Up graded fresh water pump

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Good morning to everyone:

Now that I have the water problems solved in the '84FC, I was asked to post
my thoughts on the validity of the up grade.

The following is from my feeling and what I now have over what was
installed and not from any technical standpoint.

Old pump; 40 PSI @ 4gpm Par pump

Good pressure
Noisy
must have accumulator tank
no shower while doing dish

New pump; Surflow 65Psi @ 5.7 GPM Variable speed

Stinging shower normal shower with kitchen faucet running
Is it running? very quiet
removed accumulator tank
Will drain fresh water tank faster

I like the up grade even though it did point out that I had a water
pressure problem that I did not know I had until it was installed.

What I forsee with Coaches with dual water pumps. A single pump giving more
pressure than both dual pumps on the A/B switch since the dual pumps are
generally 40 PSI @ 3 GPM

All that being said, even with the increase of price, it is a good viable
up grade and I recommend it.

Higher pressures? Well these Coaches must pass a 115 static PSI test for
the RVIA standard, so 65 PSI is well within that range. Even if 2 65 PSI
pumps were installed on the dual system, the variable speed pumps would or
should equalize and at most would give you a constant 65 PSI with all
faucets running
