Very Nice! With the main power lines both being mostly white, you could invert the spade connectors on only one of them so that if you ever unplug the pump later, and you manage to forget which one was positive/negative, you don’t have to worry about it since the connectors are not reversible. If you do that, make sure the positive supply line had the shield around it to protect it from bumping a ground and popping a fuse. I think in your case, I’d flip the ground connector around.
I would put reinforced flexible 1/2" on the pump to a push on sharkbyte fitting. You can eliminate a lot of noise and vibration that way.
Thank you for explaining the Remco water pump features, swap out of existing pump and the casual critical mention of the Govee Water Sensors. I will be installing shortly a complete PEX plumbing system in my RV and plan to use this Remco variable speed water pump, Apollo Valves APXPRV34WG Water Pressure Regulator w/Gauge and water sensors within different locations to monitor complete system. Appreciate all the info
A couple of other tidbits would be anti-vibe, plate, loops in and out of the pump and shrink tube electrical connectors good video
I would put a positive connector on one wire and negative on the other wire so, if I had to swap the pumps in the future the wires wouldn’t accidentally get hooked up backwards. (Not saying I have done that before 🤪)
Happy Sunday! Checking in to see if you’ve been running the variable speed pump and to find out if there have been any problems related to the 65 psi🙂
Good morning, my pump came in yesterday (the box was beat to hell😕). My question is: we normally run our reflection at 45psi and the pump says 65psi. Will the unit always try to get to 65psi? And wouldn’t that be too much in the lines(especially if they were in a hurry when they built it) also, I didn’t receive any gaskets as I noticed the yellowish one you put on yours, I only got the part that snaps in… thanks for helping
I probably would have fabricated a bypass loop and plumbed the new pump into that loop and left the original pump in place, then if something happens to the new pump while out on the road, all you have to do is close two valves and open two others to isolate the new pump and put the old pump back in service in one minute. TP
Great instructional video. Not being familiar with models of pumps, are these pretty standard sizes for 5th wheels?
Good explanation, I'm considering this pump but concerned about the 65psi for my 31 year old motorhome even though grey plastic pex looking pipe says 100psi rating. Do you use a tankless water heater? If so which one do you prefer and why?
I've been thinking of installing an accumulator. Maintain pressure reduce hammering and short cycling quiet operation well worked on my boats. Any thoughts or comments
Great video. How would you compare the noise level between the 2 pumps? Thanks.
How about if you point your shower head up at like waist height does the water spray upwards or just dribble around the shower head would love to see that... It;s what i hate the most about our pump
what piece is that at the end of the blue pex that's threading into the aquajet? I have no idea what threads im looking for
I’m just curious how noisy this pump is? Not going in a RV but in a kitchen for a water dispenser and ice maker that requires 65psi. I was going to install it in a cabinet but I’ve read the aquatec brand variable speed is way too loud. Curious on your thoughts.
How noisy is that Remco beast?
I'm eager to hear how the pump is working out. I've been thinking about installing one. But I'm concerned if it will still short cycle at low flow/trickle. The motor can only spin so slow but it has the internal bypass as well. Do you find it to short cycle any? We mostly camp without water hooks, so we use our onboard water and pump 90% of the time.
Where was the water pump. Mine sounds like it is in the bathroom next to the toilet.
It is high-priced though. $242 at first look.
