Maxx 470 air pump is jacked

[alazo1]

There's a ticking noise comming out of the air pump on the tm.

Hydramaster basically is saying to replace due to diaphram going bad....$300.00 part.

I've replaced diaphrams in aquarium pumps..I know this is probably not as simple but can it still be done??

thanks,
Albert

Albert my Maxx air pump went bad too. What does it do? I wonder if we can match the pump # with a auto store.

Jimmy, I ordered one today. Apparantley the pump feeds the cadilac converter and according to Hydramaster you'll loose some heat. Not really sure how that is though. I was unsuccessful in googleing the few numbers I got from the pump.

Any clicking noises on yours?. Post a number if you have any success in finding one somewhere else.

easy to replace, you should about about 20 more degrees of heat and quicker heat recovery after repalcement

On average you will lose about 10% of your heat by bypassing the air pump. It can be done pretty easily but if you do need a new one shoot me a message and I'll see what I can do for you.

Take the pump into a NAPA auto parts store. I had to replace my 405 Performer pump, and NAPA had the replacement, at a much lower price.
A new pump does increase the heat generated.

Do you have the part number for this?

I lost about 20/30 deg. heat when it went bad. I'l try to get the part number off the old pump. Prochem 405 uses the same pump. Lee should be paying attention to this post.

I got mine in today. There is a number for the gear part of it 95010139. There is a sticker on the top that says "Lamanar" (made in Hungary). Can't google anything on it.
