Installing a new SureFlo water pump...

[Pete Masterson]

Well, that's the difference. I have the 5.7 and I get more water pressure from the pump than I get from city water.

I like those long showers too. The 5.7 pump and the "forever" hot water of the AquaHot makes for a happy camper.

Hey Ryan,

I put the Shurflo in my PT40 & it works great.  No pulsation at all & very quiet.  Not quite as much volume of water (GPM) as you would have hooked up to city water supply but still adequate.  I actually installed the 4.0 model rather than the 5.7 as I like a longer shower in the am before the hot water runs out.

Just need some advice on size, etc. I like the 5.7 variable speed

 pump, but is 65psi excessive? Am I looking to get myself into all

 manner of plumbing problems brought on by the pressure?

 

 I only need the pump to match the pressure I get when hooked up to

 city water. Showers are great when I have city water hooked up.

 Terrible with my current water pump.

 

 Another question, I'd like to keep the factory pressure tank so the

 pump runs less often. Will the Sureflo 5.7 eat it up, or will they

 work OK together?

 

 Thanks in advance for any advice.
