Default really neat systems check it out

HI,
I visited that hurricainefilter page , and saw some neat tricks they use to auto- siphon the overflow, very easy, we used a very similar method to auto bail racing sail boats, as the water flow by the suction creates enough pull to actually pull water through a flapper valve, this auto siphon uses down draft suction to pull air out of the tube and keep it free of bubbles if you loose power there's no new bubbles so it stays primed until the pumps start again
pretty neat.
Doug

Default maybe the don't answer their email

HI,
I ordered a couple of those U-Tubes that i plan to mod for the overflow, my order was 12/28, recieved email shipping next day,
I emailed them if they shipped no answer,last week
emailed again no answer 4 days later
so today i sent 3 emails and plan to contact pay pal about failure to deliver products, that usally get a response, although pay pal likes to wait 6 weeks.
My guess is my order is too small for any real concern on their part and they did mention it was coming parcel post, maybe it was stolen.
what are they going to do with my U-tubes.. hehe
Doug
