Where possible, replace any 'O' rings/seals with silicone versions which will last much longer.
Paul Pratt recommends using them instead of other materials such as Viton or Nitrile.

Parts.
I may still rebuild the pump, trying to track down the noise. Cafeparts had them all in one place! And I could bring a few things like a hose down, etc to track down the few odds and ends I was missing from this list. Not bad really. Every seal /rubber/copper was replaced. Added a new water line and drain hose.

Thanks, yes, i replaced the oring! Beat a new valve. Astoria has the separate valves and they have the new combined valve. The combine would have required pipe changes. So I went with the o ring. Put the valve in backwards the first time . Figured it out before I turned it up.
Lots of whack a mole on leaks but that was expected, forgot to tighten a few things. Top of the sight glass dropped out of its fitting, all in all a good time. I did forget to tighten the vacuum cap, was leaking through the threads.
