Jabsco 2.9 pump - slowing down flow rate?

[ashtead]

yes it does - but with the tap fully open water splashes everywhere and it would be nice not to have to remind anyone who doesn't want an impromptu shower not to turn the tap full on,

Presumably they will only do it once though

If only you'd said that in the OP.

There's a blue cap on the end of the pump, take that off and you will find a screw, anticlockwise will lessen the pressure.

What and take away the joy of the forum's double guessing the reasons for the question

If it's any consolation I did learn something about these pumps from pvb as a result of you post so hopefully we now all know the options if we encounter . Maybe the next question is how you reduce the noise from these pumps ?

Recommend you start a new thread with that question.

Perhaps replacing the tap with one that is more controllable would be a cheaper option that changing the pump!

Seems a sensible suggestion.
No way of changing flow rate - totally controlled by the amount of water being drawn.

Just trying to introduce a more creative thread to the post but if replacing the pump or adjusting it might involve removal and hence of interest to the OP

You can reduce the pressure by removing the blue cover on the end, (1 screw), then turning the Philips screw underneath anti clockwise. I’d do it in half turns and keep a note of turns so you can revert to the original setting if needs be. I did this to increase pressure a while ago.

Mount it on a soft rubber mat

Thanks for that might use some old wetsuit samples and see if it works
