Title: squeaky pump
Post by: lee_dewing 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

Get a pump from Extend to clean/John Hewett. Not the small backpack 100 psi pump although it ill do the job.

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