Another pump question:
  I modified household check valves (made the springs weaker for lower
opening pressure) for use with our Rule 500 pumps, and the valves worked
great last year.  I guess they got caked with salt over the winter, though,
and they've been a bit balky in both our boats in recent pool tests.  Any of
you Rule 500 types (or folks with any pump that does not have a built-in
check valve) come up with a happier solution?
