Review on Thetford 70475 Impeller With Gasket by Marfel Fekete

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect replacement for a VERY worn part - if you're on the fence - do it

It's not an easy task but wow we didn't enjoy how long our dump took so we went decided to finally replace it impeller. The old one didn't exist - only the plastic part remained inside - and a lot of hair on the metal air intake fins. difference between day and night. What used to take 45 minutes (we have huge tanks) now takes 5-10 minutes, it's like a water hose rushing out. I've compared the markings on the parts I've received and they match SHURFLO 9457100 100% - the price on Amazon is about the same between the two, but both seem to go on sale or sold out at different times so consider cross-buying if necessary. I'll add one of these as a fallback as I know how much of a difference it makes now. The manufacturer suggests a replacement after 2 years - I understand why - the entire impeller is made of relatively soft rubber - it wears out quickly in the environment it is in. Gray water nearby - you need to drain the chopper inlet and outlet hoses. Be careful with the pump nuts and bolts to avoid losing them. The kit I received included a large flat gasket but no external o-ring - I reused an existing one but it would be nice to have one to replace. Also. The rest of the R&R parts are solid parts that don't wear out.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Weight
