Fits my very old pot!

Installation can be a little tricky and the sealing needs a bit of 'convincing' but it was a lot compared to replacing the whole pot but it's really just a piece of plastic so you pay for availability and service.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some issues

Suitable for bathtub

One size. The fittings are a bit longer than on my old pump. installation difficult. The bellows don't stay rolled sideways, but they still work. Better than buying a new pot. I have used it well for a long time.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Update available

Difficult to Install

This is the second time (in thirty years) that I have replaced the pump on my Thetford Port-a-Potti. This time it proved almost impossible to install the pump correctly. The piece of butyl sealant that came with it was too small. I have some butyl left that I will apply when I have time.

Pros
  • Easy to Install
Cons
  • Running Speed

Flushing bellows Thetford Porta Potti

Easy installation. Just take out the old part and put it in its place. Supplied with gasket around all 3 inlets/outlets. This fits my 30 year old 265. Just make sure and test before you buy as I have found that Walmart is selling the entire kit including the check valve and hoses cheaper with free pickup.

Pros
  • Many positive emotions
Cons
  • No power

I repaired my old Thetford model

Glad Thetford still make them. The original pump failed after more than 15 years of service. I found a youtube video showing how to remove/replace it. Tip: Be sure to clean the tank of old sealant before installing it. Scrape it off, then wipe away any remaining gasoline (Ronsonol lighter fluid) with a paper towel. Also, push firmly and firmly on the top of the plunger so it fits into the container.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

The hat is basic but the flap is a cheap little detail.

This is an exact replacement for air springs. This does NOT come with the all-important purge valve that comes on the original! You need to remove it and connect it to this device. That's easy. However, the valve is a cheap bit that should have been included! Very cheap plastic bellows, no parts just glue. Therefore, it should cost around $7 and still make a nice profit! That's Tedford's plagiarism, but you have no choice. So 2 stars as it works great with my valve and is just the thing to…

Pros
  • So far I am satisfied
Cons
  • I will write later
