My water pump has died.... at least it does nothing, and no water appears, 12V applied. Sigh.
I see everything from 20 dollar low volume stuff to three figure stuff. Somewhere in the middle I'm sure lies what I want. So far, 35 PSI 2GPM looks reasonable. I can get at it, crawling under a built in bed.

Johnny,

For reference, the PAR 36800 that was OE is supposed to do a little over 3 at 40 psi.

Thanks. I suspect the lower volume will suffice, I don't use the shower - even show venues have locker rooms.

35 psi 2 gallon 30 bucks. I have a small pressure tank kicking around here someplace, if I can find it I'll add it to the outlet. Only complaint listed which was a concern is the barbs have casting lines. I'll pay particular attention to sealing the gozinta and gozouta.

For 12v Water pumps, check 'electronic goldmine.' They always have several listed at great prices.
