How big is the tubing on a SHURflo water pump?
The manual recommends 1/2 inch tubing so I removed all the smaller 3/8 tubing and connectors and replaced with 1/2 inch. I used black sprinkler fittings that have threaded 1/2 inch make on one side and barbed male 1/2 inch to insert into new hose to connect to tank and one to hose bib.
Which is better SHURflo 2088 or 4088 water pump?
The 2088 was rated at 2.9 gal/min, the 4088 at 5gal/min. The Pump heads appear very similar, the motor on the the new is considerably larger occupying a good 4in more in length. Rubber mount is very flexible. This pump is noisier than the OEM (bigger motor, more volume Duh) but not too objectionable.
What makes the Shurflo Revolution water pump so good?
