I have removed my freshwater pressure pump supplying heads and galley sinks as it was leaking badly. The pump is a Johnson p15-12v and is beyond repair. Looking online there are loads of different pumps operating at different pressures and flow rates. My old one appears to have been a 16psi and 12 gpm, however the label is pretty unreadable and this may be wrong.

Can anyone give any words of wisdom on a suitable replacement as these seem very expensive and dont want something that ends up unsuitable?

I replaced my Jabsco with a Seafo 41 series 25psi, the Seaflo is quieter, I did have to adjust the flow sensor after it nearly cooked itself but it's been fine since. £75...
Hi, this is interesting. I've been going through about 2 pumps a year and have a very noisy one now that sounds like it's about to go pop. How do you adjust the flow sensor? YouTube?
Cheers

I fitted, 6 years ago, a Jabsco Par-Max 2.9 Pressure-Control Pump 25PSI 12v 31395-0292 11 litres per minute cut-in 15psi cut-out 25psi. Works well, two sinks and a shower, no problems at all. Quieter than the Jabsco Par Mate it replaced but not silent.
