Legendary Performance
SHURflo fresh water pumps have enjoyed a near legendary reputation for performance and longevity among recreational vehicle owners since the late 1960s, and they continue to set the standard for the industry with their Classic Fresh Water Pump. The standard model within the SHURflo 2088 Classic water pump series, the SHURflo Classic Fresh Water Pump features the same quality and dependability present in other models in the series, but in a pump designed for use with a dedicated 12-volt VDC power source. 2088 series pumps are intended for intermittent duty when the proper operating criteria are met. This means that the SHURflo Classic Water Pump is equipped to deliver high performance in the form of maximum water flow and pressure for onboard, sinks, toilets and showers, resulting in reliable performance each and every time you need it, wherever you go.

Low Amp Draw, Reliable Operation
SHURflo's Classic Potable Water Pump operates three independent pumping chambers which allows the pump to self-prime and lift water up to 12 feet, all the while drawing a maximum of 7 amps of power. This leaves sufficient battery power for other needs, and/or to avoid unnecessary battery drain. With smooth flow and uninterrupted operation, Classic Series pumps include a built-in check valve to prevent back flow into the tank, as well as preset shutoff pressure to prevent system overload of premature failure. In addition, pumps can be mounted in any position and conveniently feature an adjustable switch and the capability to run dry without damage to the pump or motor.

10 stars!!! We had one of these in an RV that we owned for 10 years and lived in for 5, often boondocking. It NEVER gave us an issue. When we moved to what was at the time a remote area of AZ, we chose to haul our water rather than drill 900 ft for a well because of arsenic content in the aquifer beneath us. I bought one of these pumps to transfer water from a 525 gallon water trailer that was also outfitted with 2-4 55 gal barrels depending on what our rain collection system needs were. The water was transferred to a 2500 gal above ground storage tank. It takes about 3 1/2+ hrs for the 525 gallons and another 40ish minutes for 2 ganged 55 gal barrels.That pump has been working faithfully for almost 6 YEARS straight! This is not a vacation home but a full time residence. I bought a very nice Grundfos with an internal pressure tank to supply our 1900sf 3 BR home that listed for $600 and paid $475 for. That little -422 has pumped EVERY SINGLE GALLON the Grundfos has over these years and the Grundfos just DIED yesterday!!! I set up the Grundfos to allow for quick change out if it became necessary. Am glad I did.Within 20 minutes, that little 2088 took on its new role supplying the WHOLE house! The demand switch works perfectly. There is a little drop in pressure if more than one tap is turned on and It does pulse trying to push water through a PUR faucet filter. That might be able to be solved with an accumulator. We might also have to make sure the washing machine fills adequately because of the washer's electro-mechanical timer, but it WORKS.I have silently swore for forgetting about this pump during water transfer, sometimes leaving that little diaphragm dry pumping like crazy for HOURS without a lick of water going through it. It is virtually indestructible from an operation perspective. I am proud of that little pump! It is thermally protected and there are cooling fins available for them, but even in 100+ degree temps I have never had the pump quit on me. It has also had to do duty in sub-freezing temps. Even the rubber base has survived the AZ sun and cold extremes.I had to replace the head assy on another one of these I use for irrigation because I dropped it and broke the output port. The head cost almost as much as the pump, but that is OK. It was still cheap to fix and a snap to replace. As long as the motor will work, you will have an inexpensive, easily repairable pump that is more capable than you could ever imagine.I am now pondering whether I should even fix the Grundfos. That is going to cost $200-$300, if it can be fixed at all. Am going to just let that little 2088-422-444 go until the DC motor won't operate any more. Meanwhile, am going to look into the SHURflo 5900-0211 5.7 Extreme Series Smart Sensor 5.7 Pump for a bump in pressure. I now have the benefit of being able to have water flowing during the many electrical outages at minimal cost and I expect my electric bill to go down, to boot. When that little pump dies, if it can't be fixed, it deserves to be buried with the utmost respect instead of tossed into the trash heap!
