[C320-list] Head Shower Pump

Karl,
Did you adjust the parking so that you get a couple of drips per minute when running?  
Sorry couldn't resist.  Very clever solution.

Irv,
Do you have an o-ring in your filter canister? I found that my filter did  
not have one when I went to clean the screen this spring. I have no idea  
how I was getting a good enough seal to pull suction. Not having the  
correct sized o-ring, I simply used a length of flax packing to create a  
gasket. Works fine.
