[RE-wrenches] Shurflo 9325 pump.....

[John]

Hi Brian,   thanks for that information, but the devil is in the detail.  Or in this instance, not in the detail.   

 

I have that manual and if you look close, they only show the motor as one unit (T) – there is no breakdown for the End Bell kit – which include the brushes.  Not even a mention of them.  I guess that instead of replacing the brushes (worth $U.S. 27), they want you to replace the whole motor assembly, worth $U.S.  XXXXX            

 

Interesting that.                               Thanks for trying, cheers,            John V

Hi Jay,  thanks for that info – as a matter of interest, do you happen to have a Shurflo part number for that  “End Bell Brush kit”          Where do you obtain that part from?

 

Also appreciate your comments on Sunpumps & Grundfos SQflex.                        Cheers,        John V

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

Peltz power.

Hi all,

 

Can I call on the expertise of anyone involved with these pumps.   The problem seems to be that the manufacturer wants to supply *kit* of parts and not individual parts, like the brushes, which apparently need to be replaced every year.     Same with the cable adaptor – you have to buy a kit that includes all sorts, when you only need one individual piece.

 

I realize why the manufacturers do this, but if you only need brushes, why have to buy a whole Upper Housing kit.   And the Lower Housing kit only seems to have the Beige/cream colored diaphragm instead of a black one – are the black replacement ones unobtainable??

 

Also buying outside the U.S. poses a problem as agents don’t always have what you need/want.

 

These are a good little pump and it appears they are a part of the great Planned Obsolence way of the world, replacing next higher assemblies instead of the required necessary parts.   Any good contacts on the West Coast for some bits & pieces for these good little pumps.

 

                                Cheers for any & all help/advice – John Veix,      New Zealand
