Water pump (one more time)

[Pete Masterson]

THe original pump in my coach provided 40-45 lbs pressure. I
installed a ShurFlo variable speed pump that provides 65 lbs
pressure. The coach plumbing seems to be 'up' for this although I
have an anomaly with the Microphor toilet (it doesn't like pressure
above 50#). Mostly, the higher pressure gives you a better "user
experience" when you take a shower. The variable speed pump also
eliminates the need for the accumulator (expansion) tank.
