apart from ionics who don't sell spares,where can i get spares for these pumps?i take it they are not ionics own model so who does make them?flojet/schurflo?
i need some brushes and the springs that push the brushes down

[Small but perfectley formed]

Think they are flowjet

[robert mitchell]

i have an ionics pump and its an aquatec - does it have a model number on it?

mines got an ionics sticker but its an aquatec ddp 8800.

[kevinc]

does ddp 7800 ring any bells?would like to re-ferb these pumps if any parts are available

Can't beat a flojet, shurflo are pants

aquatic pumps are sealed units.
Just buy a new one.

[kevinc]

well i have both in peices ,works just like a starter motor or any other dc motor really,simple in operation just the spare parts may be an issue need a uk supplier-apart from ionics who don't want to know spares(buy a new one            £130-thank you)

TBH I would never fanny around trying to repair a broken pump, buying spares etc etc.  Who has the time for that?  Time is better spent out cleaning windows and earning money.

If you spend 3 hours trying to repair one, that's about 3 x £30per hour = £90 before you've even paid for any parts.

Just spend the £130 and get a new one.  Actually get 2, because IMO you should always have a spare pump on hand.  It's one of the few things that can stop you working.

Yep bang on old son.

It's usually the diaphragms at the top that go .

15 mins to fix .

Mine just had some grit in and works as new after cleaning it out .

They are not sealed units

hey thanks robert,do you have a link to a supplier for the diaphragms?-yes you are correct they are not sealed units pretty easy to service and keep it going for years

[robert mitchell]

hi , i don't have a link as i only needed to clean some grit out of mine and its working fine again.

I think the best bet would be to email aquatec and ask them where you can source the parts in the uk.

[robert mitchell]

I have just emailed them to ask where to buy spares in the uk .

Will let you know when i get a reply.

[kevinc]

thank you
