Hey Allan, I see nobody knows of anything better/cheaper either. That’s a great little pump for what it is. You’re probably aware but last I knew Shurflo (Pentair I believe) would do a complete rebuild of the pump themselves for somewhere around $400-500. Takes away most of the responsibility and burden of repairing it for the client too. It’s been years since I’ve helped someone send one in but I imagine it’s something they still offer? Repaired and good as new, might fill some of the requirements you’re seeking?
