Water pump replacement

[CentralCoastCam]

I need to replace the water pump in my Challenger fiver. In doing a search here, the SureFlo 4008 Revolution seems to be a popular choice. However, some say the Remco Aquajet is the way to go. It's also double to price.
I dry camp about 50% of the time and use city water the other 50%. I have an accumulator already installed.
Recommendations?

Thirteen years on Aqua Flow, Replaced last year with same model 55psi and 5.5 gal per minute.
Seems all on them run on up to 10 amps, and the pumps carry cautions on mounting and for cooling air, and they can get hot if run continously or a very long time.

Thanks for all the replies. Im going to go with the Revolution.

My AquaTech Aqua jet is still working perfect after 13 years. However it was pricey.

I'm used to my old Sensor 5.7 though, which will go on this trailer when my warranty is up.
(I have the only good 5.7 they ever made)

Just be aware that when that 5.7 fails, it may get VERY hot. Hot enough to cause a fire. I know this because it happened to me.

The only "good" 5.7's were the very first ones. They lost their original electronics supplier and it was "downhill" from there.

Interesting to hear the story and I'm not sure if it's one of the first but it sounds like it must be.
It' has worked great for 13 years though. I've even accidentally let it run dry for a couple of days on two occasions and it still works perfectly.
I guess I got lucky!

All of the variable speed pumps seem to have issues because of the electronics involved. The "Revolution" pumps are either off or on and vary the output with an internal bypass. IMO, that's a much more reliable system.

Iused the Revolution and it is quiet and works fine for my needs.
