- donn0128Explorer IIGo to your local RV store and buy the one you can aford. Or try amazon.com.
- timmacExplorerJust buy another Shurflo water pump, does not really matter what model, just make sure it has the same connections as yours, the year and model of your RV does not really matter.
- jyrostngExplorertry fixing it, you can't hurt it, it's already broke.

- JimExplorerI fixed my 20 yo Shurflo pump that was leaking around the pump gasket area. Took the entire thing apart. Mostly it just needed a good cleaning. The weird 3 lobe gasket in the pump area was still good, but had gunk on it, cleaned it. The motor needed some work but not bad.
So like jyrostng says...try fixing it. - Old-BiscuitExplorer III2008 model discontinued....parts also several years ago.

Goggle 'Shurfo XXXX' for lowest pricing - wa8yxmExplorer IIIWater pumps have several parameters you need to consider
Inlet and outlet.. Normally 1/2 inch IPT but plastic.. Most all are the same, Optional is a barbed connector but they make adapters that go to 1/2 inch.
Pressure.... When I replaced my 45 PSI I went with a 55 PSI.. Keep it 55 PSI or less
GPM.. I went from 2 to 2.5 when I upgraded
Mounting.. 4 Screws into the wood base,, Need not be identical
POWER.. Ok, so it draws a bit more.. NOTE Water pump controllers come in two types. One is electronic and the higher power may burn it out, Mine is switches.
The moral: Do not worry about "Same part number identical replacement) get one that has at least the GPM capacity and is 55 PSI or less and you will be very happy.. Mine cost me $0.00 after Swag Buck gift cards discount. - crassterExplorer II

Also check ebay. Be sure to buy the BRAND, not Chinese knockoffs - on these pumps, the knockoffs are not worth it. - jyrostngExplorerNOS----NEW old stock
- BigSkyBobExplorerBuy the pump that fits your needs but don't buy a Seaflo pump, Chinese junk,
