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 can be reached at

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.

A collection of pump images has been started.
