Which Rocket Espresso machines is this pump listed for?
The listed models are Boxer, Boxer 2014, Doppia, R8, R9, RE-A, RE-DOPPIA, RE-S, RE-TIMER, RE A 2014, and RE A 2016. Check your exact machine version and its parts information before ordering. A model name alone does not confirm fit for every version.
Who makes this pump, and which part reference should I check?
This is a Fluid-O-Tech PA104 rotary vane pump listed for Rocket Espresso under part reference M229904780. Compare both the model and part reference with your original pump or machine's parts information, along with the connections and mounting arrangement.
Does the 100 L/h rating mean brewing pressure?
No. 100 L/h is the pump's stated water flow capacity, not its brewing pressure or the amount of water used for each coffee. Match this rating to the pump required by your machine rather than choosing a higher flow capacity as an upgrade.
What connections and materials does the PA104 pump have?
The pump has 3/8-inch GAS/BSP threaded connections, a brass body, and rubber gaskets. It is made in Italy and is listed as NSF certified. Check the fittings, mounting arrangement, and available space against your existing unit before ordering.
Will replacing the pump solve low pressure or poor water flow?
A correctly matched replacement can help restore normal water delivery if the existing pump is worn or faulty. It is not a guaranteed fix for every pressure or flow problem. We recommend having the cause checked before replacing the pump.
Can I fit this pump myself?
We recommend installation by an espresso machine technician. They can confirm that the PA104 and M229904780 reference match your machine, check the connections and mounting, and test the machine after fitting. A similar-looking pump is not necessarily interchangeable.
What is included with the replacement pump?
You receive one replacement rotary pump. The description does not specify a motor, hoses, clamps, or additional fittings as included. Check with your technician which installation parts are needed before ordering.
