Where to buy replacement airpump diaphragm?
Noticed my big boy air pump becoming weak recently. Opened up to find the 2 rubber diaphragms have cracked. Anyone knows where to buy replacements?
I last saw them at C328 many years ago. I asked auntie recently, she just stare and blinked at me, mumbled something and then carried on with her work. |

This is always a problem for multiple outlet pumps, as after sometime some will break faster than the others and don't know to throw away the whole pump. Always go for hiblow or simply use those 1 to 2 outlets pumps, breaks and throw.
Replacement diaphram even identical look also not easy and usually cannot last, and sometime resulting in noisy pump if not done well. The defunct Aquastar used to have many of different sizes to choose from, not sure now polyart has. You can check with them. |

Thanks for the replies. I will pop by and try polyart. i remember the diaphragm was maybe a dollar apiece. kind of waste to throw a working $20 pump when you know its a cheap easy fix.

I think it would be best to invest in a reliable aur pump like hiblow which would last.

polyart might have, or some neighborhood market LFS also should have..
thought C328 have them.. like what others suggest, to be on the safe side, bring the spoil one there to compare . another way is to sell/give away the current one away and close one eye buy a hiblow baby... think that will save more money. |
