I did the same thing -- used the 5.7 gpm on demand pump for 2+ years until I sold the coach. Had no problems with the pump. Better pressure than before. Some Microphor toilets aren't "happy" with the extra pressure, so you may need to install a pressure limiter on the water line serving the toilet. (Or open a cold water tap just before flushing to momentarily drop the pressure.)

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.
