Ignore the idiotic comments To the best of my knowledge you haven't offended anybody ...... but if you did then they probably deserved it Don't worry about it, it's not that kind of forum If you're prepared to put up with the possibility of failures/short lifespan then by all means go for the cheap option ..... you never know, you might be lucky and it will last for years. To a certain extent it's as with anything ..... you pays your money and takes your chance

I admit I am numpty but I just can't see why it needs a £140 pump to a few LTRs of water twice a day. Well there is your problem - twice a day! - you are not cut out for boating. that's once each for 2 people.....

that should be two a week (or two a month if you are a really dedicated soap dodger) (Have you asked yourself why Jim Riley's pump has lasted as long)

whale gulper is the waste pump of choice for most people ..... they are not the cheapest but seem to be by far and away the most reliable pump for the job. they are not worried by hair etc. Not affected by the dreaded clock springs gumming up the works either 🤢

Jabsco puppy (rubber impeller type) pumps are ok for showers I have them on two of my boats they are reliable units. "One of my pumps sticks sometimes. it's a Jabsco puppy and I'm sure it's the commutator but normally a thump with a piece of wood works." Fair point maybe I should have said they are durable rather than reliable. I don't do showers particularly regularly so the pumps have an opportunity to seize up over time. I believe that if used regularly these pumps are ideal for the purpose of draining a shower tray in a boat. However if I was choosing a new pump I would go for the whale gulper. One good thing about the Jabsco puppy pumps is that they make a barking noise once air gets into the system. It's quite loud and reminds you to turn it off. The whale gulper pumps are quiet and effective but prone to being left switched on.

Again you are the one that has to decide if it is worth the time/aggro all the best

If at first you don't suceed, use a bigger hammer. First rule of Brummagem engineering.
