[DMCForum] Re: That darn water return pipe



Hi James,

I don't think you're being a herbert at all. That's a totally valid
question. The only evidence I have to refute your theory is that I
know of several people who've been running a single rubber piece in
the "valley" with no troubles for some time.

I thought that port on the water pump was an output, not an input.
Perhaps Martin can shed more light on this?
