best size water pump for camper trailer
« on: July 10, 2012, 08:54:30 PM »
About to purchase a new water pump for camper trailer.   Tossing up between flowjet 7.6 ltr and a 3.8ltr.   Concerned higher flow rate means higher problems anyone out there with thoughts ???

Mate we had a 3.8 in our camper. Worked great but was noisy. Replaced it with a 10.5 and quiet as.
We just don't turn tap on as far. No probs. ;D
Good luck.
