Fitting a Shurflo to our hymer maybe?? (1 Viewer)

[bluesurf989]

Hi all.
Having just changed our water pump in our hymer the pressure in the shower still remains pretty rubbish, i know its never going to be a power shower but it struggles getting you wet. I also changed the shower head to see if that helps but no! The pressure in the kitchen sink and bathroom sink is all pretty good. Now ive been looking into the Shurflo pumps as we had one on our previous moho and it was great. Because our pump in the hymer is in the tank would it be a big job to change this and install a shurflo pump.
Many thanks

Perhaps you just need a submersible pump with a better flow rate. How many ltires per minute is your current one rated at?

I fitted one to my Hymer a few months ago, I hot fed up with the microswitch wiring failing.

How long did it take you to move the steering wheel, gear knob and pedals. Thinking about doing that to my van so my wife can drive instead of me (y) I would complain you have been sold a duff van, proper German vans always come with the steering wheel on the left & a driver's door.:LOL:

The main difficulty is finding somewhere to locate the new pump, and running a 12V supply to it. The submersible pump can be replaced by a length of pipe. The tap microswitches are then unnecessary and can be bypassed and ignored. A switch to isolate the pump is needed, for example if the fresh water tank is empty.

I'm thinking of changing pumps myself, after going through about one Reich pump per year. I've given them one last chance, and fitted a voltage stabiliser on the pump supply, in case the high voltage during battery charging was causing a problem. But I'm not very optimistic that it will solve the problem.

We usually stay on camp sites with EHU, and use the toilet block facilities most of the time. But on the last trip we never used the toilet blocks once, due to Covid, using on-board facilities all the time. So the water pump is much more important now, and gets a lot of use.

It may be worth checking the supply hoses to the shower, we had a similar problem in our Bessacar, taps fine but shower rubbish. Twice it went back under warranty the dealer never solved the problem. I eventually stripped out the shower panels and found 2 unnecessary 90° bends in both the hot and cold supply, they were removed the supply hoses shortened and straight couplings fitted, the improvement was the difference between a working shower and a dribler.
