squeaky pump
« on: November 20, 2013, 12:07:02 am »
Got a pump box from daqua about a year ago.

The shurflo 100 psi pump is now squeaking like a wheel on a broken shopping trolley.

Is it time to buy another?

Not best pleased, don't think that's a great length of service.

Anyone used a cheaper alternative pump?

thanks Lee

You could take it apart and lubricate the bearing on the end of the shaft. Dead easy to do. Reassembly is slightly trickier.
