Re: [RE-wrenches]   Shurflo 9300 submersible alternative?

2022-06-07 Thread Andrew Perkins via RE-wrenches 
I ran into the same problem and got sick of repairing 9300s only for them to 
fail right afterwords. So we switched over to the sunpump SDS-T 128 it's metal, 
quality parts and cheaper at like $750. They can also be rebuilt. I primarily 
sell these. Then China came along and now you can get a 9300 knockoff on Amazon 
called an ECO-WORTHY for a grand total of $90 bucks! It has the near same specs 
as a 9300, probably not able to repair it or maybe, I do not know. Hope that 
helps!Andrew PerkinsGreenwiredStore Manager/Service Tech​P: 707-923-2001 ext.

Wrenches,
In years past I used to have more than a dozen clients with Shurflo
9325 ('9300') 12/24V DC submersible well pumps, and kept the parts
to rebuild them. It's been at least ten years since I was asked to
repair or replace one. In that time the price has risen enough that
the retail price is now around $1,000. This morning my neighbor
called to tell me that hers had failed and she wants a replacement.

Please reply if you have found a less expensive replacement that
will fit the same application: 24V array-direct; under 200' TDH with
open discharge; around 200 watts of 40-year-old modules. It would
pretty much have to be a Chinese copy of a diaphragm pump like the
Shurflo.

I'm not looking for a better pump solution; I know that there
several good ones. My neighbor lives alone on a fixed income, on the
homestead she built in the 1970s, and this approach has served her
for decades. I'm just looking for a cheaper pump that will replace
the Shurflo and has a decent track record for reliability.

Thanks, Allan

Re: [RE-wrenches] Shurflo 9300 submersible alternative?

2022-06-07 Thread Nick A Lucchese via RE-wrenches 
Hey Allan, I see nobody knows of anything better/cheaper either. That’s a great 
little pump for what it is. You’re probably aware but last I knew Shurflo 
(Pentair I believe) would do a complete rebuild of the pump themselves for 
somewhere around $400-500. Takes away most of the responsibility and burden of 
repairing it for the client too. It’s been years since I’ve helped someone send 
one in but I imagine it’s something they still offer? Repaired and good as new, 
might fill some of the requirements you’re seeking?

Good luck, Nick
