I view pumps as consumables (residential use) but I keep the motors as they can be good for other things.

Strangely enough I just ordered the very same Jabsco pump today as I think the pressure switch is starting to fail on mine. When I fit it I will strip the old one down and see if it is repairable, if so I'll let you know. It can't be very sensibly installed though if it cost £80 to have it fitted as I've got that down as a five-minute job on mine.

And absolutely no need for an electric drill or numerous useless attachments 👍🍻🚢🔨 |

Is it possible to fit an external pressure switch and bypass the wiring in the internal one?

Pressure switch is £20, it's the assembly marked (1) in this diagram, don't imagine it will be too difficult to replace. I'll let you know how I get on when I replace mine.  |

Just swapped my pump over and had a look at the old one. The pressure switch is a piece of piss to replace, undo the crosshead screw that holds the blue hexagonal cover on, then the two crosshead screws on either side of the switch and it will come away. If you push on the rear of it you can feel the switch button going in and out, and it will click as it activates, just doing this a few times might free up a sticky switch. If not, just disconnect the two wires, replace the switch, put the wires back on and re-assemble. You might also want to play about with the adjustment screw, which is the centre screw beneath the blue cover. Really, I should have had a go at this before buying a new pump myself, but at least I do now have a spare. Here's the pump as removed. One crosshead screw holds the blue cover on. Remove this.  With the blue cover removed. The central screw is the adjustment screw, probably worth having a play around with this if the pump is playing up. If no joy, remove the switch by undoing the two outer screws.  The tip of my screwdriver is on the pressure button, push this in with your finger and it will click as it shuts off. If you need to replace it, you can see it's a fairly minor job.  |
