HI Ken , I had not seen that one. It does look nice.. The variable speed feature sounds good. Not sure how well my 25 year old plastic plumbing system would handle the extra 10 PSI though..

SHURflo EXTREME™ Smart Sensor™ 4.0 Fresh Water Pump We have one and I really like it. The variable speed feature is what makes it a great pump. If you run the tap slowly the pump just ticks over slowly too so is very quiet, almost silent, especially appreciated at night when someone is sleeping. http://shurflo.com/marine-products/fresh-water-pumps/extreme-series-pumps/8-extreme-smart-sensor-4-0-fresh-water-pump-12vdc The Smart Sensor™ 4.0 is designed specifically for cruisers and midsize yachts. Delivering 4.0 GPM and pressure up to 50 PSI, this micro-controller based variable speed pump precisely monitors your system’s water pressure and adjusts the motor speed, eliminating the need for a pressure switch. SHURFLO® engineered the Smart Sensor™ 4.0 with a superior four-chamber design that incorporates large inlet and outlet passages to maximize water flow and efficiency, providing a “Just Like Home” shower and quiet operation.

The 2.9 needs a 10 amps circuit / breaker while the 3.5 needs a 15 amp circuit. Your boat most likely has the 10 amp breaker, you'd have to at least change the breaker / possibly upgrade the wiring as well. Also, if you are counting amps while on the hook, the higher capacity pump will take a deeper cut into your batteries. That is also why I decided to rebuild / stick with the original model 500736 pump on my boat. It's a little noisy but it's built like a truck, easy to rebuild, and makes 3.0 GPM / 40 PSI on a 8 amp circuit / breaker. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" lake Lanier, GA Hi, I am in the process of upgrading the fresh water plumbing on my boat. The old fresh water pump was removed long before I obtain this project. I am currently deciding between two pumps: a Jabsco Par-Max 2.9gal/min 50psi (31395-0092) and a Jabsco Par-Max 3.5gal/min 40psi (32600-0092). The Par-Max 3.5 cost about 50% more. I want to favor the Par-Max 2.9 to conserve water but I am interested to hear what other think about the 2.9 gal/min flow being enough? Thanks for anyones input. - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL Regards François Rivard 4111 Northside Pkwy, Nw Big Data Black Belt Atlanta, 30327-3015 IBM Sales & Distribution, Software Sales Usa Mobile: 770-639-0429 e-mail: jfriv...@us.ibm.com _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
