Microphor compressor needed
Interesting that yours is different. The one I've
photographed does a great job and is the model BB has used in a dozen or so coaches I've seen. Go figure.

Curt & John, you are both correct. The pump itself is the Thomas 405ADC38/12 (I peeled off the Microphor label to get to the Thomas label) and I have found that Grainger has them for $189. The Microphor Model 5000 is the pump with 4.5 gal pancake tank and control circuitry. Although I would like to just get the seals (and still looking), it seems my tank has some rust or something ratting around in the tank that makes me want to replace the tank as well. Still looking for a better deal, but will have to do something soon as I need to flush the toilet in a few days Also, the replumbing is on the list as soon as I get an auxilliary compressor installed. I have one of the few sold without the compressor, but all the wiring, switches etc are there, just hate spending $800 for the Gast compressor. Paul 97wb43 |

Thomas compressor would not sell me any a year or so ago - said the complete unit was considered "disposable" and it wasn't economically feasible for them to sell the Teflon replacement cups. Hopefully they have a change of heart some day. > it > seems my tank has some rust or something ratting > around in the tank > that makes me want to replace the tank as well. If the tank isn't leaking, why not simply clean internally with a rust inhibitor, or volatile solvent? > Still looking for a better deal, but will have to do > something soon as > I need to flush the toilet in a few days Good luck, but I could not find any below 200 plus shipping, over a year ago. > Also, the replumbing is on the list as soon as I get > an auxilliary > compressor installed.
