Would never known about different versions, was about to swipe the card for $70 on a new 2088. Tickled to save coin and the old one which was working fine except for the leak.

Hey Van, changed signature? got tired of them talking boulders? You moved away? scared someone will seek you out now? lol

Don the $70 version you buy 2 because 1 is going to stop working

That is the story with the new ones anyway, the old ones had a sterling reputation however. You can tell the difference by the labels. The old ones had a border around the label. They kinda shot themselves in the foot with their move to foreign manufacturing I guess.

Hmm... I thought Flojet and Sureflo were different brands. But then what do I know? Could be the same manufacturer I guess.

Jim - my post was so stupid I removed it. Thanks for being kind. Yes Flojet, not Shurflo. Must be all the ash that's messing my brain. Correcting my pump - It is a Flojet 4406, not s Shurflow. Anyway, got the filter sealed and back in service. Going to work on soundproofing today.

I've heard the Flojets are pretty good too, but I don't know if they fell prey to the same thing the 2088 did. Maybe not? I've heard the more expensive Surflo's hold up pretty well to the old standards but the 2088 just became a cheap pump with poor quality control. They really should fix that if they haven't already.

We've had our 2088 for almost three years now, and so far so good. I did order a spare shortly after installing the pump, but have not had need yet. Paid about $45 for the first one and $69 for the second. The pump I have is 3.5 gpm and 45 psi.

I bought a Shurflo Whisper King 2093-204-413 back in 1996 based on board comments, and it's still going. It's not a current model, and was replaced by another that might very well be Chinese.

We carry a brand new plug & play Shurflo. Will probably never have to change it cause we're carrying a spare...

thats the way it usually goes... Im think of hauling a spare engine and transmission.😊

Jim Blackwood · September 13, 2020, 09:40:11 AM

Maybe tow a spare bus...

Over legal length, but that would do it and I can carry all my tools and equipment, maybe a forklift in rear if I would use an MC-7 Combo with ramps.
