Our Shurflo variable speed just bit the dust
In Response To: Fresh water pump... ()

It is the third time in 5 years that we have had it fail. Shurflo always gives us a new one, but that is difficult when out cruising. They do not make the variable flow versions anymore, so I guess we weren't the only ones with problems.

We just ordered this as a replacement: http://www.rvupgradestore.com/Aquajet-RV-Water-Pump-p/aquajetrv.htm

They also make a smaller model if you don't want 5gpm.

It is the only variable speed pump I have found where people were not complaining about it. We love the variable speed pumps much better than the old expansion tank ones, but the Shurflo wasn't rugged. We will see how this one holds up.
