Had some time to swap out water pumps. Out with the Flojet; in with the Shurflo.
Installed 4 components to the system:
1. SHURflo 4008-101-E65
2. Camco 36543 Pump Converter Winterizing Kit
3. Twist on Pipe strainer
4. SHURFLO 94-591-01 Pump Silencing Kit
Last, I sized and cut up a 1/2 inch rubber mat to mount the SHURflo pump on. I also sound insulated the sides and top of the bedside cavity that houses the pump with 2" foam.
All I can say is unbelievable! If you're on the fence with replacing your Flojet pump, don't think twice. DO IT! The noise and vibration reduction is significant (probably 75% reduction for both). The SHURflow is dramatically quieter than the Flojet even without the other modifications. I should have replaced the OEM pump last season. Would have saved me sleepless hours.
