Shurflo 200-220-39 replacement or repair

I have a Shurflo 200-220-39 in my 84' Komfort 22T. It is my training trailer to see if I like RV-ing. I am slowly fixing it up and just took it out for a trial run 30 mins from home. While working in one of the storage bins I noticed a wet spot under the water pump. When the pump is turned on or off a brief gurgle of water comes out of the diaphragm housing causing the wet spot.

Is this repairable? If so where would I find parts? Internet search for the model number didn't turn up anything.

Also, if I end up having to replace the pump, what should I look for in a replacement or upgrade pump? Is the Shurflo 2088-422-44 a good replacement with 2.8 GPM for the flow rate?

Thanks in advance.

    My guess would be the failure of the small diaphragm between the pump housing and the pressure switch has failed. I don't you're going to find parts for that series of pump.

    The 2.8 gpm pump should be fine.

    Your current pump (200 Series) was discontinued a few years ago.....finding any parts will be difficult.

    The 2088 is the replacement pump. BUT it also has been discontinued. Lots of pumps still available and replacement/repairs parts aftermarket.

    The replacement for the 2088 series is the 4008 Series. 3.0 gpm/55 psi

    Wow Old-Biscuit!!! thanks for the info, I really do appreciate it. I have found a "like new" 2088 pump on Craigslist. I should compare that to the 4008 for price so maybe I will want to go for the newer one. If this was a newer trailer I wouldn't be so worried about how much I put into it, but since it is older, the resale value won't be much when I do decide if I want to upgrade to a newer/better trailer. I do expect to upgrade some day.

    If you have a website where you find the equivalent pumps as you mentioned, I would love to know what that is.

    Thanks again.

    Ribeye, I kind of go with the guys here that believe, fix the one you're using now so that is working really good for you and so you don't have as many worries, don't cut corners because you will someday down the line replace it. I've been trying to trade mine off and get a newer one for several years and we still have.

    Lots of advantages to getting a new pump... the new ones are anti-siphon, can run dry without damage, are self priming, and have a built-in filter.

    I believe that they also use less power, with the new brush-less motors.

    Just ordered the pump and filter from the site that Old-Biscuit recommended. Had to order today because the sale was ending. I added the inline filter for the hell of it. Thanks to all for the advice.

    Wow, great price! I just paid $35 for a rubber valve part for my pump.

    They were great sale prices. I ended up buying the pump, filter, spare tire mount, and all new marker lights before the sale ended.
