BILGE WATER PUMP #replacement

VICTOR MOLERO
 

Hello all.
My old AMFA bilge water pump broke the membrane and I haven't been able to find a replacement. Can anyone recomend where to find them? In case I don't, I will have to buy a new pump (which may not be a bad idea considering the age of the old one), so is there a brand and model that you recomend? I've seen Vetus, Jabsco, Johnson, but I really don't know which will be better or if there's any real difference between them... How many littres per minute do you recommend? Any other consideration that I should be aware of before buying the new pump?
Thanks in advance.

Hello

For 6 years ago I replaced the membrane by a VITON membrane (Viton is a wonderful material) .

You  can buy if all round the world .... many shops for industrial hydraulic can cut it (I do that by myself)...

no problem after 6 years ... it's better than the original

Hi Victor,

Our AMFA pump fell to bits years ago
I replaced it with a Johnson Viking 32 pump


The pumps and spare parts are available everywhere.
It is a very good pump.

Cheers

Hi,

I have been able to get the replacement rubber parts as well as the gear wheel from Maud at AMEL.

They were in stock last fall. Most of the pumps on board are not my favorite, however this large diaphragm pump will pump anything that will fit in the hose without jamming. I plan on keeping this one running as long as possible.

As Alan Leslie mentioned the Johnson Viking 32, we have also replaced the original AMFA pump with a Johnson Viking. It is well-built, extremely easy to maintain, has a higher output than the original pump, and a handcrank in case the power or motor fails. I could not find anything wrong with with this pump with the Johnson Viking. I could not find anything wrong with this pump since we have had it installed.

Hi Giovanni
Sorry, I can’t find any photos of the installation.

I’ll keep looking.

But basically the mounting holes are not the same as the AMFA pump, so I used a nylon chopping board like you have in the galley.

Drilled holes to match the AMFA mounts and holes to match the Viking mounts.

Bolted the Viking pump to the board and then mounted the whole thing on the AMFA mounts and bolted it up.

Simple.
Cheers

Hi Giovanni,

Another option you may consider is the TF Marine bilge pump we purchased from TF Marine in May last year. TF Marine has now been taken over by Gianeschi.

I have attached photos of the pump.
