Shurflo Pressure Pumps

 

 
 

This brand is fitted to all Winnebagos and really is an excellent product. It lets you have a pressurised system - like the mains in your house. Now it isn't perfect as you will get fluctuations but it comes on as soon as you turn on a tap and you can easily get it to just "dribble" for teeth cleaning whilst saving water. We like the rubber mounts supplied as they reduce noise no end. In practice it is not a good move to have a totally silent pump as if you leave the mains on and you run out of water the pump will run continuously.

Manufacturers blurb:- This 12 volt, 2.8 gpm multi fixture demand water pump features a patented pump head that is actually three independent pumping chambers, giving you three way dependability. The unique design has no moving parts travelling more than 3mm (1/8") greatly reducing friction and wear and tear. Will deliver hot or cold fresh water to multiple outlets - galley, shower Etc. Self priming to 3.6 metres. Features waterproof pressure switch with adjustable shut-off 30 to 45 PSI. Thermally protected motor - can run dry without damage. Extra quiet, virtually inaudible in a standard installation. Size 220mm long x 110mm high x 130mm base plate width. For fresh water only. 1/2" BSP male outlets.

Expect to pay around $200.00 from Camec, Carac, Whitworths etc. We have seen them as low as $140.00 on special so it pays to search the Internet.
