Filter Pump Additional Notes

The filter pump is in damaged condition. The motor is in good condition, however the filter pump body appears to have a split in the upper return side of its body. Recommend replacement of this body section ($450) or repair the return fitting ($155) as I feel it may be just the return fitting. I do feel 90% positive that it is the whole pump body that will need replacement.
