    Pressure pumps

    I'm on the lookout for a 12V pressure pump for my new water tank in the 130. It needs to fit down the side of the seat near the rear doors. Preferably with an on-off switch, but not essential as I can wire an isolation switch in.

    Mostly for simple filling of water bottles etc, but also the occasional show up the beach.

    Any suggestions on models/suppliers?

    Have a look at either caravan supply places or marine chandlers. The latter would probably have the more up market, but I would expect a big overlap.

    Flo-jet, or Shurflo (?) Commonly used on spray carts (etc.)

    Come in a variety of flow rates, can even have pressure switch models that will shut off when you close the valve, and start the pump when you turn on the valve.

    So the flow rate is a balance betwwe waiting forever for a bucket to fill up and having all your water disappear in the time it takes to wash your hands !

    Anyone have (from experience) any recommendations regarding a suitable flow rate for a vehicle mounted tap?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I'm sure my Flo Jet is 4.5 l/min and that is plenty for general water demand. Not for a shower though.
