new headhunter water pump

[encantotom]

hi all,

the headhunter aquajet 110v water pump was shot. i found a new headhunter mach5 pump from a surplus dealer for $375. i had to replump and remount the mach5 because it had a different configuration. i used pex sharkbite fittings so i didnt have to buy a crimper for the standard pex fittings. a plumber buddy of mine had some blue 1" pex i used for the inlet.

i had to mount the pump a little sideways to get it to fit. the nice thing about the sharkbite fittings is you can quick release them if needed.

there is a water valve controlled by a solenoid that is disconnected going into the water tank. i need to see what that is and get it replaced.

it turned out quite nice.

a few pictures below.
