You think the different locations have different quality pumps? I doubt Pwmall has a lower grade pump than what Bob has. If anything they would have a better pump because they sell more volume and are a more important vendor.
Just my thoughts. I think sometimes a pump just goes, regardless of where it comes from. I have bought pumps from all over and some last a day (then get returned) and some last a year.

So true Zach. I have been buying from PW Mall for years and only had one pump fall and it was replace without returning it. The only difference I have seen is Bob put's his sticker over the Delavan sticker. He has no special nozzles, just a J rod with 30's on it. We use both 30's and 40's.

Head pressure can cause any pump to fail. I killed one in a week doing apartment roofs and knew it was my fault.

 Bob sells a pump that the original Delavan builder built. Its not a Delavan anymore. Delavan moved on from that guy and built their own pump. Bobs pump looks like a Delavan, but its not.

 If we were using 12V all day, I'd give this pump a try that Mav posted. Remco FatBoy
