Greetings. I've been using a Shurflo Revolution 12V pump to push water to my cabin kitchen sink and shower for a few years now. It's worked okay, but now I'm looking into getting an AC pump (even though I am told they're less efficient than DC pumps).

I'm looking for a quiet pump, at least as powerful as the Shurflo Revolution, and robust. Of course, it should be a demand pump so it's not running all the time.

Does anyone have any recommendations for AC water pumps that fit this bill?

Thanks.

PS

Spillenger Shurflo makes a 115v pump. I think it's the 2088?

Seems identical to the revolution but a different motor. so you could easily swap it over.

I have both the 12v revolution and the 2088. the nice thing about the 115v is it seems to be a little more powerful.

both are amazing pumps. i've now frozen both of them and they still run. tho the revolution did leak for a bit (frozen solid once / partially once). but amazingly healed itself.

not sure how that happens.

Thanks, Creeky. Is this the model you're referring to?:
