Self-Priming Water Pump
This motorized pump can be used as a direct replacement for any OEM RV or marine pump and lets you supply a smooth, consistent flow to the fresh water system in your RV, camper, or boat. The diaphragm-style pump has a self-priming design. The sealed, flexible diaphragm creates a vacuum that draws in the water, allowing the pump to self-prime. This design eliminates air pockets in the pipeline - also known as air binding - for a steady, uninterrupted stream of water to your faucet or other fresh water source. It has the ability to prime up to 6' vertically and 30' horizontally. The pump also features an internal check valve that prevents backflow contamination of your clean water supply.
The pump has been thoroughly freeze and thaw tested for up to 5 two-hour cycles, and it was tested with a higher pressure at shutoff than other water pumps.
Heavy-Duty Motor
The heavy-duty motor operates quietly without any disturbances and features ball bearings that enable it to have a long life. It doesn't have a rotating seal that will burn up, allowing it the ability to run dry without causing any damage.
The motor also has an integrated thermal breaker that interrupts operation when the motor becomes too hot in order to protect it from overheating. When the temperature of the motor drops, the breaker automatically resets.
Water-Resistant Design
This enclosed, water-resistant pump has sealed switches that keep moisture from getting in. The electrocoating finish withstands the effects of rain, snow, and other elements, preventing rust and ensuring long-lasting durability.
Installation
This water pump can be bolted down in multiple locations and positions. It can be installed above, below, or at the same level as the water tank, as long as the location is dry and easily accessible for maintenance. Mounting hardware is not included.
Once the pump is bolted down, insert the strainer on the inlet side. This strainer prevents bugs and debris from entering the pump. Then with the included swivel fittings, attach high-pressure hoses to the strainer and the outlet port for a tapered, watertight seal.
Finally, make your wire connections. The black wire is your live (or hotwire), the white wire is your neutral, and the green and yellow wire is your ground. Please note that a 15 amp switch and a 10 amp fuse (not included) are required.

Appreciate that etrailer warranted the first flow max RV pump I ordered: it was a disfunctional pump (leaked). I did have to pay additional $[XX] for return shipping of that original defective pump. However, the replacement 2nd pump they sent is working great (have had it installed a few days now) and is not leaking like the first one did. Their service at etrailer is a 5 star but the Flow Max Pump is only a 4 star for now. If it passes the test of time (atleast 3-5 years) then maybe it will get an additional star? Original pump lasted nearly 20 years before it went belly up.

Always great and easy doing business with etrailer. Products are always what I am looking for and customer service is top notch.

We went away over summer and the water pump worked very well. It is a great purchase and price :)
Thank you, etrailer!

Perfect replacement for the shureflo 20 88-422-144
by: Jody 08/31/2023
It was the right product. Instructions suggested use flexible water lines to help eliminate vibration so had to modify the original setup. But it wasn't anything a competent homeowner can't handle. Quieter than the old pump.
by: Anthony 10/11/2023
This water pump has worked well. It is much quieter than my old one, self pimes quickly and has run dry a few times with no harm done to it.
by: Richard 02/27/2024
Good price and fits and works as well as the Shur Flo that it replaced

I love the customer service and follow up I get from this company.

I believe this is an excellent replacement pump for our RV. To be honest, it came in the mail just today, so it is not yet installed, but everything I've read about this pump it should be just what we need.

We've had this water pump for a year now. It was easy to install in my Thor motorhome & it works great.
by: James10/06/2019
The Flow-Max was a shoe in for the old Shurflo pump which failed after eight years. I was very happy with that and it arrived in a nick of time. It also is much quieter the the Shurflo.
by: Richard S03/30/2020
Couldn't have been easier to swap out this new water pump for the old one in my 1996 Jamboree Sport without a hitch. Superior pumping performance than the old burnt out Sure flo 2088-403-144 that it replaced. I chose this pump because the 45psi pressure matched my old one and is what my system was designed to operate at most efficiently by it's engineers. The flow rate of this pump is slightly higher but seems the same in actual use. It draws slightly less amperage which is always nice as the battery lasts a little longer. This unit is almost silent in comparison to the old pump yet it keeps the system pumped up better. It doesn't even run constantly when I wash my hands like the old one did. It bolted right up and connected to the old hardware although I actually cut off the old brass 90º screw on connecters and installed a new pex 90º connecters because the 24 year old brass fittings were so corroded and the seal so dried out and compressed that I didn't want to take chances on it leaking and wanted the best, most reliable install possible. I am extremely satisfied and very happy with the initial functionality and quality of this water pump and would recommend it to anybody with a 45psi motorhome water system. I am now ready for many more years of happy camping.

one year later and the water pump is working as good as the day I put it in. I am very happy with this quality product.

