Wakemakers told me they have not had anyone finish an installation with these Talula pumps at the time I am working on this upgrade. I did some math on the power of the Talula pumps. With 3 of them running the bags will add 750# per minute. The original aerator pump (single pump) took 30 minutes to fully fill the bags with 3200# total weight, or only 100# per minute. It will now take just over 4 minutes to fill the bags, and the new pumps can board 22,500# of water in the time it took the old pump to fill the bags...more than triple the base weight of the boat. In the time it used to take to fill the bags, or about one surfer run, we could sink the boat!

I considered skipping the pump timers, but once I looked at the math I realized the timers are important safety components. In fact, I may have to wire an alarm to flow meters in the bag vents. Forgetting to turn a pump off or bumping a switch on could be catastrophic. Anyway, thought somebody out there might be interested in some fun math.
