I have the Jabsco Par-Max 2.9. Installed 6 months ago when our older pump died. I've been happy with it. Works well and the install was easy.
It's about as noisy as our previous pump. Mounted under the galley sink, there's no risk of not hearing it if it's cycling or running continuously while onboard. I'm happy with 2.9 gph too. Our old pump was 1.6 gph. The new one doesn't seem much faster though, which is good (I was worried 2.9 gph was too high), because we try to use water very sparingly (carry 29g which lasts us 7-8 days). -Patrick C&C LF38 On Mon, Sep 19, 2016 at 10:44 AM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > From: Frederick G Street <f...@postaudio.net> > To: "Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Cc: > Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 12:37:20 -0500 > Subject: Stus-List Potable water pump > Hi, all — I tracked down a leak in my potable water system last weekend to > an apparent split or leak in the diaphragm on the belt-driven (probably > original…) pressure water pump on my LF38.
