Replacement freshwater pressure pump.Advice Wanted.

[oldgit]

My old Smurf ? pressure pump in my Princess 33 has called it a day after quietly wheezing away for a few months .Need a replacement.Will a 10 per min be pump be enough or do we need something bigger.
Water volume was always a bit weedy from shower but both sinks filled up quickly enough from old pump.
Prices seem to range from around £70.00(Fiamma) up to £140.00 for Sureflo etc..
All advice welcome.

How about one of THESE I got the 10L/min one for my 37 ft Birchwood. I fitted it a few months ago and I'm happy with it so far, if you want a little more power go for the 12.5 L/min, I would have but they were out of stock at the time and I needed a new one ASAP, so I got the 10l/min. You have to admit the price is right.

Actually the pump is a Sureflo which was obvious once I had wiped all the crud off.The pump body is OK but the motor armature laminations had sort of spread.
Thanks for taking the trouble to provide that info,appears to exactly fit the bill.
Will prob go for the 12.5 litre version @ £40.00 ish.
Spent ages trawling the net for some " budget" priced stuff yet this company failed to surface.
Good old MBM forum.It has saved me money in the past and provided loads of useful advice time after time. Fred.

Caravan pumps are virually the same as marine pumps other than the paint used on them and a spark arrestor, try typing shurflo trail king into ebay there looks like a couple of good pumps there.
