    you might want to also consider changing your discharge so instead of running into a wall and then going up you have internal geometry more akin to a curve. Not sure of your software package, but basically look to sweep a circle along a smooth curve to make your 90

    Yeah, I had wanted to do that when I first designed this. Couldn't figure out how to do it then. I think I know how to do it now. Stay tuned for v2. :)

    Long time coming, but v2 is in the works. Did a complete redesign, but the results are so much better.

    Pumps like a pump. ;) GPM haven't been tested since the discharge isn't done yet. I should have that wrapped up here soon though.

    A definite improvement in body design. Interesting volute design.

    There's a reason mine has the lip at the join between motor mount plate and volute... :)
