Miss B Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Has anyone had a hydrobath pump replaced? Was it difficult or expensive to have the pump fitted, and was the pump itself expensive? Thanks :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The barfshop pumps are about $350 for a replacement - I'm not sure if you can use these pumps on other brands, but I've always found those guys great to deal with and I'll be getting my hydrobath from them. I'm not sure how much it costs to have it fitted though. Maybe drop them an email and ask them if they know anyone who can fit it for you or if you need someone to fit it.

Miss B Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks Shell :rolleyes: Davey Pumps has quoted me $450 for the pump itself, but Mavlab (who manufacture the bath, which is a Conmurra) sell the same pump for $295. They've quoted $200 in labour for their electrician to fit it. Having said that, my Dad is friends with a sparky who lives next door to him, so I think I might get in touch and see if it's something he could do.

~*Shell*~ Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm so very very jealous of you right now! I want my hydrobath now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We had a pool shop replace our pump many years ago, I dont recall the cost, but they installed all this new piping so that it was easier to remove the pump in the future. No problems since, just the heater keeps karking it, so gave up on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss B Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks Rysup Shell - I don't actually have a bath yet :rolleyes: But I am considering buying one which needs a pump replacement. Just trying to figure out what it's going to cost me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~JessyBee~ Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We just replaced our old pump with a brand new Davey. The pump cost us $360 and OH is installing it himself. The biggest issue we have had is with a suction leak (i.e air - not water...) I have been telling OH that is probably what it was..... didn't listen to me until he exhausted all other possibilities! He should know by now I am always right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
