This blog I am posting to help all of my valued customers save big money. How to come up with a Vacuflush suction pump at literally half price. By going into my web site at http://www.marinediscounters.com/ and buying the parts and assembling them yourself(or have us do it for you) the total price of a Vacuflush suction pump is only 383.97. As you already know this pump retails around 750.00.
You will need 1) Sealand Vacuflush Suction pump body P.N. 341504
2) Vacuflush hose nipples P.N. 347800
2) Vacuflush nipple adapters P.N. sea347801
1) Vacuflush vacuum pump o-ring kit P.N.310151
4) Vacuflush duckbill valves
1)Vacuflush W-motor upgrade kit P.N.sea 311423
1)Vacuflush vacuum pump lid P.N. 341506
The only other thing that is needed are some machine screws around the top to hold the top down.
I know this sounds hard but it very easy to assemble. First holding the pump body with the long end to your left install 1 duckbill valve into the pump body facing the direction of the arrow on the body. Next install 1 nipple adapter by screwing it into the body against the duckbill valve. Now install 1 duckbill valve inside of that nipple adapter facing toward the first one and then install 1 hose nipple over that. On the right side, install 1 duckbill valve into 1 nipple adapter from the threaded end so the duck bill is pointing right(all duckbills must point the same way). Screw that adapter into the pump body on the right side. Now install the last duckbill into the last hose nipple and screw that nipple into the adapter. You are 1/2 way done.
Now, set the body on the table and get your o-ring kit and w-motor upgrade kit. The large square o-ring goes in the slot around the top of the body. The small round o-ring goes in the slot around the inside of the bellows on the w-motor upgrade kit. Take the 2 black 1/2 rings and posiotion them across from each other, flat side up around the neck of the bellows. They will fit into a groove made for them on the bellows. Squeeze them together tightly against the bellows so that the 2 ends almost touch. Now set that entire assembly into the pump body. It will not go down into the pump body perposely. Kock it to the side slightly and use a rubber mallat or brass hammer to TAP the high side down into the body. Now you may TAP all the around untill the top of the 1/2 rings are flush with the top of the pump body. Now, grease the small o-ring in the center of the bellows. Take the vacuum pump top, and set it over top of the bellows arm so that the neck of the top touches the o-ring in the bellows. Kock the top slightly and tap the high side so that the top seats flat on the pump body. Look through the top of the pump and make sure that the o-ring is still in the proper postion. Now install the (self supplied) machine screws in the holes around the top and attach the motor to the housing with the excentric going through the center of the bellows. You have done it and it takes less than half an hour to save hundreds of dollars.
Feel free to call us at 419-625-0605 for free advise as always. I will be putting a seperate part number(MD001) on the web site that will encompass all the parts needed to build your half price suction pump. For those of you who wish to have it assembled professionally the price will be 452.72 (1 hr labor added). This still an unbelievable way for you to either upgrade to the whisper quiet pump, replace that old pump with the large steel band around it or get a new vacuflush system and save alot of money on this component.
