Replacement Water Pump
I'm going to carry a replacement water pump as a spare. I'm interested in max flow and quiet operation. Any recommendations?

Carrying a spare isn’t a bad idea after having one fail while traveling in my TC. The pump head started leaking a fair amount, and at that time there was no shutoff valve after the pump to isolate it from the water system, so I had a leaky mess on my hands even if I switched to campground water.
I replaced it with an AquaPro pump just because that’s what was readily available where I was. I was happy with it as it was a very quiet pump with good flow. About 6-8 months later, that pump failed without warning. One minute it’s working, the next minute it’s not. AquaPro has very good customer service, they replaced it promptly. I got another year or so service out of that one, and then it failed. Not the same way, but failed nonetheless. Again AquaPro replaced it promptly, but before I received the replacement I bought a ShurFlow pump like the original, and installed it, along with a shutoff valve after the pump. Great flow, but definitely louder than the AquaPro pump.

I’m keeping the new AquaPro as an emergency spare, but I guess I’ll stick with the noisy but reliable Shurflo.
