Whisper Power Piccolo 5 spares

[Ian_Edwards]

Dose anyone the generic equivalent for the Piccolo 5 raw water impeller part number 40409013 and O ring 40409012 ?
The dealers want £50+ for the impeller and about £10 for the O ring.
I'm sure that Whisper Power don't make either part, so there should be generic equivalents available, at much lower prices.
I could take the old ones out, but they are very difficult to access, and I'd prefer to do a swap, old for new, rather than struggle twice.

Th oring just take to a mechanical suppliers and end up with a bag full for 10 quid. measure the impeller od/id shaft type and somebody might tell you an equivalent .

Yes, I know I can do that, it's a face plate seal, not shaft seal, and more importantly, I have to hang upside down, by about 1m to take out 4 small bolts, and then leaver out the impeller with 2 screw drivers. Not something I want to do more often than I have to.
If I have to, I'll buy a set of the expensive official parts, and try and second source them, from there.
I'm hoping that someone else will have been through that exercise, and is willing to share the info '

Or buy an impeller extraction tool ! Good luck with your search.
