Need advice on uninstall /install on S.S.

What kind of pump? In a lot of cases you can get a new pump/motor for not a lot more than repairing an old one.

GinSan 1hp booster pump, located at bottom of R/O system. $800+ from GinSan, or Kleen-Rite.

There's no such thing as a GinSan pump. They just stick their label on it.

Can you provide a link to the Kleen-Rite version?

Are you certain it's bad? The long centrifugal pumps need to be fully primed.

Kleen-Rite: part # HP10E

Weird, but ph is not letting me. Copy/Paste , or link right now.

Pump leaked water profusely. We pulled off the front canister, & there was rust like crazy. Part of the cast iron had broke off, & seal was rotten.

Since it's so rusted and broken, you'll end up spending almost as much fixing it as you will replacing, unless you can get your hands on a good pump with a bad motor and make a whole one.

Bought a new booster pump, straight from GinSan, to the tune of $730! Will install it in a couple of days.

I fixed my floJet problem, & looks like all the SS equipment is running well. It has been a LONGGGGGG nightmare. Do NOT buy equipment, that has set up for years, & having not been drained properly. No matter how cheap, how nice & expensive it once was, etc...

I hope it's not that bad for me. I'm about to attempt the same thing...3 bay SS...post 2000 Magic Wand equipment. I'm glad you're up and running now. I'm guessing you must really understand things at your wash a lot more thoroughly after all of that.

I understand things, but not A LOT more. Ha. I've never owned a business, nor really worked on anything. Been pretty overwhelmed with all of it...
