For the next year, we spent tens of thousands on oil changes, new pump cartridges, rebuilding valves etc. It is my understanding that as oil enters vanes of a pump, under a vacuum, water in oil will boil, causing all kinds of nasty effects to the oil , as well as the pump. All in all oil is cheap. Regards, Davis
