Subject:      Westy water tank pump
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


A couple of weeks ago I asked about water tank pumps.  I had
a sump pump (West Marine sells them for about $14) in mine
and it quit pumping.


Nobody suggested another sump pump.  A couple of people
advised getting an original replacement.  Thanks to those
people for emailing me; it conviced me to go back to stock.


I got one from GoWesty ($37 delivered) and put it in.
It is better because the wiring cover seals in the top-o-tank
grommet, the wires are color coded (the sump pump was hooked
up to run backwards....)--and it pumps much more volume!


So I say, forget sump pumps and stick with the original design.
