Aqua 8 pump 7 or 10 litre?

Post by Sir Brixalot »

Just about to buy one. Fiamma offer two sizes 7 litre and 10 litre. They appear to be the same size. I've currently got a 7ltr, is there any reason why I shouldn't go for a 10ltr?

Pumps.
It's all about delivery
Pressure or flow.
Most pumps I have worked with offer 5 litre per min and 100 psi.
Most converters of vans use 30 psi.

If you can afford it, a 100 psi pump (max) will be the best.
@ £80 money well spent.

Depends what you need it for. Just a sink tap? Then a 10ltr will fill a kettle quicker but will use more water if you just want to rinse your hands.

Probably for rinsing etc, I've never used it for drinks in thd 4 years ive owned it . The sureflo Shurflo 8000-946-138 12v Pump 100 PSI looks good. Anyone know if its a straight swap or will pipes need changing. Thanks
