The PO of Pau Hana had a Jabsco electric marine head installed. I have never really liked it since it sounds like a screaming Banshee when it's used. Today we noticed a bit of leakage at the base of the electric pump and while I could probably get a repair kit or buy a new one, I think I would like to re-convert this electric head back to a manual head.
Has anybody done this before? I'm thinking that I may be able to buy the manual pump and simply replace with the electric and pull back the wires that are running to feed the current pump.
Or... should I bite the bullet and rep[lace the entire head. Any thought or ideas greatly appreciated as always. :abd:
Kevin,
You have basically three choices, given your background of wanting to go manual.
1. Replace pump assembly with a manual Jabsco - not top of the line
2. Replace pump assembly and base with a Raritan LBA pump and reuse your old bowl
3. Buy a Raritan PHII. PHII Installation with Photos http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,3797.msg45617.html#msg45617
If not, you could get a"better" electric head, which IIRC is also made by Raritan.
