Be Wary (Maybe) of Stay Cool Pumps Impellers

At any rate, I read through your interesting linked dissertation, and I now know a lot more about glycerin (or glycerine) than before. Fascinating stuff, it turns out, with an incredible number of uses. However, nowhere in that vast body of information did it say that it increased flexibility of rubber products when externally applied. It does affirm that glycerine is a good lubricant for rubber, something that we seem to agree upon.

And with respect to your first sentence above, one would think that the knowledgeable professional with 40 years of experience would be happy to educate the poor amateur practitioner, who suffers from ignorance on so many subjects. Perhaps I was wrong to ask.

Obviously you missed the bit about it being a plasticiser. Still, it appears arrogance rather than facts are what counts when it comes to the pilot.

Plasticizers are part of the original composition of the material, not something that you rub on the outside. And no, I didn't miss that in the article.

I don’t understand how I’m being arrogant, nor have I seen any “Facts”
But welcome them, cause I’d like to know what happened, I don’t enjoy changing impellers and don’t like them failing on me. So far other than speculation, Gord has shown the only thing that I would consider a fact, that this type of failure is indicative of a blockage of water flow.
The other fact I guess is Jim noticing that the diameter of the hub is larger, whether that is a contributing fact to failure is conjecture.
