Has anyone used a Nemo submersible pump?

The Nemo submersible pump is basically a water-tight enclosure for a Flojet surface pump. I find the design compelling, and a really interesting alternative to submersibles that cost almost three times as much.
Has ANYONE had any experience with this pump?
Thanks very much.--Paul

    Sounds pretty similar to the Shurflo submersible. The diffence that I can see in a quick glance is the shurflo has a special waterproof boot to hardware to the pump cable. The price is cheaper on the Nemo, it would be curious to see how well they perform over time. My shurflo has been in the water for 8 years, winter and summer, and has performed perfectly.
