Title: Help Identifying the Head

HELP!!!

Does anyone know the model of head installed on a 1988 model???

I thought it was a wilcox crittenden...wrong, then maybe a raritan...wrong. I talked to Compac and they though maybe a Groco, but several peices from the scematic do not add up. Any ideas would help. I am in need of a few parts and a rebuild kit and have not had any luck so far. I believe it is the original.

Thanks,
Chad

Hi Chad. You've named almost all of them. How about Jabsco? Maybe try going to Defender's website and compare:

If it's and old original head, it might be better to just replace it? No sense in rebuilding a 20 year old $100 head.

Thanks for the link. I had checked it out already. To my knowledge all of the Jabscos have the pump mounted at an angle where mine is vertical.

I am starting to lean toward a replacement just because I am having so much trouble figuring out what I have. The frustrating issue is it flushes just fine, it is only the water intake portion that is not working due to a couple of disintegrated parts.

And yes YUCK!

I agree with kchunk, go new. A rebuild kit is nearly the cost of a new head.
