Time to replace pumps?

[gpd005]

My 2009 Moomba XLV has the Gravity 3 system with the upgraded 1100# sacs. My pumps are starting to act up and I'm sure they are just wore out. I've replaced the impellers and two of them still refuse to pump. I was looking on EBay at these. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=121094097146 Has anyone ever tried them? They are about a third of the cost but that doesn't do any good if they don't work worth a dang anyway. Thanks for any feedback!

don't know much about those on ebay but they are only 300gpm where the Johnson pumps are rated at 720gpm. That is more than 2x faster fill times and for 1100 bags that is something to keep in mind. Personally i would rather spend more and get something that is reliable and tested even if it means spending more $. Buy from wakemakers and you will get 10% off so that will help as well.

Is there a code to use on wakemakers for the discount? I have ordered a few things from them and didn't realize this.

I can't remember what it is but just add a post that asks for the code someone can pm it to you. last time i was talking to them on the phone I just told them I was with the Moomba forum and wanted the 10% off and they just gave it to me.
