water pump

im trying to replace a shurflo 5900-0201 5.7 water pump with something similiar shurflo recommends the 4048 4.0 wich is much smaller.i replaced it with a aquajet 55 5.3 wich is noisy and has a low hum at times(wont shut off)until i turn off power switch.can someone recommend the best high flow replacement pump?

thanks hoffy
  • yea the guy at remco said he thinks i have a airleak on the intake side.i have checked all connections dont know what else to do?
  • The SHurflo 4048 is recommended as 'direct replacement' for the Shurflo 5.7 Variable Speed pump

    It is rated for 4 gpm at 55 psi
    It has an internal bypass valve to control low flow shutter (allows pump to run continuously during low flow demands vs stop/start/stop/start action)


    As for that Aquajet 55.........
    Might be an installation issue, air leak or controller
    Installation...Operation Manual
    Troubleshooting starts pg. 16
  • No need to replace your pump replace the micro switch,
    it only take 10 mins

    put micro-switch for shurflo pumps in your search bar,
    they cost about $3.00
  • It's going to be very hard to match the performance of the 5.7. I have one of the few that held up good and plan on installing it in our new trailer when the warranty is up.
    The new TT has a Shureflow Revolution 4 pump. It works good, has decent flow and provides a nice shower experience. It works well for 1 item being used (sink, shower, toilet) but I can't use multiple items like I could with the 5.7 nor does it make nearly as much flow and pressure.
    There are some better but way more expensive marine pumps but the Revolution does a good job for the price.
