Hi Brian,

Thanks for the response.  Pegasus does indeed mention the possibility of
multiple pumps, but the price for two SS pumps is basically the same as for
one interrupter-style unit.  The redundant nature of the dual setup is a
compelling safety/convenience feature, but I am left wondering if there
something about an interrupter style that might outweigh that benefit?  I've
tried to do a little research on the differences and relative advantages of
each, but so far have come up blank.  Anyone know?

Thanks,
