The wonderfully named Cak Tanks are the biggest supplier of tanks and will have pumps too.

Tank or pump? :)

Measure all dimensions of the tank and note the location of the in, out and drain pipes and then see what CAK can match on their database. I would say there's probably a 90% they would have the exact model in stock. With regard the pump, most caravanning suppliers will be able to sell you a replacement.

Hi, would you mind sharing the reason for the replacement tank and pipes - is it algae?

Just replaced pump and tap on my system. No algae problem, controlling that is just following hygine. They are cheap not very good quality components which have a limited life. I might have got away with just a tap, but was given a spare pump and replaced it as they get furred up from being submerged.

hi

Only recently bought my bongo and have found that the exhaust has at some point been touching the water tank and has melted a hole in it!

The inline water pump need changing as it is cracked!

If you have a new system and clean it at regular intervals from the start you may never get any problems, however I also use an external tank for dishwashing etc and carry two bottles of drinking water in my fridge.

Has anyone ever used the Floe system in a Bongo or motorhome to remove all the water from the vehicle when it is not in use? I am interested in fitting this system in my new motorhome to prevent the water from becoming stagnant and contaminated during periods when it is not in use. I already have one of Halford's Portable Power Packs to provide the air pressure required.
