whats the fastest pump made,and where do i get xtra caps and plugs

I just got rid of a Rule I hated, lots of priming. Bought a straightline 1000gph works great. xtra caps and plugs are the same as for waterbeds. I've seen a Skylon 2000 gph but it was a little too pricey for me.

skylon 2000 gph is a rule pump in a skylon box. if you want a monster pump, get this one. 3800 gph. here is a link to buy it. You can get the waterbed connectors at a waterbed store. <a href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/productdetail.jsp?xi=xi&amp;ItemId=1611772729" target="_blank">http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/productdetail.jsp?xi=xi&amp;ItemId=1611772729</a> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/73023.jpg" alt="">

Excellent deal. Saw a used one in Knoxville for $145 (approx)I believe i'll order one.

I've got one I'll sell for $120. Barely used. Works fine. Don't need it. Email me. <a href="mailto:enderlin@conwaycorp.net">enderlin@con waycorp.net</a> <BR>

Andrew, <BR> <BR>That's the best price I've seen for the Rule 3800. Is that pump submersible (can I toss it over the side into the lake and still do it the old school way)? Also, I imagine this pump doesn't have the wires that hook into a cigarette lighter. Does anybody know where to get the adapter?

I have this pump and there is no doubt its fast, priming it is a real pain though unless you are happy to through it over the side everytime. I have just finshed hard mountng it in my boat with a rule 500 GPH through hull pump in parallel to prime it. I use it fill and empty my sacks now and its great, fast especially with the priming pump left on as well... I put large flow fittings on the pump and sacks to get the max out of the pump otherwise the restrictions slow it down. <BR> <BR>Oh and you need to be carefull how you wire it in as it pulls quite a current. I wouldn't put it through the lighter socket as they are not normally rated high enough. From memory they need to be on a 20 amp fused feed. <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by phimple on July 02, 2003)

Just use Simer pumps. There not as fast, but they are self priming, and by swapping polarity you can fill and empty.
