    Fifty20One, thanks for the detailed information and photos
    on the pump inlet check valve.
    If I’m thinking correctly, the inlet and outlet check valves
    would have to be designed differently, so the inlet ball
    seats on the pressure stroke of the piston, and the outlet
    ball opens. Correct?
    Wonder why they drilled six holes instead of
    just a screen on the bottom? Cheaper, and quicker
    I suppose.
    Thanks!
