I realize it will probably : turn my sink into a pressure washer Think of how easy it'll be to wash the dishes ;-) : put in a rheostat switch to control the output (any suggestions on this?) You want a Pulse-Width Modulation type of speed control. The advantage of these is that they always apply full voltage, but for a varying amount of time. Motors like to have their full operating voltage, or else they suck down much more current and heat up more. : Otherwise you could try an RV store... FWIW, I went to a local RV supply place a couple of years ago to find a replacement for the original hand-operated pump that was in the Gerbil (1966). They had the exact same pump (except that their's was functional). If they've got parts for campers dating back that far, finding a replacement for something a third the age shouldn't be difficult at all. Dworkin
