Which water pump to buy

[DesertRat]

The big bucks OEM water pump in my Voltage started to leak this past weekend. Yes it's under warranty & saw the same one for just over $47.00. I'm looking for something just a little better. My picks are Flojet or Shurflo.
So which one would you recommend.?

Having used both brands for many years both of them are equal to me. I replaced the OEM pump with this one http://www.amazon.com/SHURflo-4008-1...r+pump+shurflo
Look around for the best price of course.

That's the one I'm leaning toward. $62.50 on eBay with free shipping plus I have $49.50 in ebay bucks

I went with the shureflo. Good choice.

I have to replace my water pump as well - apparently didn't get it drained fully when winterizing. There was ice in inlet and outlet side when I went to work on it this this past weekend. Ran hot water through to thaw out, hooked it back up and pump will not stop running - with all faucets off and no leaks anywhere I can find. Thinking the diaphragm may be damaged or an airleak somewhere.
All said, we will be out of town for the next two weeks and following week need to use the RV so I will just order a new pump to have and replace when we arrive at destination if need be. I looked at both the Flojet and Shurflo models and like what I read about the Shurflo best.
Question is what about the Artis Power Drive model? That is the pump that came with the RV and has worked well to our satisfaction.
Is the Shurflo just a better pump?
Has anyone had any trouble with the OE Artis Power Drive pump as either OE or replacement?
Had I done a better job winterizing - I would not be looking to replace the Artis OE we currently have.
Both the Shurflo 4008-101-E65 3.0 Revolution & the ARTIS 3.0 GPM - PDS1RV25 Series 1 models are comparably priced with similar ratings (eBay and Amazon).
Thanks

I had to replace because the OEM pump started to leak where it,s screwed together. Never had it any were that it got frozen. I installed the Shurflo 4008 & first thing I noticed was it,s way more quite then the OEM pump. Also has more pressure, as it's rated same GPM but 40 psi compared to 50 psi for the Shurflo.
