Water pump replacement recommendation

I currently have a Surflow 4008-101-A65 and it has begun to make a lot of noise when pumping. I do have an accumulator tank and have tried removing it but get the same noise. I have checked the mounts but I just think it is failing. We have very low water requirements mostly just dish washing. I was looking at the seaflow 42 variable pump but was looking for other recommendations. I think I want a variable flow because of such low water demands to reduce cycling?

Thanks for any info.

1. Download the manual for your pump and accumulator tank
2. Check the bladder pressure in the accumulator tank
3. You can buy a rebuild kit for your pump - if the motor runs, why replace the pump (but my pockets may not be as deep as yours are).

Sometimes the latest and greatest innovations don’t provide the intended result.

You have a great pump, maybe the best. Run it with the pressure tank, that is what keeps it from cycling. There are parts for it also

It probably is failing. My 2 year old 4008 is so quiet I can barely hear it, and it's mounted to the thin wood pedestal under my bed. I don't have a tank BTW.
