Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie: Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you  grave for me: Here he lies where he longd to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.

With a hacksaw and appropriately sized threading die, you can easily make replacement rods with brass rod purchased locally. Stainless steel rod can also be used. I've done both without any long term detrimental effects. I believe that the tie rod in your unit is 1/4 inch.

This is partly caused by a check valve in the line which I use to prevent pump cycling (until the batteries die) (yes I agree they can not be used in lieu of a discharge loop). To remedy the air lock I drilled a very small hole (1/8") in the output flange not covered by the hose. I'm happy with this set up.
