Did a Trader joes run and also looked at pumps in Northern Tool. Ended up buying an 800 GPH in Home Depot as well as a roll of one inch tubing. Hooked it up to the filter and promptly overflowed the thing. Went out to home Depot again and bought a 2 inch pipe as well as a 2 inch shower drain to put on the side of the filter to attach the pipe. The filter now works perfectly except for a leak on the inlet port. i'll deal with that later. We decided not to go out to First Friday today but instead had ribs, Lima beans and shiraz. We checked on Joes drive across the state and he appeas to be stopping at the TN/Nc border for the night.
