Hi everyone,
I have a Flojet 4325 Series water pump which has just become very noisy. Turns out it has been leaking and its got into a bearing (still pumps ok though).
Now as you know, these pumps arent cheap and I would expect it to last longer than 3 yrs and 3 months. As a livaboard it does get a fair ammount of use but I almost always get showered at work so I wouldnt say its use is excessive.
I'm a bit miffed at having to shell out £150 (+ vat and delivery) for a new one from Aquafax, anyone know anywhere cheaper? Also, do I really need such a big pump (17 l/min at 40psi)? Yes I have 2 bathrooms, one with a bath and one with a shower but I never (well very rarely) use the bath but both toilets, sinks etc get used. The reason I ask is the pump has always been quite loud and that's with loads of towels wrapped around it, I'm guessing a less powerful pump will be quieter?
Cheers,
Dean.
