TWO ADDITIONAL U.S. BRAND PUMP CHOICES
In case you wanted yet more options for U.S. branded 3 gpm pumps, I recently came across two additional obscure options, the Camco #22491 and the made-in-USA Remco Series 3200. Remco is a longtime manufacturer of boat pumps and other pumps, and Camco is an established component supplier to the RV industry. (Remco also makes 1 gpm pumps for small RVs.) Little in the way of Amazon user reviews for either pump -- they're somewhat obscure choices -- although that shouldn't necessarily be a disqualifier.
CAMCO #22491
-One pump model offered
-3.0 gpm flow
-55 psi max pressure
-7.5 amps max draw
-10 amps or higher RV pump fuse assumed
-Bypass valve to reduce cycling and pulsation
-Plumbing strainer and two straight ½ inch connectors provided
-Can run dry without damage
-5/10 minute duty cycle – 5 min full flow, 10 min cooldown, like the Lippert pump
-2 year warranty
REMCO SERIES 3200
-3.2 gpm flow
-45 psi max pressure
-8 amps max draw
-10 amps or higher RV pump fuse assumed
-Unknown if bypass valve is provided
-Plumbing strainer and two connectors provided, one straight, one 90 elbow. Like Flojet, Remco uses proprietary o-ring fittings, which shouldn’t be a complication for most folks. Note that Remco confusingly refers to "3/4 inch" fittings, but they're talking about the 3/4" holes in the pump head the fittings press into. The barbed hose end of each fitting appears to be a standard 1/2". Their catalog lists alternate proprietary fittings available.
-Can run dry without damage
-Can be wall mounted with the pump module above the motor
-Made in the USA
-1 year warranty
