George,



I bought one of their early pumps which failed shortly thereafter. They
made

some improvements and my second pump is well into it's second year.
They're

quite, they cycle only when you turn on a faucet, and the pressure and
flow rates

are smooth and consistent. If they fail in the field, limp over to
Camping World and

buy another, they're simple to install and replace. One caveat is that
you input and

outputs should be free of elbows for the first 18 inches. Shurflo
provides a good

set of fittings available for the pump.

Hello David, How long has the Shurflo Extreme been out, and how
long has it been since you installed yours? Are they pricey? May need
one this spring. Thanks, George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte

Hi Ron,



I've been there enough times to prompt me to rip out the two shurflo's

with accumulator tank and replace the whole contraption with one shurflo

extreme 5.7 gpm constant pressure pump. No looking back. :-)

We had Foretravel of Nacogdoches replace both of our
waterpumps last April. They worked fine up until sometime last week.
The wife commented that she thought that she had been hearing the water
pumps running continuously for several minutes. Oh oh, I thought, empty
water tank and a faucet running somewhere; maybe a leak? Nope. Tank is
full and faucets all secure. No leaks anywhere. Cycled all of the pump
switches on/off. The pump would turn on/off but no suction, no increase
in water pressure. Crawled into the pump area to do a visual/feel. Only
the top one runs but no suction. The bottom one won't even run. Anyone
been there? Thanks.
