Oasis pump replacement

[JRS]

My summer loop pump failed and yesterday I installed a US Solar Pumps C1E 12V 20L Circulating Pump (nothing new here). As reported by others, it's not a difficult job. What is new now is all three pumps have the same outlet/inlet positions on newer Newmar Rigs. So, the aforementioned pump is a direct replacement for the Loop 1 and Loop 2 pumps.

Here's a great link on changing the summer loop and zone 2 pumps. He had to use a longer hose to make the above pump work for the zone 2 replacement which is now not an issue on newer rigs.

There are lots of threads on Oasis pump changes which helped me a LOT in recently having to change my summer loop and zone 2 pumps. But one thing I did not understand going in was the hydronic fluid

Here's video on changing the summer loop pump. He used the more expensive OEM pump. While not as useful as the link above, it's worth watching.


Where I purchased the pump. Many have recommended this pump.

The Zone 1 & 2 Replacement Pump is an excellent option for boat owners. It has a seal-less design to prevent leaking.

Like the resource, I didn't see anything about mag drive. Thanks for the response.

Thanks. From what I've read from a poster on another forum, one manufacturer makes the pumps for both ITR/Oasis and US Solar. If that's the case, I looked up the company info, the specs on the pump and they are mag drive and engineered to last 30000 hrs. They did look like the pump I installed the other day. You have to be company to buy direct from them. Sorry I don't recall the name of the company. I believe I received this info on the forum link above.

Add me to the list of pump changers. This will be the third time I’ve had to change the summer loop pump—this one only lasted 11 months with very little use. Pretty frustrating…I haven’t checked the fuse yet, but pretty sure the pump has failed based on my other two times.

Anyway, I ordered two from solar pumps—thanks for the link above. Last year one pump from ITR was $297 including shipping. Solar pumps was $190 for two pumps. Pretty significant difference.
