Freshwater pump
eric freedman
I was thinking of changing out my original fresh water pump for a Sureflo Aqua King.My only concern is that the shutoff pressure is 55 PSI, 3.8 Bar.It is an on demand pump and puts out 18 liters per minute. Has anyone installed this pump ? The pressure can be reduced however, I do not know how low it will go. Fair Winds, Eric SM 376 Kimberlite

Hi Eric, We've had good luck with the Jabsco Parmax Plus 4. 24v. $140. Good pressure won't strain the plumbing. Chuck Joy #388

Parmax 4 24v 40psi has performed perfectly for us for 5+ years now. I think the previous owner had a 25psi model in there when we took over the boat and it was OK, but the 40psi has plenty of reserve for two showers concurrently.

Eric - I have the Sureflo Aqua King II on my boat - It was actually installed by the previous owner. So, for around 5 - 6 yrs, I have not had any problems with respect to leaks at fittings, etc. (I leave the water pump on all the time while I’m on the boat. It is a good pump, I’m happy with its performance, and I keep a spare. You can adjust the demand sensitivity on it, though I’ve never changed it from the factory setting.

The Parmax might be a little less expensive. -James

Hi Eric,
Did you end up going with the Aqua King II? Are you happy with it? I'm looking to replace my freshwater pump as well and the Aqua King II premium 4gpm (#4148) or supreme 5gpm (#4158) look like pretty good options. I do not have an accumulator tank. Also, were you able to wire it so the indicator lamp on the control panel lights up? (Not essential, just curious. Our current pump does not). Cheers, Mike Longcor SV Trilogy SM23 Opua, NZ

I replaced the pump with a Jabsco variable speed (VFLO) pump. It has been very good and reliable. It is expensive though.
