Hi Thomas,

I have a stand alone EWP.  I'm using a single Mezarie WP336 after giving
up on trying to plumb in two WP136's.  The WP336 is a much more
substantial pump than the Craig-Davies pump and has as good or better
flow rate.  (I would have to look up the numbers.)  I don't have as
much flow as I wanted, but finally decided to try the thing before
worrying about increasing it.  I estimate about 11 gpm actual flow rate
and wanted 20 gpm.
