[DeTomaso] Meziere water pumps

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Professor Engles,

The Pacific Inland Northwest division of the Pantera Research  
Institute currently prices either the Meziere or the Steward electric  
pumps at a bit over $400.

Feedback from various users indicates a positive experience with  
either unit.  Some run both the electric pump along with a mechanical,  
while others run the electric only.  Beside the idea of a flat  
firewall, I see no specific benefit to running -only- the electric.   
Therefore running both may be the preferred method.

I do agree a controller that could vary the voltage to the pump in  
order to regulate speed (rather than a pulse controller) would also  
benefit.

More research needed, more funding we need to apply for.

Sincerely,
Asa Jay
Lead Researcher, PIN PRI
