Worth every penny! Click to expand... This is not uncommon - These pumps are made to last - that is why they are thermally protected. If you are having any issues - I can always rebuild your pump no matter of the age.

As long as the lid is strong enough to handle the vacuum... What about the PET Fermonster wide-mouth carboy? Would that work as well, or would the plastic be too soft?
