Getting real world data on water pump failure rates would be the deciding criteria.

That is the NAVY storekeeper in me talking though.
We had a 1997 NuWa Hitchhiker II and never had a problem with the pump except when I forgot the pressure regulator (oops) and the hose clamp leaked on the pump. I think this would be way down on my ‘what if’ list.
