CAMPLUX DC 12V Water Pump, Self-Priming, 1.6 GPM Diaphragm Pump 65 PSI for RV Marine Yacht Camping

I bought this to try to make my camplux shower a little more efficient. It 100% did so. Before the pump the shower was one of extremes, too hot, too cold, never right. After purchasing the pump it make the shower an absolute treat. The first time in years that I had a great shower at the camp. PERFECT!!

This works well. You will want teflon tape so the plastic hose fittings don't leak. It doesn't have an on/off switch, so you may want to add one, or else just plug/unplug it.

It's funny, I purposely bought a different portable propane hotwater heater because of the negative reviews this pump received. Well, I needed another to run my sink and this little guy is so much better. Of course I've only used it for 2 total weeks but so far so good. It is the perfect flow to run my RV sink and it is the perfect flow for my shower to keep it hot and not pump it faster than my insta-heater can heat. It has limited exposure to freezing temps, only 1 or 2 nights but I also try to run the pump dry after use. Seems to have held up OK. As with all affordable items, time will tell.

Pump seems to be working well. I installed it in a camper, as other reviewers have stated the pump is a bit loud. Only negative was USPS shipping, pump arrived late and beat up. I don’t way USPS is used by Amazon.

Works great in off grid application to limit water usage in regards to flow rate allowing time for tankless water heater to sufficiently heat cold water to desired temps. Very loud: pump is mounted in crawl space, but can be heard while showering at other end of cabin. Eventually it will leak which is very bad when rain catchment is only source of water. Don’t trust it to stay shutoff from back pressure. It merely cuts off and back on repeatedly. Had to wire manual shutoff switch to overcome issue. Without the manual switch it would cut until pump shorted out, popped fuse or drained solar charged battery. Wiring harness shorts out at pump; typically after you have soaped up and need to rinse off. So naked repairs may be your future if using this pump. Overall, it is good while it lasts, but when it fails I will be replacing it with a quieter more reliable pump with a similar flow rate.

I had to return the first one ordered, and the second one came missing parts also. The pump itself looks to be of good quality, but we never tried either of them because the connectors that are pictured, and which are mentioned in the description, we're not included with either of the two that were shipped to us. There are no options to order this item without such connectors, so it's definitely not my mistake. The seller did reward me with a full refund, and I was able to order another brand at the same price, which did arrive as pictured and described.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have yet to buy any Camplux product that didn't meet or exceed expectations. This has really good output and durability

It was a little difficult to get setup since all it wanted to do is leak thru the connections.. Even using teflon tape to try and help it out.. eventually, i got it to seal and stop leaking. I was impressed when I went upstairs (in my trawler) and turned on the water how much pressure it had.. Just as good as a 100.00 water pump i ot on amazon that lasted a whopping 39 days.

Fitted in my camper and works well.

Très bon

Used in conjunction with Camplux instant hot water shower, good pressure.

Recieved the pump in August 2021, installed in remote camp in September 2021. Winterized it in middle of November 2021. Motor seized in spring of2022. Thought if I paid a more significant price the quality may be better. Also disapointed only a 90 day return and no warenty.

No longer pumps after 99 days of purchase.... Didn't even use it that long. No warranty...buyer beware.
