water pump upgrade 2005 Bigfoot
I was thinking about up grading my original water pump. It is in a 2005 Bigfoot TC. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

The noise is not the problem hearing it run is just fine.
Its the pump turning on and off all the time when running the water.
At nite i just turn the pump switch off and when we are outside just in case there is a leak.
I too have the Surflo Whisper pump. The name does not describe the pump as bigfoorford stated. The accumulator does not make the pumps quieter, it only reduces the frequency of times the pump turns on. When someone uses the toilet at night, the pump seldom comes on waking others up.
You can install the accumulator in any position. My preference is to mount the accumulator with the inlet pointing down. This allows you to completely drain the tank. It is important to have correct air pressure in the accumulator, and the pump. If incorrect, the amount of water held in the tank typically will be incorrect. I think there this is detail in the link bigfootford posted.
