..yup, just like the one that fried......Farm & Fleet carries them......I can't remember how long that I've been using it, but a long time.... huh..it's served us well..
I use one of these to pump the water out of the tanks. Hose to the faucet works to get the water back in. I have a smaller one but bought this one because it said it worked as inline pump. Tried it but couldn't get it to work. I guess I haven't figured out how to prime it.

You should be able to make the pump self-priming by putting a riser on the downstream side that holds water. You have to hang the end of the hose up when you aren't using it though, or the water will pour out.
I just picked up this pump at Farm & Fleet.......an excellent pump at a great price....and....it's made 5 miles away in Sycamore |^|...the town that I bought it in.... ;D
..also picked up more water/carbon filters...and a new remote switch for when my current one craps out...$13.....that's $40 cheaper than my current one :)....been using it forever, but now I
have a new backup.... |^| |^| |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|
