I been using this pump for with my overflow for about a year now and the pump went out on me yesterday. I needed 1 fast since it going to take about a week if I get it online.

not really sure... Ive looked around for them in the past and wasn't able to find them. I could of swore I saw one somewhere but can't remember where.
I usually order a few at a time whenever I need one. If you need one immediately, let me know and Ill sell you one of my extras.

btw, you can find them cheaper at Marine Depot or Dr's Foster & Smith

As it turn out. I am not in need of 1 as badly as I fist thought.
As long as the line stay under the water then it work fine.

Thank for the thought.

You mean the pump right?

Well the pump itself work just like any other water pump. With 1 end sucking air/water and pump out the other side.
Unlike those bigger pump like maxijet/Mag and so on. this pump work at a lower GPH.

Myself and those that use an CPR Overflow this pump suck out the air left inside the overflow.
Someone else may explain it better then me.
