Hi Jay, thanks for that info – as a matter of interest, do you happen to have
a Shurflo part number for that “End Bell Brush kit” Where do you
obtain that part from?
Also appreciate your comments on Sunpumps & Grundfos SQflex.
Cheers, John V

Hi john
What you are looking for on the brushes is
End bell brush kit. $27
But I highly recommend Sunpumps brand submersible pumps. Vastly superior
design, much easier to repair, and connecting the wires is super easy and won't
leak
On the overall pump design all these diaphragm pumps require rebuilding or they
will fail internally, then leak, then fill up with water which is kind of hard
on them.
If you look at life cycle cost, the grundfos SQflex, is a much better deal, IMHO

Hi all,
Can I call on the expertise of anyone involved with these pumps. The problem
seems to be that the manufacturer wants to supply *kit* of parts and not
individual parts, like the brushes, which apparently need to be replaced every
year. Same with the cable adaptor – you have to buy a kit that includes all
sorts, when you only need one individual piece.
I realize why the manufacturers do this, but if you only need brushes, why have
to buy a whole Upper Housing kit. And the Lower Housing kit only seems to
have the Beige/cream colored diaphragm instead of a black one – are the black
replacement ones unobtainable??
Also buying outside the U.S. poses a problem as agents don’t always have what
you need/want.
These are a good little pump and it appears they are a part of the great
Planned Obsolence way of the world, replacing next higher assemblies instead of
the required necessary parts. Any good contacts on the West Coast for some
bits & pieces for these good little pumps.
Cheers for any & all help/advice – John Veix,
