Replacement Volute for BlueLine 20HD Water Pump

I use the Blueline HD20 to add water to my 55 gl tank. Much better than hauling 5 gl jugs around.<br>On one top-off occasion, I yanked on my 35 ft hose just a little too hard. This along with the weight of the<br>hose proved too much for the existing volute. The force ripped the volute in half, right at the MHT threading. <br>The replacement volute was simple to replace, six screws and a little elbow grease. The job was done in 5 minutes.<br>There was minor leakage at first. While leaving the pump running, I manually tightened her down until the leakage ceased.<br>I have since fashioned a hose stress relief at the union where the hose is attached at its holder. I still yank the thing occasionally, but no longer at a price that is a 4th of the cost to replace it.<br>
