I have just finished redoing the interior plumping and when I turned on my pump it pumps water just fine, however it does not shut off. I'm going to call Sur-flow (it is not under warranty) to see if I can repair the pump. If not, any recommendations as to a (moderately) priced replacement? And, the best place to buy. Thanks

While we're on the topic...

I think my pump was a replacement done by a PO when he replaced the
fresh tank and the pressure oscillates when I'm using it rather than a
steady stream.

In boats I've never had that happen. Is there something going on with
my pump or my plumbing?

I have the Sur-Flow accumulator in my coach and I've used them in previous campers, it solves the pulsing problem.

Bill,

Shur-Flo pumps are seldom worth the effort to repair, but parts are usually available. It sounds like the switch has gone bad.

After you talk to Shur-flo, send me the model number at info at southpointechadler dot com. I will look in my potable pumps junk box and see if I have a switch that will screw on there (a reasonable bet). The hard part will be finding that box.

As to sources, work the online RV and Marine places and Ebay. Usually somebody is blowing one or the other model out.

I just guessed at first. Since I'm a boater (stink potter)
I figured it was for a chandlery (marine stores store).

My beloved PO installed an accumulator and our water pressure is
pretty good. The pump only comes on when I remember to turn on the
switch!
