Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
If your existing small vacuum pump is in reasonable condition, repair or servicing may still be the most economical option.
Replacement may make more sense if the pump is badly worn, repeatedly failing, losing vacuum, producing excessive oil mist, overheating, becoming noisy or if spare parts are becoming difficult to obtain.
We can help compare the options and advise whether your best route is repair, refurbishment, a direct replacement or a new DVP LC20.
