Time to order a new raw-water pump impeller for my MX25 in preparation for spring. I might also amass a few spare parts while I'm at it (O-rings, cover plate screws, retainer ring, etc). I have an Oberdorfer N202M-15 pump. It has an O-ring faceplate seal rather than the old paper gasket. I found the following online:
Factory Impleller = Oberdorfer part #6593 = Universal part #295628. Prices range $35-65 for just the impeller, but occasionally a vendor will include the O-ring, too.
I was wondering if anyone has tried Globe Run-Dry Impellers. Defender shows the Globe #815 as a replacement for the Ober. #6593. They claim it will run dry for 15 min and last 2-3 times longer than the factory part. I always have my doubts about cheaper parts ($21) that claim to be better. By appearance, the hub/drive portion of the Globe appears thinner/less-substantial than the original, and looks like it might be plastic rather than metal.
Also, does anyone know if Jabsco offers a replacement for the Ober. #6593? Their parts seem to have a reputation for quality.
I found these previous EYO links, but no specifics Globe or Jabsco replacement parts:
Also, the Defender Link: http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|51|2234245|2234249&id=591852
Thanks,
