Diaphram Pump

I recently purchased a Jabsco Model 31801-1305 diapram pump. It worked great for moving my bio around. Lately it is almost impossible to prime and pumps slow. I suspect it has nitrile diaphram and valves in it. The parts breakdown shows there is vitron parts available for it but I have been unable to contact any suppliers for it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Don
I got into their catalog but didn't have any luck with viton so I'll call and see if they're available.

Well..so much for that plan. I can't replace the diaphram and valves on that pump (Jabsco 31801-1305) with oil resistant. Hell, I can't even replace them with OEM. I guess Jabsco doesn't manufacture that model any more. What a waste of money that was.
