Okay, the Rule 2000 ballast pump is the pump that the OEM 2008 and older gravity ballast system uses for filling. 1 pump to the 3 sprinkler valve manifold. One upgrade path that people have used is to install a "T" fitting and put in a 2nd pump. It helps address one of the bottlenecks w/o completely gutting and starting over. (yes, I am aware that the sprinkler valves themselves are also a bottleneck, which can be addressed by putting in the high flow Irritrol valves). With a 2nd pump, you could setup your system so that the rear bags fill off one pump and the front bag fills off another. For surfing that would double your fill speed if you were filling the surfside locker and the center locker.
I'll get pictures up of the actual pump soon. But what you'd get is the bare pump with a pos/neg pigtail of wire coming off it.
You could also use this pump to create an over the side portable ballast pump. You'd need hose, 2 fittings, and some wire. It'd be an effective way to make your own ballast pump that's faster than a Tsunami for less money. I've ran the Rule 2000 and the Tsunami pump side by side as over the side pumps and the Rule is most certainly faster.
I'll sell it for $50 + $10 shipping. The pumps retail for $100+ so I think it's a reasonable price to hook up a forum member for.
I'll try to get a picture of the actual pump up here soon.
