Subject:      A Better Quality Sink Pump? ShurFlo? FLAPS Alternative?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

Sink pump finally bit the bullet. That last spray of WD did it. Pump
is located at bottom of sink cabinet area.

I realize my pump could have been damaged by lack of winterizing, but
it seems the Westy pump is a weak spot. So, I am looking for a better
quality pump.

Anyone using a ShurFlo? Anyone using some kind of FLAPS alternative?

Saw a comment in archives of one person using a JC Whitney pump. Looks
a bit more skookum:

No JCW's in Vancouver B.C. though. Would be nice to find a part locally.

Neil.
