Hey guys,
I have a crack down the intake on my electric pump. I believe it's just the housing that is cracked. Is there an epoxy or something comparable that I could repair it with? Or is it time to replace?
Thanks fellas.

Replace. Did you over tighten it?

I'm not much for patching equipment that I depend on for my income.....Replace.

I agree,..replace it....
With that said,...nothing wrong with trying to patch it to see what it gets you,...can't hurt none,..a few bucks for some epoxy or something. Use it for transfer and see how long it lasts.

I patched one for transfer, super glue and gauze pads.

you can get a new head for 37.50. They sell all the parts separately. I fix everything that can be fixed economically. I always use a new pump, but keep spares for backup and transfer.
