Coach Potable Water Pump

[David Brady]

Hi Jay,

My FloJet accumulator tank just threw in the towel. In addition,
in my short time with my coach I've gone through 2 Shurflo diaphragm
water pumps; time to look for alternatives, which leads me to
your serendipitous post. Is there anything I need to know about
adapting the Jabsco 31755 to my bus, or is it simply remove the
rats nest of parallel Shurflo's and the accumulator tank along with
all the associated plumbing and drop in one single elegant device,
the Jabsco?

Thanks
David Brady
