i am in uk and have found a very good web link for these pumps. they
really are
quiet when running, and simply awesome to watch.

http://www.sonik-systems.com/pumps/

they do run very hot, thats normal, there is a link on the page for the
original
instructions sheet.

i do hope this thread can be relived because i am also rebuilding the
pump i
have here and would be very interested in the rebuild of the
actual pumps.

thanks

Always very suspicious when a site describes its wares as "collectors'
items" and does not give prices.

Hi all been doing a bit of tidying in the loft and came across my Hy flo
model C.
I actualy had to order it made by metcalf bros and it cost a fortune
£200+
back in 1987, its had realativly little use and I can confirm that they
do run hot due to the type of motor ( it works the same as an electric
meter inducing eddy currents in the disk ) so draws the same current
even if stalled.
As you have all seen they are a marvel to watch, I first fell in love
with them at school back in the stone age.
they had several in the science labs running various things.
Now I have unearthed it I feel that a good clean and check is in
order.
Thanks for this thread as I now know where to seek parts.

Cheers, Mark
