	Most of the time, a diaphragm pump is not installed unless there is a reason. And the reason is usually dependent upon what you are pumping. So, switching to an electric pump may not be such a wise idea. Can you disclose what you are pumping? Are you (or have you) considering a reciprocating electric motor to replace the air pressure function? __________________ A great troubleshooting tip...."When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

	Most pneumatic pumps are used to pump flammable liquids if this is what you are pumping I would not recommend changing to an electric. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	Not without some idea of what the <...pneumatic diaphram pump...> is doing! Wetting agent? Temperature range? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
