Well....my friend suggested that I price out a Jabsco rebuild kit.
He's had good luck with that procedure. I'm going to price out both
options and think about it. If a rebuild could last two to three
years, then it may be more cost effective.

It won't be...odds are about 100-1 that something that isn't in the kit
will fail or break within a year. 10-15 years ago, Jabsco build a decent
quality toilet for the money...many that age are still in service and
working ok. But those made in the last 5-7 years are so flimsy that's
rare for one to last 2 years without a failure....they've become
"disposable" toilets...so disposable that, because the rebuild kit costs
almost as much as a new pump, I know people who don't bother to rebuild,
they just replace the pump every year as "preventive maintenance." That
makes NO sense to me..'cuz in 5 years, they've spent close to $500 to
keep a $100 toilet working...when for about half that much, they could
have a trouble-free reliable toilet that'll last 20-25 years if you just
keep it well lubricated and rebuild it every 5-6 years.

If $225 is a bit more than you want to spend, go with a Groco HF. It's
not as durable as a PH II, but you should get at least 5-7 trouble-free
years from it.
