The Shurflo Aqua King II is a reliable, high-performance freshwater pump often used in marine, RV, and similar applications. It’s designed to provide consistent water pressure and flow for various onboard water needs, such as sinks, showers, and other water fixtures. Here’s a breakdown of its features and specifications:
Key Features:
High Performance:
- Delivers high water flow and pressure, often rated between 3.0 to 4.0 GPM (gallons per minute) at pressures up to 55 PSI (depending on the model).
- Suitable for multiple fixtures running simultaneously.
Automatic Operation:
- Equipped with a built-in pressure switch that automatically turns the pump on or off based on water demand.
- Provides smooth, consistent water pressure.
Quiet Running:
- Designed with a sound-dampening base and improved components to minimize noise and vibrations during operation.
Durability:
- Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials for long-lasting use in marine environments.
- Thermally protected to prevent overheating.
Self-Priming:
- Can lift water up to 6 feet (vertical height) from the water source, making it versatile for various installations.
Run Dry Capability:
- Safe to run dry without immediate damage, enhancing its resilience in case of water supply interruptions.
Typical Use Cases:
- Marine Use: Onboard water systems for boats and yachts.
- RV Use: Providing water pressure for showers, sinks, and other fixtures.
- Off-Grid Use: In small cabins or solar-powered systems requiring water pumping.
Installation Notes:
- Ensure proper wiring and voltage (commonly 12V or 24V models available).
- Mount the pump on a stable surface to reduce noise and vibration.
- Use an inline filter to protect the pump from debris in the water supply.
Maintenance:
- Regularly inspect for leaks or wear.
- Clean or replace the inline filter to ensure optimal performance.
- Check electrical connections periodically for secure contacts.
