Coach Potable Water Pump

[Jay Darst]

David,

I removed my old noisey diaphram pump, the accumulator and the on
board water filter. All of this was in the same crampt spot, so
really made some room with just the pump going back in.

If I do it over again, I'd get the Shurflo Smart Sensor 5.7. Brother
has it, works great, bit higher shower pressure, little better volume
(in case some in the kitchen while I'm in the shower).

The pump will come with a variety of connectors for the water lines.
I didn't have to buy anything else(85PT40) as they sent everything I
needed. Not seen the much newer '02 pump set up.

Do the redundant pumps run simultaneously?

Get rid of the accunulator and both pumps, the variable speed pumps
do a very good job. Was pleasantly surprised when it performed as
described, you DO NOT need an accumulator.

The only time I notice the micro second delay is while shaving,
rinsing the razor without just leaving the water on. (not supposed
shave while playing anyway ;~} ...)

Make the change and don't look back!
