Where is the leak? Service kits may be available for this pump. Jabsco renumbered their pumps some time ago. This pump may use the same service kit as a current pump.
Barring that, both the Par and Shurflo pumps have good reliability. My experience seems to indicate the Shurflo pumps are slightly quieter. Both have available service kits. I would look at the Shurflo 3.0 GPM Aqua King or the Par Max 2.9 GPM. Dennis C.
