Cat 310s or Cat310?

[Robert2181]

I have to replace a cat310 pump, it lasted many years, should it be replaced with a cat310s ?

What's wrong with the one you have now? If the head is washed out have it sleeved with stainless inserts. If you got many years of service from the original pump why not just replace it with the same pump?

head is washed out, has been rebuilt many times. I also need another backup.

Has it been sleeved with stainless steel inserts?

no

You're talking $70 difference. Why not go with the one that will never wash out since you're buying a pump anyway? You'll pay something like $250 plus shipping both ways to get one sleeved.

The Cat 310 pumps have really gone up in price since the last time I had to buy one, $711.38 for the regular pump and $780.94 for the stainless steel head. I think the last time I had to buy a 310 pump it was $495.99. I’ve never had a 310 pump head wash out.

I’ve had four cat 310’s bored and sleeved, they work like a new pump. $180 plus shipping

IDS is the only company I could find that does press in SS sleeving. They sleeved two of my 5CP2150w's 2 years ago for my wash, and so far I haven't had any issues. I will say that getting the high pressure seals into the sleeve is more difficult than it was before, but still doable.

IDS is who resleeved mine. They are in Pennsylvania. Robert is the owner, he is a great guy.
