Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Shurflow 5.7 low pressure


My Shurflow water pump us not so sure.  It seems to operate fine as far as cycling on and off, but there is not enough pressure at the shower.  The faucets and the tub flow pretty good even though you can tell there is not much pressure, but the shower just does not have enough pressure.  Is there a way to adjust the pressure set point of the pump or should I be checking for something else.  If I do replace the pump what would be a good replacement pump.  I am not hearing anything good about the Shurflow 5.7.

 

Thanks.

Mark

Had 3 5.7s with poor results. You can adjust pressure though. As I recall there is an end cap with 5 screws in it (one on each corner and one in the middle). The pressure can be increased or decreased by turning the middle screw. Its been about 5 years since I had one so I think that's how I remember it. My problem was overpressure which made my lines leak, so I always turned it down.

I did not have a pressure regulator so I was afraid to connect to the campground supply.  I just filled the tank and used the water pump.  Today I got a regulator and found I had the same problem connected to water.  Tore apart the shower head and and removed the rubber washer for the low flow regulator and it works fine.  Thanks for the help.
