dismantled for cleaning and repair. From my own experience and from
what I have heard from other owners of this useful little pump, there
are two components that are most likely to fail after several years of
use. These are the drive spring that connects the motor to the pump
and the shaft seal that prevents leakage from the pump into the motor.

If, like me, you are in need of one of these spares, I have some good
news!

Alex has advised me that Vigo has them in stock. They are listed as
follows:

Item code 21009 Spring Europump drive. Price £1.91
Item code 72249 Seal shaft 5 x 15 x 6m double lip R23 (Europump).
Price £3.25

Clear step by step instructions for replacing these items are also
supplied.

Happy pumping!
Rose
