What to Consider When Choosing Your RV & Motorhome Water Pumps

Outfitting your RV or motorhome with the right pumps ensures reliable water delivery for showers, taps, and onboard appliances. This guide breaks down the main pump types, their key differences, and the essential accessories you may need.

Water Pumps

Water pumps are the heart of any RV or motorhome freshwater system. When choosing the right pump, consider the following:

1. Flow Rate

   Flow rate determines how much water the pump can deliver per minute. Larger motorhomes with multiple taps, showers, or appliances need higher LPM (litres per minute).

2. Pressure Switch

   Automatic pressure switches start and stop the pump depending on tap use, maintaining consistent pressure and protecting the pump from overuse.

3. Voltage

   Most RV water pumps run on 12V or 24V DC, powered by your vehicle battery. Some pumps can also run on AC when connected to campsite mains electricity.

4. Number of Outlets / Taps Supported

   Choose a pump that can handle the number of taps, showers, or appliances used at the same time. Larger RVs need higher-capacity water pumps to maintain pressure across multiple outlets, while smaller campers can use lower-output pumps.

5. Conclusion

   Choosing the right combination of pumps and accessories ensures a reliable water system in your RV or motorhome. For help selecting the perfect products, contact our team today, we’re here to make your water system worry-free on every adventure.
