Which electric water pump has given the best service?
|
Sureflo is probably the most common pump, but I have always liked the Flojet pumps, they are somewhat less expensive, and quieter in my opinion. They generally have higher pressure and I like the quick connect fittings that are standard with them. I have had several in different RV's and like them a lot.
Both come in standard cycling versions, as well as electronic speed control systems. I have not had an electronic one personally, but a friend with one says it is OK, but not much better than the standard ones, and a lot more expensive. He says he would not do it again.
Sureflo has just come out with a new generation of pumps. Higher pressure and so on. Time will tell if they are any better than the old ones.

Randy,
The most popular pump that many have used was the Shurflo 2088 pump.
This is the pump that I have in our coach and I have installed in a
number of other coaches.

Although it is still available it has now been superseded by the
Shurflo 4008 pump.
http://rvpartsoutlet.com/product_info.php?cPath=842_161&products_id=11881
Both pumps can be had for under $70 and the performance of the 4008
has been enhanced over the 2088 with better flow and pressure and
reduced noise.
The Shurflo Smart Sensor 5.7 is a very good pump but at 2 1/2 times
the cost of a 4008 I personally could not justify the additional cost
vs performance of the newer 4088 pump.
