Reel,

I'm guessing then that you haven't had any problem with the seals drying
or cracking? That was my main concern with letting the pump dry out.
====================
As far as I know that has not occurred. My old Beckett lasted for years and
the rubber seal was still pliable and looked like new. About 2 years ago
water did leak in but the screws weren't as tight as they should have been.
We used some Vaseline on the seal, tightened the screws and all was well
until it developed a dead spot a few weeks ago.
