Has anyone upgraded the pump on the Grainfather

As the title says really. Has anyone upgraded the pump on their Grainfather. If so, what did you use and where did you source it from? I am planning on pumping directly into my fermenter in the brew fridge so that I don't have to carry a fermenter full of wort and don't think the standard pump will be up to the task as I will have to add an additional few metres of hose.

I pump directly to my FV but I made a very simple trolley that is the same height as the shelf in the fridge. I start with the FV on the trolley, fill it, push it to the fridge and slide it in. No lifting required and the original GF pump is good enough.

Thanks. I've got a trolley too but the FV is in the garage. I have made a ramp but it is not to be trusted with a full Grainfather. I want to avoid carrying a full FV into the garage. I had seen an upgrade on Facebook but it was in Australia and I couldn't source the pump here.
