SEAFLO Submersible Inline Pump 12V 280GPH Transfer Pump Water Resistant High Pressure Washing Water Diesel Pump For RV Marine Boat Caravan

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this SEAFLO pump work with my caravan or boat in Australia?

Absolutely. The SEAFLO 280GPH is specifically designed for RVs, boats, caravans, and marine applications. It operates on 12V DC power (standard in most caravans and boats), making it ideal for Australian conditions. Whether you're parked at a caravan park or anchored offshore, this pump handles water transfer, circulation, and drainage tasks reliably. The water-resistant design and vibration-free operation make it perfect for Australian outdoor adventures.

How long can I run this pump continuously?

The SEAFLO 280GPH can operate for approximately 20 minutes continuously on a single charge or power cycle. This is sufficient for most water transfer tasks in RVs, boats, and caravans. For longer operations, allow the pump to rest between cycles to prevent overheating. The 4.5 Amp current draw means it won't drain your 12V battery excessively, making it practical for portable use.

Can I use this as both a submersible and inline pump?

Yes, that's one of the standout features. The SEAFLO pump functions as either a flooded suction water supply pump or an inline booster pump. The removable black filter screen on the base allows you to switch between modes depending on your needs. For submersible use, simply submerge it in water. For inline operation, remove the strainer and connect it to your water line. This dual functionality gives you maximum flexibility for different pumping applications.

What's included and how easy is it to install?

You get one SEAFLO 280GPH pump with a 5-metre cable and alligator clips for battery connection. Installation is genuinely straightforward—just connect the alligator clips to your 12V power source (battery or vehicle system), and you're ready to pump. The compact design means it fits into tight spaces common in caravans and boats. No special tools or plumbing knowledge required, making it ideal for DIY setup.

What's the flow rate and is it suitable for high-pressure washing?

This pump delivers 280 gallons per hour (GPH), which is solid for water transfer and circulation tasks. It's rated for high-pressure washing applications, making it versatile for cleaning caravan exteriors, boat decks, or general water transfer needs. The specifications include a 7.5A fuse rating, 13mm ID hose compatibility, and CE approval, confirming it meets international safety standards.

Is this pump quiet enough for use in a caravan or camping?

Yes, the SEAFLO features a quiet motor with vibration-free operation, making it ideal for camping and caravan use.
