Hey, sorry I missed this.

To be honest I don't recall. It seems to me that there was a bracket that went between the volute assembly and the pump to support the needlewheel, I likely would've noticed if the needlewheel was just loose but I'm not 100% sure of that.

Yeah that piece was missing from my box. Waiting for proline to send me one.

Talked to vertex yesterday about the omega series and the new 135 is now a in cone pump. No release date but should be 6 to 8 weeks.

Does anyone have more info as that was all I could find
