SEAFLO 42 Series 12V 3.0 GPM 55PSI Continuous Duty Diaphragm Pump with Bypass for Reduced Cycling, Fresh/Salt Water, 4-Year Warranty, UL & CSA Certified, Self-Priming for Marine, RV, Off-Grid, Boats

Excellent product. Super quiet, very easy to install, perfect fit for my setup, very well made. It comes with a rubber base to absorb vibrations which makes it quieter than it already is.I’ve been using it daily for about a week now without any issues. My daily use is basically to water my garden which takers about 30 minutes of continuous use and supply a toilet and a sink that are off grid. Suction head of my setup is about 2 feet and the other end head is about 10 feet, no issues at all, pressure is great and the auto shut off works flawlessly. Mine is powered by a small battery bank of about 50amps that is connected to a wind generator so is completely off grid.If you want a quiet, powerful, easy to install, great quality 12 volts pump; look no further this is the one you need!!!

I use this pump as the main pump for a domestic water system at my off grid cabin. It's powered by a 12v battery that is charged by a solar panel, and it pulls water from a 100 gallon agricultural spray tank. It has plenty of flow and pressure for washing dishes or taking a shower, and it puts out fairly steady pressure for a diaphragm pump- I haven't needed to add a surge tank. It's mounted to one of the posts under the floor of the cabin and it's quiet enough to not really be very audible when running. It's survived several seasons of use without noticeable wear and tear. I drain it down every winter and remove the screen and have had no freeze damage. The water it pumps from the tank ranges in temperature from 45 degrees to 90 degrees depending on the season and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the pump.

Works great out of the box. Self priming and senses when to come on and when to stop. Must have a 10 amp fuse due to surge on starting.

What it the worst thing about an RV? Being woken up every time someone uses the bathroom because the pump is so noisy, the alarm clock is quieter. Well what a difference, you can just barely hear it in the RV. Also no surging in the water from the sink. Perfect fit if you are coming from the other S brand. Screws align right up.

The first pump I received was defective. So far the second one is working well. I paid a marine mechanic to install the first, and I installed the second. Easy to install, quiet, with enough pressure.

The water pump in my motorhome started running full time, and would not turn off after reaching pressure. I ordered this Seaflo pump as a replacement. It was easy to install, and fit right in, without modification, where the old pump was. Pressure and flow rate seem to be similar to what is claimed, as it is the same as the old pump.It paid off that it came with new threaded connections and a strainer, as one of the old connectors started leaking.It runs slightly quieter than the old pump, which was a leading brand, with a name that is very similar to Seaflo. Time will tell

I don’t typically leave negative reviews, but this could literally be life or death for someone and I feel a responsibility to inform anyone who may be relying on this for potable water, or any situation where the products failure could be catastrophic.Sure it is quiet, inexpensive, good psi, boasting low flow capabilities and an impressive warranty (granted I still needed to install an accumulator tank because mine still cycles, and people have reported they don’t honor their warranty) - but the pressure switch on this has caused catastrophic issues for many people (just search YouTube); as far as draining freshwater tanks out at sea due to melting the plastic water joints (not to mention potentially starting a fire).Well, its not a myth. I’ve pumped maybe 100 gallons simply to test the water system I installed in my sprinter. Worked great, so I thought maybe those people had it in too humid environments for too long and that caused the issue (still shouldn’t happen on a water pump, but ok you get what you pay for).Well, brand new pump… Dry location… Still returnable to Amazon… It seemed to work fine so I took a trip (I’m still on the trip trying to get a new pump sent to me on my way).First night (last night), it started shorting out when it reached pressure, just as it has been cautioned in the videos I have watched. It shorts enough to make an electrical short crackling sound and make the lights in the van flicker while the pump rapidly cycles on and off, but not enough to trip the fuse. Plus it still pumps water… for now…As such, I can certainly understand how if this was out of observable range (acoustically or visually), and not tampering with sensitive lighting dimmers (different circuit, non-isolated, same power source), one would not necessarily know that it’s shorting out until it’s too late and has melted itself, and potentially the connected plumbing (which is how this has unknowingly drained freshwater tanks at sea)…Thankfully I’m still under Amazon’s return window (yes it’s that new), and they will honor the return, otherwise I’d have to deal with the seaflo warranty that they don’t seem to honor (read reviews of them delaying by months, or going MIA, or even going as far as just telling people to just bypass the pressure switch and keep the faulty unit).I decided to buy a higher quality pump for peace of mind. And I’m not even out at sea. But the possibility of a fire? Or suddenly draining the freshwater tank into my van? Perhaps while 5 days out into the desert?Nope.It’s a known issue and simple fix seaflo. You could literally be the cause of someone’s demise for not just fixing this issue. It’s not just inconvenient; it’s potentially someone’s life if they are weeks from land or way off grid.Buyer beware.

Easy to install, works great for my camper van
