Review on πŸ’§ Electric Water Pump - Shurflo 4048153E75 by David Gagnon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked for six years with no problems

I used this to pressurize a rainwater harvesting system powered by a 12 volt solar battery. It powered an irrigation system that was used regularly throughout the year. According to the flow meter I have in the system, it pumped 21,000 gallons before the bolts holding the pump head loosened and unbalanced everything until the pump head shook from the motor. He broke two bolts in the process, but after removing them and replacing them with new bolts holding the pump head to the motor, the pump runs smoother than before (but there's still time for a replacement). Considering the heavy use and durability I would easily give five stars and would purchase the exact same model as a replacement. Being powered by a rainwater tank, the pump has run dry many times without damage - this is a real champ.

Pros
  • fresh water systems
Cons
  • I'll write later
