Water Pump

[airduds]

Makes a high-pitched noise but nothing at all like it normally sounds except maybe for the instant right before it normally shuts off. Not pumping at all so I assume it's seized.

Is the pump rebuildable? Does it make sense to even try or should I resign myself to a replacement?

Thanks,

Many parts are replaceable on the pump, me, I am too lazy, and have a lack of tools, so I opted just to fork out the $100 for a new one. If I had had the time I would have shopped around and probably gotten it cheaper, but we were on the road and since we dry camp 99% of the time not having a pump was not optional.

Besides removing & replacing 4 screws and two hose connections was easier than tearing the pump apart to fix the problems it was having--leaking, not shutting off and finally not running at all--and hoping it would work after the time and money invested.

Get a new one then strip the old one down and fix it as a spare!
