    omg ethos im sorry but that thing about modifying laing pumps is the biggest BS I've read today . There is this thing called "warranty" it generally is made invalid once you modify a product that is under that so called warranty. The same thing goes with all others parts too such as GPU's and other hardware. They arent designed so that you can modify them (voltmods for example) so if you do, you lose your warranty. If you do that and break your gpu, it's no use whining to the manufacturer how their product wasnt able to handle your mods.

    Same with the pumps. They are designed to work in the way they are packed in the box. If you start modding with their circuit boards and it breaks, too bad. It's you fault and the manufacturer isnt responsible for it. SAME goes for 3rd party tops too. They arent designed by the pumps manufacturer and neither are they approved by the pump manufacturer so if your pump breaks down and it is caused by a 3rd party top. Boohoo you're out of luck again.

    But hey if your DDC breaks down and it's just caused by burning out or something else that isnt due your modding. Then they do get covered by warranty.. Electronics do break so the manufacturer cannot promise that yours will last without breaking.

    What you are saying would mean that companies manufacturing chainsaws for example should make them so that it is impossible to cut your hand off with them. Well do they? Obviously not.

    Bah where is the common sense gone these days. I'll probaby get flamed now for this but I'll stand by my words, anyone who agree's with ethos's theory on intended misuse is an idiot in my book.

    edit: and just to specify a bit. Yes there should be warning stickers on product telling how you shouldnt use them when it includes a risk of some sort of injury or accident or possibly breaking of the product by using it in a wrong way. But this does not apply to modifying them.
