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 Jay Peltz power. > On Feb 16, 2015, at 11:49 PM, "John" <j...@gosolar.co.nz> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Can I call on the expertise of anyone involved with these pumps.
