Hi My Shurflo has develop partial incontinence. I'm assuming this matter has been debated to death but rather than searching through the archives I decided to post it as a new topic, mostly because I couldn't waste an opportunity of mentioning ''partial incontinence'' in a forum topic and then repeat it a few times in the text. Rather than repair it I could just replace the whole partially incontinent mess as it's six years old anyway, but then realized it's been discontinued. Any suggestions? Would it be worth repairing it (after finding out if it's the diaphragm or what exactly is wrong with it) or just replace the thing with the closest replacement on the market right now? Thanks in advance

Our Shurflo Aqua King pump started leaking over a year ago, after which i isolated it. You will see from the photograph that we have two pumps, i think the other might be a Jabsco but am not on the boat until later today. The Shurflo pump deals with the flush water to the Mansfield Traveler, the other pump deals with everything else (except the shower, for which we have another pump located elsewhere). For the last year we've simply flushed the loo with water from a bottle but i now want to replace this pump. I've read a few of the threads on here and Shurflo don't seem to have a very good reputation and seem very prone to leaks. Additionally, they also seem to be impossible to source from the UK. Ebay and Amazon list pumps located in the US with very hefty carriage charges that would take the cost of the pump to about £160. However, i'm looking for an easy life atm, so would prefer a pump that's a straight swap rather than having to re-jig the pipework etc. Any suggestions would be welcome. One of the threads on here suggested that Shurflo's Trail King series, which are considerably cheaper, are satisfactory replacements for a narrowboat so am considering one of these unless anybody can come up with a better suggestion. I've also read on other threads talk of an accumulator; i haven't a clue what one of these looks like or whether we have one, maybe somebody can advise from the attached photographs.

Hiya everyone. I need a little help locating the correct replacement diaphragm for my Shurflo pump. It packed in the other day, but the stress (i still react to many things on the boat with 'headless chicken' first) was greatly reduced by the previous owner having fixed and left a replacement pump on the boat. So i fit it, It works and seems to be ok (i'm keeping an eye on it). I now want to fix the old one so that we can have that one as a spare. The pump is a shureflo Aqua King 3.0 (3901-0213). I read that some can't be fixed but i'm hoping this isn't one of them? (Thats the first question). If it can any help locating the diaphragm would be amazing. I've looked online but i feel a bit out of my depth...there are loads of them... Thanks in advance!
