We had a Shurflo Water Pump in the motor home (1994) which has broken. It was a 12v 16psi.
Does anyone know if it will be OK to replace it with a Shurflo 12v 30psi as that is all that seems to be available now.
Apparently the psi indicates the water pressure, so I have been told, but no-one I have spoken to knows if it will be a suitable replacement.
Can anyone advise please?

Hi i may be wrong but i thought all the pumps were set at the factory at 30 psi, BUT you adjust them to the water pressure related to your conversion, in your case you drop the pressure to 16psi.

Thanks for that, but the one we took out actually states 16psi on the pump, this is why we are checking it would be OK to install a 30psi.
Anyway, thanks for replying and will look into that option.

Hi,Shureflo pumps are available at different ratings.
You will need to replace yours with the same psi as the original.
I found mine on a chandlers(boats) website (sorry) cant remember the web address.
There are many websites for boating parts (as in houseboats/canal boats they use similar accessories to motorhomes and caravans.
have you googled shureflo pumps?
hi try ebay (190233559891) i think they are go to replace them with 20 psi ones ?if you put a bigger pump in watch your hoses expand with the pressure.
