    Thanks for getting back. I'm a day late and a dollar short, as the saying goes, in reading your review. I bought the thing this afternoon. I need to disasseble it and clean it and relube it. Wonder if I can find a owner's manual somewhere. That's gonna be a trick.

    I saw in one of the threads where you mentioned that you have a Hubbard extractor. How do you like it? I have a chance to buy one. Owner says he was told it holds 40+ frames but he's never used it. He sent me pics. Looks like it may hold 24 deeps max. I was just wondering if his asking price was worth it. ($1500)

    Sorry to take so long to reply - we just got back from a trip late last night. That looks similar to the pump I got. I've been so busy with my day job and other things, I never have made the time to work with the contraption as much as I wanted to. We just bought a home in the country that needs remodeled from top to bottom and we will be doing almost 100% of the work ourselves. My bees will need more time this year, but they will get less of it unfortunately this year.

    The pump I got has four rollers and I think two is probably plenty. Use a quality clean power supply for your 24V DC and probably a 5K or maybe even a 1K potentiometer should work for your speed control, wired in series from the supply hot terminal to the pump. Make sure the product is listed as food grade - many foreign firms like to use lead in a lot of their plastic products.
    email me if you want more details.
    Hope this helps - Greg
