I've got one of those TMC galley foot pumps [from Whitworths cat 68155].
It has developed a leak near the foot lever and I was wondering if anybody has had this problem before?
Is it worth getting a $27 repair kit, or is that a waste of money?
This pump has seen in excess of 6 months continuous use.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Chuck it and get a whale pump. Easily worth the extra money.

Is that the Whale GP1392 one?
Seems it has to be primed, once done do you have to redo [unless you run dry!]?

So has anyone had experience with fixing these foot pumps?

Brought the service kit and replace the diaphragms etc.
Took an hour, all good.

Anyone need help. I now know the tricks to doing a service
