    Is they any way to tear them apart to clean or repair. I have been having issues with mine dropping vacuum and then my overflow box quits. Have already tried to flush it and put in new hoses.

    what brand is it?

    I have a toms aqualifter and I have always had good look cycling vinegar through it when it needs cleaned out. They also sell new diaphragms for them if cleaning doesn't do the job.

    It was a toms, I just got home from an emergency run to a friend's to get one because it quit. But once I found out how cheap they are I'll just buy a new one

    Ya, they are dirt cheap. I keep an extra around just in case.

    They do sell the diaphrams for like 5 bucks or so. I'd get another set of those if you order a pump just to have on hand.
