Water pump bracket replacement

The mounting bracket for the Artis water pump in our Winnebago literally fell apart. Do they make replacement brackets or do I need a whole new pump? If a new one, suggested replacement brand/model.

  • in 41 years of working on RV's I have never seen a water pump mount bracket fail. BUT, I looked up Artis(not a common pump brand) and it appears it is a WFCO product. WFCO is a Asian supplier that takes existing products and goes to China and knocks off the other brands that are established. So, the fact you bracket failed, shows they cut corners on the materials for the bracket. I would replace with a Shurflo or Flo Jet. These have been around for over 35 years. Your type pump, is a standard in the RV industry in mount and connections. You just have to research and see what GPH and cost you want to spend. Doug
