"Where There's Water There is Pentax"! :-o

After using Pentax for more than twenty years, I've just realised today that Pentax actually makes water pumps and is indeed renowned for that! :-o

See: http://www.allpumpsdirect.co.uk/pentax-pumps;

and also (for example):-

http://www.cheapapumps.com.au/convertible_jet_pumps.html

http://www.chinayaqin.com/pentax.htm
(in Simplified Chinese; It is a large company and has large factories as told.)

A quick search on Google Image will find many more product images of the "Pentax", here are just some of the web images:-



I actually like much the slogan of "Where There's Water There is Pentax"! I now even know why our Pentax needed to create those weather-resisted DSLR bodies and WR lenses! And I do hope that the water is not a trouble(some) one, at least not as "trouble" as me in our Pentaxland!! Lol.. ;-D As for the colourful Pentax products, e.g., those in bright red and yellow colours (see above), I yet know where the idea was originally copied from!~

Btw, the "Pentax" has their official web-pages, but which seems to have been down or for restricted access only as there is always an error shown up when trying to access:-

http://www.pentax-pumps.it/ (Italian home)

Or http://www.pentax-pumps.it/en-US/website/index.aspx (US/English page, I suppose.)

But I just wonder why this direct link for yet a Pentax pump product catalogue (in pdf) hosted at their official site does work! This officially proves the existence of the Pentax pumps on this planet at least! ;-)

well actually i use pentax cameras because pentax waterpumps quite reliable in my country..i use 4 pumps in different houses for years and no complaints. then i found out that those two factories are not related each other ..lol ... fornunately, despite sdm and ff issues, pentax cameras satisfies me a lot.
This italian company has nothing to do with the Japanese Pentax. Today we have Fool's Day?

Because they are boh registered trademarks. ;-)
Wouldn't it be fun if Pentax and Pentax did an ad campaign together? Maybe something humorous, like... we are so renowned water proof, someone named a waterpump company after us. Or... "We know how to deal with water. Pentax cameras. Pentax water pumps." Something along those lines.
