Do you guys have a rebuild kit? The pump I have after about 18 months of "heavy" needs rebuilding.

I don't think so, but I haven't pulled it apart. The pump has run flawlessly since I bought it. The only reason I would replace it is to increase my tank size from 150 gal to 300 gal.

I just posted four pictures, with notes, on how to disassemble and properly clean the pump. Hopefully that should help.

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned. Follow the directions for cleaning that came with the pump, and go through the process twice. Good Luck! I've had the same problem after several years of use at which point the pump just seems to wear out.

I had a problem with my pump after only a couple weeks. I followed some on line directions to clean it and recalibrate it and it worked! Have you tried that? Otherwise I think in the other reviews I found a link to the company and you can talk to them.

I know their customer service wasn't helpful; however is it possible to ask for a parts list for the whole unit. Is the impeller fixable by customer, if so J B Weld is a great repair solution.

I tried repair kits but were not long term solutions. I finally replaced fill valve complete unit and is working like new.

Funny you should ask! I went down to my basement the other day and the light was OUT! The unit is supposed to be under warranty for 5 years. It's been two years since I had it installed. I have already spoken with the folks at Intermatic and will be sending the unit to them for their tech guy to take a look at it to see what went wrong. No matter how this goes, I won't regret having the unit -- if it took a hit that would have taken out my well pump or septic pump, it's still worth the cost of replacing it. But there's still some hope that Intermatic will find that it was a defect in the unit and perhaps it will be repaired or I will be compensated somehow? Hey, if they repair it, I'll keep it just in case there's a problem going forward two more years from now! So - you're right - there is no reset switch and the units are NOT serviceable by the consumer - However, the company is really good and if you send them the unit, they will investigate what happened! Jury's still out on whether I'm just out the cost - we shall see!

either the piston kit had bad packings or valve assembly is bad, send me a pic of kit you used

Sorry but no on the years, but do like very much how it cycles now as I can set it anywhere height wise in the pit now...my pumps were cycling on every few seconds in the spring because of the short throw, surprised they even held up...now subject to a power outage I feel real comfortable with the setup as it is...wouldn't hesitate to buy another one for my backup pump at some time...absolutely the way to go, get rid of the short throws on the pumps....no moving parts to contend with...

I have the exact same pump as you, that I need to replace. Did you get an answer, or try the EZ model?

I found cleaning the pump intake solved the problem. When I took my out, it had cat hair plugging the intake side. Once I got it cleaned out, it works like new!

All you need is thin flat rubber or nitrile sheet. Take the old diaphrams apart and make new with the rubber sheet. I've only had one of these pumps that I couldn't get to work, they are solid and reliable. I bet I run mine for a year on average before I start to notice the airflow drop some, then I know it's time to clean it out real good and replace the rubber diaphrams. You can find several nice vids that show it barney style on Youtube. I hope that helps!

I have not had it repaired. My trouble has been that the motor would run and not pump. I have not attempted to repair - just bought a new one. I did keep the switch from the old one just in case. I am not pleased with the overall quality of the pump as I have had to replace about every two years. I use it to pump gas from a 5 gallon can into my boat to save trips to the marina and those gas prices. I have looked for alternatives but have not been able to find one. The last time I replaced, I took the hose from the old one and glued onto the new one to make a longer hose.

Great warranty response. They sent me a new pump when mine failed after several months. Cordial, polite. I would buy these again. You can get parts, too.
