Self Priming Water Pump Which do I need for freshwater use

[thesaintlyone]

On eBay, there are a number of Diagphram Self Priming Water Pumps for sale ranging from £10 and up

I only need fresh water for the galley tap (currently Coldwater only) and maybe in the future a cockpit shower but as yet undecided so can anyone tell me which would suit my needs best of the options available

Many Thanks

Assuming you don't what to buy a low capacity pump now for the galley tap and upgrade later, somefing like this http://www.jabscoshop.com/marine/pu...-vflo-constant-pressure-water-system-pump.htm will be suitable for the galley now and the shower later

A Jabsco Par Max 4 will do the job nicely, might want to add an accumulator.

No doubt you're looking at the £12.99 ones on Ebay............... might be ok for slowly filling a kettle, no good for a shower, You want 25-40 psi and 15-20 litres a minute.

That's more than he's spent on the rest of the refurb Vic

The Jabsco is a good pump, but for about half the price you can have a Whale Watermaster FW1214 or FW1215, which will fully meet your needs.
