The Tom's Aqualifter that I use for my ATO died today. This pump was purchased in 2007 and started out as the pump for the external overflow before being used for the current ATO system. So running for eight years, I can't complain. Now I have a back-up Aqualifter, but also have a little rebuild kit that I picked up from BRS a number of years ago. Here's the kit next to the opened pump.
I never took close notice of this rebuild kit, and just thought it was the two diaphragms. However, after opening up the kit I found that it also contained new pump chamber parts....everything to make the pump new again. Here's the rebuilt pump head with the old parts that were replaced spread out next to the pumphead.
So I'm really impressed with this rebuild kit. I originally purchased this form BRS a number of years ago and just looked it up......it sells for $2.39 today. I'd highly recommend this little kit if you own an Aqualifter. Within 30 minutes that pump was up and running again.
