4.0 out of 5 stars Great unit but LOUD, April 9, 2010

This review is from: FloJet LF122202A Marine Automatic Demand Water Pump (1.1-GPM, 35-PSI, 12-Volt, 3.5-Amp) (Sports)

I bought this pump to use in my Volkswagen Westfalia pop top camper along with the Eccotemp tankless hot water on demand unit. The unit primes in record time and provides the necessary 35psi for the Eccotemp. The output is exactly as advertised. For the price it's a great valve. You do need to install an in-line switch for when the water supply runs dry or when traveling (not included). 20 PSI is maintained at all times. My biggest complaint with this unit is the noise. OH MY GOD! The thing sounds like a foghorn--horrible. How on earth such a little pump makes so much noise is beyond me. The pump really delivers the pressure and thus allows the rather temperamental Eccotemp to run properly. The unit is even louder if the volume is throttled, and don't know yet if it would blow a fuse if throttled too much. A 4amp in-line fuse (not provided) is also recommended. If it wasn't for the noise, I would say this pump is wonderful, thus the 4 instead of 5 star rating. Oh, the included specs say 1.9 amp in use; the 3.5 amp (advertised) is presumably for priming and such.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice little pump, August 16, 2009

I bought this pump to replace the manual pump faucet in our pop-up camper, mainly for it's "on-demand" feature and its ability to self-prime. It works well for the price, though it is a little loud. It's not going to fill up a camper sink in world record time, but the flow is decent enough for filling the coffee pot, brushing teeth, rinsing cups, etc.
Installation was simple, both electrical and plumbing.

We purchased this to use in our camper. This unit works great. The pump seems very efficient. We used it dry camping for 10 days and we did not need to charge our battery during the trip. We used this unit with the Eccotemp tankless hot water tank and it provides just the right pressure. The pump is very quiet. The on-demand feature is worth the extra $$ compared to a standard pump.
