We're making a lot of progress on our fresh water system. Today we removed the cracked water tank. Before taking the tank out we wanted to see if the water pump worked so we filled the tank about 1/3 and turned on the pump. It worked which delighted us however is sure is noisy. It's just about as loud as the generator. It might also leak. And, of course the pump comes on every time you/we call for water out of the tank so it will be something we have to deal with a lot. It seems a bit anoying. So, the question is, are most of the fresh water pumps noisy or may this one just be an exception. And, most importantly, are there pumps available that are silent or very close to it?
What is the minimum gpm and pressure we need in a new pump? I see there are 2 gpm with 30 lbs of pressure pumps. Are those good enough or do we want something with a little more zip?
We are headed out for two days with the grandsons to stay over on a WWII submarine. I'll check the forum in a couple of days. We're looking to replace the fresh water pump since we're replacing the tank. So far we can't get the sending unit to work either so that's probably on the replacement list as well. The gauge works.
Thanks again as always for your input.
