I'm looking for a replacement for the water feed pump on our little
boat. The 'standard' marine ones from Jabsco are a ridiculous price
as are the spares for the worn out one that I have so I'm looking
for
alternatives.

A replacement pressure switch (all I *actually* need is the spring
contacts) for my Jabsco pump is more than £30. All their spares are
silly prices, even paper gaskets cost tens of pounds.

So, as I said, I'm looking for alternatives. The difficult part is
finding a pump that doesn't deliver *too much* pressure. It's easy
to
find pumps that deliver 60 to 100 psi but this is too much for the
bendy plastic pipe plumbing. I need a pump that delivers around 10
to
15 litres/minute at 15 to 25 psi (that's 1 to 1.5 Bar).

As I said it's easy to find pumps that deliver 60psi or more and
cost
only £10 to £15 but all the lower pressure ones cost £60 or more.
Maybe I'll have to spend that much but I'd prefer not to
(surprise!).

Alternatively a pressure switch that operates in the 1 to 2 Bar
range
would solve my problem, I could use it with the existing pump (and a
big fat automative relay to handle the current if necessary).


Like eBay ^M152357653049 ?

Well, yes, apart from the £42 postage whch takes the price back up to
£66.


For a complete new matched pump & pressure switch.

You could always Google for a better price yourself rather than
expect others to?

I have been for the last day or so. I can find pumps from various UK
suppliers and manufacturers around the same £66 price but nothing
cheaper. If they can be sold in the USA for £25 or why not here?

Because you lot have decided to BRexit and have to be punished for doing
that...
