Leaking water pump (1 Viewer)

[MaccyB]

Hi all

I have just discovered that my Shurflo Trailking 7 is leaking. It leaks from the join where the two black parts are connected together. It looks like, from the date, it was fitted new with the motorhome. I have seen a 16psi pump on Horizon Leisure. Should I stick with that, or would a more widely available 20psi pump be ok. Any advice would be appreciated. First MH so all still very new and a steep learning curve.

the 20 psi will work fine if the pump works other than the leak you can often just strip it down and clean the diaphram id replace and clean the old one for a spare

there is somebody with some new old stock service kits for the shurflo pumps on ebay at £10 each. A bargain price

It is usually the water heater that limits the pressure. If it is Truma, it is probably OK, but some heaters (i.e. Propex/Whale) require low pressure. Find out what you have and go for a pump just under the permitted service pressure.

Thank you all for the replies. OH did some looking into it and apparently the 16psi is discontinued. Will go for the 20psi as suggested. Hope nothing else goes wrong
