I just completed the conversion from a vibration pump to a rotary pump on my B II. The conversion took about 2 hours to complete and assuming the installer possesses modest mechanical skills, is an easy do-it-yourself upgrade. I purchased the kit from WLL . The kit includes the pump and motor, stainless steel hoses, OPV, motor mounting hardware and a new lid which I personally prefer over the original B II lid. You need to provide some spade connectors and a grounding lug. The pump assembly was completely assembled and tuned perfectly. The assembly was received well packed and unharmed by UPS.
Gone is the loud noise, tank assembly, orphan hex screws and the empty tank sensor. I had already converted my unit to a mechanical float soon after purchase in 2006 and if I hadn't awoken to a minor flood a few weeks ago, I would have stayed with that delivery method. Because Lake Michigan water is so hard, my machine is fed by its own softening and carbon filtration system. I never did figure out why the float happened to stick that one time and was very close to jumping the Brewtus ship for a new Vibieemme PID machine, but I'm very happy I didn't. This morning I just pulled my first Cappuccino with the new setup and my own blend I roasted a few days ago – life is good.
