[C320-list] Domestic fresh water pump leak

[P.F. Ross]

Hi, Mike,

I replaced a split diaphragm in this pump many years ago.  It was so long
ago that I don't even remember the symptoms of the failure, probably pump
cycling, and I don't recall a leak.

Pretty simple repair and it looks like parts are still available.

Good luck!
