Ace RTS jet pump, replace parts or buy new?

[rmyer]

Water Ace rts5 jet pump not working well. Took apart and diffuser is cracked. Are there replacement kits available for this pump? (This water ace seems to be junk.) I am also willing to buy a better quality pump but would like some recommendations on a quality brand. Any thoughts or ideas would be very much appreciated.

I doubt you will find that part. They are more expensive but you would be better off with a Goulds J5S or a J5SH.

Thanks valveman. Is there much difference between the two pumps? I draw water from a lake for our camp. Only use pump on a seasonal basis and disconnect it in late fall.
