Second the Johnson pump. Went through 3 jabsco pumps under warranty before I was told about the Johnson pump.

I hadn't noticed them before, so they may be fairly new on the market. I have tried the above pumps, and also a Marco, and none of them worked properly for me. I got one of the Johnsons this spring, and it has worked flawlessly. The other ones, for some reason, would let air get into the system, and then they would just run without pumping anything. Very pleased with the Johnson so far.Bill ColemanEntrada, Erie PAOn Sun, Oct 17, 2021, 11:49 AM Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:
I would consider a pump with variable rate - it won't start/stop frequently and does not need an accumulator. Jabsco and Sureflow both have a model.

Actually the pressure switch. It still pumps fine but without the switch to shut it off it trips the breaker. Pump is a PAR / ITT JABSCO 36970-1000, 2.8 GPM. Has been out of production for years. Some internet search show a switch 37121-0010 is supposedly available on flea bay for about $60 plus shipping. Supposedly OEM part that has been sitting on the shelf for years. A brand new pump assembly is less than $150. Given the age of the current pump, a new one seems to make sense. That gets us into the tubing which is Qest, is also OEM and there is a small leak that so far has eluded discovery. The new pumps do not provide fitting compatible with Qest. One of my options would be to replace the tubing especially with the new plastic tubing now available. Any thoughts on which system works best?
