Update 11/19/2020: Bypass needs regular adjustment. I set it up perfectly after installing the pump and the pump didn't shut down today because the bypass never allowed it to reach shut down pressure. SEAFLOW does not live up to the warranty and expects the seller to do so, so I downgraded the rating to only one star. First Review: I'm very glad I moved my water pump for easy access because SEAFLO had a pressure switch. set too low and the bypass wasn't working with the set switch pressure orโ€ฆ

thought it was great until after six months it started leaking

**updated**** I've bought THREE of these in the last year and each of them started leaking internally pretty quickly. If you must use one, I recommend setting it up in a pot and checking it regularly to make sure it's not damaging the water when it inevitably fails. ** It's a lot quieter than the one it replaced and I appreciate the motor slowing down when pumping small rivers. that would be a five star rating. except that a mysterious leak occurred just six months later. I can't figure outโ€ฆ

Seaflo is NOT under warranty

I bought this pump new in July 2019 and it failed in May 2020. I contacted Seaflo on May 11, 2020 and they responded quickly. I tried bypassing the pressure switch as suggested but the pump still wouldn't work. The problem was that the motor itself was blocked. Seaflo quickly offered to escalate the warranty claim to the wholesaler for resolution (replacement). A month later (June 8, 2020) I contacted Seaflo who said the wholesalers were "limping". Especially if you're looking to buy a unit, it

Just bought and installed

We bought our rig in October 2019 and it came with a regular Shurflo 4008-101-A65, we've had a trailer for about 7 months. We rarely use the fresh water tank and are always connected to the city water supply, two weeks ago we heard the water running and when we went outside to check. Water leaked from the fill valve on the fresh water tank. We were connected to the city water supply, nothing should get into the fresh water tank. It was determined that the control valve in the current pump hadโ€ฆ

Decent pump for the money

Replaced a 45psi, 5gpm pump with this pump. Added a holding tank to compensate for the 2 GPM reduction in throughput. The accumulator works like a mini pressure tank with a built in air chamber that compresses with the water pressure from the pump, giving you extra water flow before the pump hits the bottom and kicks in. Fewer pump cycles, less energy consumption, more volume at higher pressure. Well it works fine but I was spoiled by an old oversized pump that failed. Run in bucket with noโ€ฆ

  • Low repairability
