Jabsco strainer Par Pumpgard

[crispyboy]

Over the weekend I noticed the plastic cap on the strainer for the potable water supply was broken.
It is made by Jabsco Strainer Par Pumpgard Model 36400-0000.
Where can a new one be purchased? or is their another product that can be substituted?

I found a new one exactly like it at West Marine - Make Boating Better with New Boating Gear from West Marine -- I'll have to browse there before saying it's still available.

This is the new version of what you have, available from Jabsco. (this is their pic as well)

I did find a different type of filter at West Marine -- same as Terry's above. But I found a number of images like my Argosy's filter from suppliers at Google Image Search and inserting jabsco pumpgard in the search field. The function is simple enough. You probably couldn't go wrong with what Terry shows.

Last I knew (2004) the plastic cover was still available thru most RV dealers , pn 44070-0000 . Good luck

And at $9.95, it is probably one of the cheaper parts you will be putting on your Airstream.

thanks everyone, I'll put my phone and computer to work.

BTW -- I figured out the clear outer shell on mine had cracked due to inadequate winterizing. It's not desirable to put RV antifreeze in the fresh water tank -- too hard to flush out. You know where the strainer is now. Install a bypass valve for winterizing between it and the water tank. That should protect the water pump too.
