The original unit for sale uses what looks like the Rule 360 gph pump. It is rated for 2.0 amps 24 watts. I bought the Attwood 500 gph Tsunami rated 1.5 amps 18 watts. Other than the bilge pump the rest was laying around from other projects. It all squeezes together for a snug fit. I bought the 20 watt panel from craigslist a few months ago for $20. While I could buy more fittings to make it look like the original I don't see the point, function should be the same, perhaps I'll get more water filtered because of the 500 gph and lower power requirement. Trickiest thing will be panel placement, my yard is extra shady.
