Pumps

A little question on pumps.

Can they run on there side.. or upside down?

I would have thought they could.

Thanks!

you can just make sure that the pull of the pump is not inverted towards gravity. its not good for the pump over long periods of time.

i dont think DDC can, i recall reading it somewhere if DDC run upside down, the bit(not sure what to call that floating bit) inside the pump will keep hitting the case and cause damage.

Hmm... I'm near positive I've seen a rig on XS where someone had their DDCs sideways... not sure about upside-down though
