I am your host Jacques Chaurette and the author of this web site and most of everything in it. I live in Montreal, Canada. I have nothing to do with any pump manufacturing company and am not trying to sell you anything. Please join the Forum and ask any question you like. I can be reached at Yours truely. I once had a site called www.fluidedesign.com which was abandonned and morphed into this site, unfortunately by mistake the domain name was allowed to lapse and someone else picked it up. Before that I had a site called www.pumpsRme.com, not very original I know, that was in 1992, everything was new then on the internet.

Yours truely
