Good am all,
We had another great weekend on the boat and I finally confirmed that my
fresh water pump is the culprit on the leak I've had for a couple months.
Easier to fix than finding a leak in the hoses or at a joint somewhere..
The Pump is the original Jabsco with diaphragm and plunger looking thing
model 500736 I believe.
I only have 3 outlets on board so the extra capacity models can be
excluded. Also, I don't really want to up the pressure as I don't want to
have to re-wire for more amps and I don't want to overstress the aging
plastic connections (I've replaced a few already... Not fun)
So that leaves us with the 3.0 GPM range automatic pumps 6 amps or so
draw, 40 or so PSI I'd like something quieter and less pulsating would be
nice. I have seen an accumulator in the aft sail locker but I don't think
it's connected, it was probably working in tandem with the missing water
heater..(Yet another project there) .
Even narrowed down, there is still a bewildering array of brands,
technologies, and prices..
Any suggestions and prior experience wisdom is much appreciated..
