Pumps' Perplexities

Nothing is built to last anymore and therefore it is tough to
find replacement parts for a "throw-away" item.....

Years ago manufacturers would produce a durable product
and maintain a stock of replacements for those parts
which were subject to normal wear....A product would be
discontinued and replacement parts were held in stock for
10 years or more.....No longer.....A huge stock of parts
inventory results in large overhead and reduced corporate
profits......

China will modify a product as soon as the tooling is amortized....
Generic replacement parts are sold in Home Depot and Lowes...
Can't find the right part?....Then by a brand new product.....
The only alternative is to find the guy who goes to the town
dump everyday and make a living by saving olde scrapped
parts......Things are not simple anymore......Pumps
