I have another address in the Netherlands were I can get them for 225 incl. vat.

These are the pumps I want to use for my system, are those the same as in the 2006 models ?
Do you maybe know how the system is setup in the new models ? How do they drain out the sides, with another pump ?

Noop, they drain out of the bottom scoop. So your setup would be 2006 like.
Is that the price a piece?! Pff, I think you can order 3 of them in the states and incl shipping and handling you would be cheaper then buying 2 of them in Europe. I know some people bought them for $160,- a piece. Don't ask me where, I think someone on this board could help you with this. The're some pictures of the Air 220 with the pumps included (engine compartment). If you plan to put the pumps out of the engine compartment you should really consider the Simer BW8512. Does are running dry protected, reverseble and faster then the Jabsco. Only you cannot put them in your engine compartment (no ignition protection). You can mount them under your back seats (right and left of your tranny) and save $100,- per pump.

Yeah that was my problem also a little bit, these pumps are really expensive. The placement of the pumps is really not that important to me. Placing them under my backseat would also be fine. I will have a look were to get these simer pumps.

Thanks for the advice Tommy.

ps. I still don't have my tower yet, planned delivery is now end of September.

My pumps are run dry and you hear the change in pump noise when they are empty..............yes the valve is for safety.
