Installing a new SureFlo water pump...

[Pete Masterson]

The Microphor toilet prefers water pressure under 50 psi. It won't cycle the flush water properly when the pressure is too high. With the variable speed pump, I find if I turn on the bathroom water faucet, then immediately hit the flush lever, it works fine. On my "to do" list is to install a pressure regulator on the water supply line to the Microphor. The plumbing is reasonably accessible in my coach for that installation.

I don't know about your 86. My shore water is regulated to 40 psi per the book. My pump operates between 30 and 45 psi. The air accumulator is intended to smooth out the water flow and really does not have any thing to do with water flow except when the pump is turned on. It smooths out the water flow. If you have an air toilet you may be asking for trouble there also. I have plenty of water. Perhaps you pump is not doing the job.

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. -Ryan '86 PT-40 8V92
