Does anyone have a favorite vacuum pump for use with a dewaxing filer flask?
You can spend many thousands on a fully sealed pump, but many folks seems to just go with the cheapest available and replace them every year.
Of course there's the chance Ethanol will get into your pump if it's not sealed.
Thanks for your inputs!

I purchased a diaphragm pump to handle multiple filtration vessels at a time, throughput makes it worthwhile. I typically filter 8-24L of solution a week. You could probably get a fairly good deal on 2 head vacuubrand diaphragm pump that would last you a long time.
The Rocker Scientific pumps are the cheapest quality pump around and work fine for pulling through a Buchner funnel or filter flask.
Maybe not a pump but a whole system that will last a lifetime, here is a link to a filter trolley that uses a diaphragm pump. $4500.00 https://sambocreeck.com/collections/frontpage/products/400mm-15-7-inches-buchner-type-filter-trolley-model-babf400
