I was told by a former senior executive of my manufacturer who is now working in a related field but not for a direct competitor (so no incentive to steer me toward his new direction) that the (high pressure) pumps were manufactured for the US military (I don't remember the application, but I don't think it was water makers) but that the US military no longer requires these pumps so they are no longer manufactured by anyone.

As it is, I intend to investigate the cost of either replacement of both units with ones like Kevin's that are 100% generic parts, or the salvage of as much of my system as can be made operable with generic replacements for everything else. I am skeptical that I will be able to use the "brains" of my current systems in that context, however.
