I just picked up a astra pro espresso machine and the water pump is leaking. Right now it has a fluid o tech water pump like

is that the only option and most durable pump? Or should i get a ulka pump off ebay?

Any help is appreciated.

Then you should post a pic of the machine's internals and indicate where the pump is leaking. More than likely, it is a fitting which simply needs some minor disassembly and resealing.

The FOT pump and the Ulka have different flow characteristics.
