Fresh water Pump

Ok have been reading all the topics about water pumps as to which is the best now leaning to splash out and get a Whale 5082 ic pump with max 65Psi and up to 10 Ft hight good for a shower, the other was going to be the Jabsco 4 but did not have the same Psi or hight for a good shower anybody opinions apart from the price.

Jabsco 4 are good and will still give you enough pressure for showering,I use them and no problems with pressure.

Bear in mind that you don't want to have a pump producing more pressure than the PRV on the calorifier is set to - in fact it needs to be a good margin less. Otherwise the pump will run all the time and just pump water out of the PRV.

Water goes straight to a Morco for the hot water and cold to taps direct

Fair enough!

Our Jabsco is working great (we also use Morco for hot water). You don't need to overspec the pump because the Morco can only heat at a certain rate anyway so restricts the flow accordingly.

I think a Morco may works best with a 10-12 litre per minute pump, maybe those with a Morco could say what they have and whether it works OK.
