Shurflo - pressure switches are £1.69 to replace.

I've got two of each - shurflo at about 6 years each having had several new switches at less than £2 - and a pair of flojets about three months old each.


And the diaphragm O rings on the shurflo are about 17p when they get tired at the 5 year mark!

The flojets seem fine but early days yet.

I'd be interested in knowing where I can get a pressure switch at that price, mine packed up last week I thought they were about £20.

You don't - you go to Maplins and just get the switch which prises out. Less than £2.

Only ever used Flojet, Until the last one went down and I'm now using a Vyair pump recommended by a mate, excellent pump and cheaper.

Phil at Vyair, good bloke and great service

I have found Flojet to be more reliable than Shurflo.  That's from a very tiny sample though so can't be relied on as normal.
