Shurflo Pump Problem.

Mike Leary · 10-31-2009, 12:21 PM

I notice when the pump gets turned on, blackish colored water comes out for a short time and then clears. Any one have a clue? The pump is prolly 10+ years old. Thanks, M

Sounds like the impellar is shot.

Do I buy a fresh pump from you or are parts a option? Thanks Andy.

We only have the complete pumps.

I understand that repair kits are available, but have no idea from where.

I'd figured on a fresh pump, I'll call in a order next week. Thanks again.

He'd know if anyone would -- PM lewster. Give him the model # or some spec like that.

Thank you sir.

I just noticed with the pump off and on to potable, I still get the blackwater. Am I still pumping though the circuit and the wear is still happening? Odd that it quits in a few seconds.

Is it happening at every valve (hot and cold), sinks, shower and toilet. It might be a hose that is breaking down if you have a home made patch somewhere.

No patch I know about; news at eleven. I'm thinking if I took on some skanky water somewhere,I'd have pumped it out by now. The fact that it's the same black on cold or hot makes me wonder.
