Today the pump in my my 14 year old Gaggia Classic fell silent during it's fourth continuous tank of descaling. No surprises, the fact it has been going for so many years is a testament to how solid these machines are. Only upon removing the pump did I see it labelled a 1 minute duty cycle; I guess I deserved that.
The pump I have removed is an Invensys 65W which doesn't seem to be easily attainable (some stock in UK), so I'm looking at the Fluid-o-tech 1106 70W or the Ulka EX5 45W. I'm leaning towards the 1106 just based upon the wattage and how sturdy it looks in photos. Does anyone have experience with any of these three pumps and their interchangeability?
