Default ^^^^^All of a sudden they're popping up everywhere^^^^^

If they're good, I guess I paid about $100.00 too much. Oh well.... (shrugs shoulders and throws hands up in air)

Default ^^Just be careful^^ See if you can get them to send pics of bottom

I ordered one off an Ebay listing from the UK awhile back-- the part number matched up, but when it came it was the dreaded "Single input, No output on-the-bottom pump".

The part number was right, but the pump had the white plastic housing ends and seemed to be a knock-off, not the true Siemens.

Default NO NAME Pump

I exchanged emails with this guy, TopSolution, asked specifically for the manufacturer's name, he replied with "Quality aftermarket supplier"
What does that mean? For my money, it means no thanks. I do not want to do the job twice.

Default One assumes since it replaces that specific PN, it has the outlet...

It's more of a concern for quality IMO. An incompatible part would probably have a wider compatibility chart, if you get my meaning.

*edit* What I reckon is that the aftermarket import part makers have gotten around to copying this particular pump, probably just the bottom section and not a huge deal. Parts manufacturers are getting bored and going farther afield these days.

Default If a knockoff is available, probably not long before a USA vendor stocks up and sells them.

I'll think about just waiting vs. getting one while I'm in the UK.
