So Payday has arrived , I have been eyingup water pumps for the past month and its not getting any easier
My startof point was :

Fiamma Aqua 8 Water Pump 7L/min (1.5 bar 21.75psi) running at​

Though I am alsoam looking at
Seafflo33 3.0-13.2LPM 17-60PSI Running at 5-10 A

I will be powering a tap 60-80 CM above the pump , a shower head max 1.5m above the pump
And keeping (eventually) my HW tank presurised

It appears the Fiamma is lower on power use but i might be mistaken

Any advise on pumps is recommended
 
I've no experience of either as mine have been Shurflo pumps.

What pump is currently fitted (if any)?

The Fiamma spec'n says it will pump to 3m and max 3.5A draw so would be fine.


For the relatively short time that the pump is in use the current draw is relatively immaterial unless you're short of battery power, although it's less than the Seaflo which is rated at 8.0A draw but it does have a higher pressure and flow rate if you like being steam-cleaned.


I'm just guessing but the higher pressure of the Seaflo might cause joints to leak. :unsure:

Are we talking of motorhome pump or domestic as you mentioned keeping your hot water tank?

Or is this a new build ?

Bought a seaflow ...broke the threads ... It is noisy and flip all presure so simnplifying this:
For the money and the space:

choice of pump is usually governed by the pressure capacity of the water heater you intend using most max out at about 30mb some are much lower
