What size water pump?


Recommended Posts

What size water pump do you have? Ours has a 2.6 gpm rating and the flow is fine but the DW would like a little better shower pressure/volume when needed.

 

Just curious what size others have.

 

Thanks

 

upon review, this may be in the wrong forum section. sorry.

Loved the output of the Shurflo SmartSensor 5.7gpm pump, but each one lasted an average of a year or less. After the last failure I replaced it with a Flojet vsd 4.5gpm. It works fine, but I am not real happy with it ... doesn't seem much better than the Shurflo 1.8gpm I kept as a backup when the 5.7 kept failing. In reading the specs I find it has a much lower psi than the Shurflo. I believe Shurflo has a variable speed 4.6 gpm model. In retrospect I wish I had tried it or an Aquajet rather than the Flojet.

Scroll down the page to the AquaJet ES. Working great for us.

Thanks Guys.

I saw the AquaJet and was leaning towards that but wasn't sure if you could have TOO much of a good thing (gpm)!! LOL

I'll probably head in that direction.

Just put a Oxygenics shower head on, problem solved.

I am also going to acquire one of these too. My DW really likes a shower that she can turn off while lathering without having to mess around with the temperature.

We are now using a Shurflo 4048 (4 gpm) pump and carry a spare. Loved the old Shurflo 5.7 but it was way too much work to keep repairing it.

Later,

PS Our Oxygenics shower head is great, especially when boondocking.

I installed an oxygenics shower head and when I pause it, the water quickly gets cold. If I cut it off with a

separate on/off valve, it just gets a little cooler. And I didn't like the spray pattern and couldn't figure

out how to adjust it, so I went back to my camco shower head with a separate on/off valve because the camco

valve was hard to work. I have an aquajet pump which I like.
