Shurflo Pumps

[WESTY66]

Ive always been one to edge my bets and prepare for stuff happening, eg spare brake pads, spare air bags etc I am thinking of getting a spare water pump and whilst I can’t quite see model numbers on mine I’m fairly confident it’s a 20psi 7lts a minute pump, now I’ve seen a 30psi 10ltrs a minute pump, would this be too powerful and blow the pipes apart??

No a lot of vans have changed to 30ltr.

It will be fine but a bit noisier . Thats what I fitted in my van and its quite loud.

Be careful it may not be fine. It will depend if you have a water heater and what pressure it will take .Some specify 20psi only

Spoke to alde today and it wouldn’t be a problem except……….the extra water flow wouldn’t stay in the boiler as long and wouldn’t stay as hot

But they said their boilers are good up to 45 psi

Stick with the 20, the boiler will not take the 30 in the C line. Ours lasted 4 years from new then started leaking, then its replacement lasted 13 months and gave no indication of issues. It just pumped away but no water pushed around. New one fitted and good to go. Paid about £55 jacksons-leisure-supplies for the second spare of Ebay. The first replacement from a caravan dealer was £90

Yes I think I will, I just need to get the number off it, it’s on the far side and I can’t see it
