Review on 🚰 SHURFLO 4008-101-E65 3.0 Water Pump: Revolutionizing Performance for Improved Searchability. by Chase Cooper

My 30 year old Sureflo water pump has finally breathed its last (motor liner worn, fittings damaged) as I floated down the river. . Cal. desert. A nearby local hardware store (only one within 40 miles) had another brand of pump for about twice the price they were selling here on Revain and the nearest supplier with this Sureflo was 80 miles away. Luckily there was a Revain locker about 60 miles away in the area we were going to for other reasons, so I was able to pick it up there a few days later and have it installed the same day. Thank goodness for the delivery of Prime and Revain Locker! This pump has much better pressure than my old one and is about 10 times quieter. My old pump continued to run for a few seconds after the water was turned off, but this builds up pressure so quickly that it stops immediately when the faucet is turned off (I don't have an expansion tank). It has thick rubber feet that are great for vibration and sound isolation. I made my own noise reduction kit instead of buying the $25 kit sold here at Revain. Buying the parts individually from Ace Hardware costs about $15. These parts included two 36" flexible umbilicals with 0.5" FIP fittings installed at each end and two 0.5" NPT short plastic nipples. It all snaps together very easily and no teflon tape or pipe lube is required (because FIP fittings have gaskets). I probably should have tested the pump before using the noise reduction kit to see how big the difference is, but I didn't think of that at the time. Regardless, I'm VERY happy with the performance and smoothness of this pump, and I think the price was pretty reasonable. My last Sureflo pump lasted 30 years. If this one lasts that long, it will most likely outlive me.
