Seaflo Water Pressure Pump 55PSI 12V DC Self Priming Water Pump 7.5 Amps Current Draw for RV Caravans Boats Lawn Campers Washing and Garden Irrigation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this pump suitable for Australian caravans and RVs?

Yes, absolutely. The Seaflo 12V DC water pressure pump is specifically designed for caravans, RVs, motorhomes, and camper trailers. With 55 PSI pressure and a 11.3 litre per minute flow rate, it's ideal for Australian touring vehicles where reliable water pressure is essential. The self-priming function with 1.8m suction lift means you can pull water from tanks without manual priming, making it perfect for remote camping locations across Australia.

How much power does this pump draw from my caravan battery?

The pump draws 7.5 amps at 12V DC, which is quite efficient for a pressure pump of this capacity. For most modern caravan battery systems, this is manageable during normal use. However, if you're running on a single battery with limited capacity, you may want to consider when you're using high water demand (shower, washing) to avoid flattening your auxiliary battery. It's ideal for caravans with dual battery setups or solar charging systems.

Can I use this pump for garden irrigation at home?

Yes, the Seaflo pump is versatile enough for home garden irrigation, lawn watering, and pressure washing applications. The 55 PSI pressure setting is suitable for sprinkler systems and garden taps, providing consistent water pressure for even watering across your garden. It's also used for caravan showers and water systems, so it handles various household pressurised water applications with ease.

What's included in the box and how easy is installation?

You'll receive the Seaflo pump unit, detailed installation instructions, and all essential fittings needed for setup. The pump features industry-standard 1/2" BSP inlet and outlet ports, making it compatible with most caravan and RV water system configurations. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge, though we recommend following the provided instructions carefully. Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this item, and if you need installation support, our 30-day returns policy gives you peace of mind.

How long will this pump last and what warranty does it come with?

The Seaflo pump comes with a comprehensive 3-year warranty, which is solid coverage for this type of equipment. The construction features corrosion-resistant valves and a Santoprene diaphragm designed for durability in harsh conditions. The run-dry capability means it won't self-destruct if the water source empties, and the quiet operation suggests a well-engineered unit. Many Australian caravan owners report getting 5+ years of reliable service from quality 12V pumps like this when properly maintained.

What's the difference between this 11.3 LPM pump and cheaper alternatives?

This Seaflo pump at AUD $120 offers several advantages over budget alternatives: the self-priming function with 1.8m suction lift eliminates manual priming, the double-chamber diaphragm design provides stable pressure, and the run-dry capability protects the pump when water sources empty. Many cheaper pumps lack self-priming or have lower suction lift, requiring you to fill the system manually each time. The 3-year warranty and inclusion of installation fittings also add real value. For Australian caravanners and boat owners, the reliability justifies the price point.

Can I return this if it doesn't suit my setup?

Yes, Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy, so if the pump doesn't work with your caravan or RV water system, you can return it within 30 days for a refund or exchange. This gives you confidence when purchasing online. Just make sure to check your water system's inlet/outlet ports (this pump uses 1/2" BSP fittings) before ordering, and review the installation instructions to ensure compatibility with your specific setup.
