    Hi, I ordered and received an Intelliflo VF pump and when I opened it, I found (the unit is 3 months since manufacture): 1. water droplets on the inside of the strainer cover, and some on the body as well. The sales/guy said that this is due to pressure testing at the factory. Box is soft due...