Perfect replacement - easy to install. Works great
by: Theodore 11/04/2022
Works well, but the power draw will dim your lights or lessen voltage on other circuits on the converter while running. Water flow is great and is relatively quiet compared to other pumps.
by: Lee 08/04/2023
1 year still going strong
by: Charles 11/01/2022
We don’t use our water pump often but this unit is definitely more quiet than the original. Installation was straight forward and pump has worked well each time we’ve needed it.
Original unit lasted 14 years which is amazing so if this one lasts half as long I’ll be happy.
by: Francis 08/29/2022
As with other products I have ordered from etrailer, the pump was an exact fit and included everything I needed to replace the old pump. It's been working just fine. As usual, I am very happy with the service from etrailer. It's my go-to place for RV parts.
by: Kevin 06/16/2023
Hi, the delivery was a little slow, but I did finally receive the pump. I have not had time to install yet.
by: George12/30/2022
Excellent replacement, hookup was easy, like the filter on it and the pressure it has. Very pleased with this product.
by: Scott /07/11/2023
Just what we needed. Got here quickly. Installed and working.
by: Evan 09/22/2022
I bought this to replace our 17 year old OEM Shurflo in our small pop-up camper. This little pump was an easy installation, and after a season of use is still unbelievably quiet in operation compared to the Shurflo. It works great.

- What Type of Water Pressure Does Furrion Tankless Water Heater part # FR48SR RequireThe Furrion Tankless water heater part # FR48SR that you referenced requires a minimum water pressure of .32 gallons per minute. Which if you need a water pump installed on your setup the Flow Max part # LC689052 would be a really great option.
view full answer... - Recommended Fresh Water Pump for a 2022 Thor Windsport Motorhome For your 2022 Thor Windsport, I recommend going with the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3.0 Gallons Per Minute # LC689052. Typically when you're looking for a fresh water pump for your RV you're going to want to choose one that has between 40 and 70 PSI to optimize water flow, so with this being a 50 PSI unit you'll be right around the middle of the spectrum which is perfect. Anything over 70 PSI you can risk bursting your pipes, and anything below 40 PSI you'll likely not have...

- Replacement Water Pump Motor and Step Motor for 2003 GulfStream Friendship Quattro MotorhomeOn your 2003 Gulfstream Friendship Quattro, there are a couple of things I can help you with but not the outside mirror motors. I can help with the step motor and the water pump. For your water pump (since a motor isn't separate), I recommend the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3.3 Gallons Per Minute - 45 PSI # LC689052 if your current pump is powered by the coach batteries. If it is powered by shore power only, then I recommend the 115V option # LC689054. I've attached review...
view full answer... - Restart Pressure Rating of Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump 50 Psi - 12VDCI do have an option for you but Lippert was not able to provide the restart pressure for the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump part # LC689052. That said, I was able to find this info for a very similar pump, the Seaflo Diaphragm Pump for Boats and RVs part # SE58FR which has a restart pressure rating of 35 psi plus or minus 5 psi.
view full answer... - What Allen Key Is Needed for the Lippert FlowMax Fresh Water RV PumpHey Wayne, I'm not seeing anywhere on the Flow Max # LC689052 that has Allen heads and Lippert does not call out an Allen key anywhere, so I'm not too sure where it's needed - but, what you can do is just take an Allen set like # PT44ZR which has both SAE and Metric sizes, and just try different ones until one fits.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Flow Max RV Water Pump that Won't PrimeAnd you can hear it attempt to pump water? Here's what Flow Max states to check if their pumps won't prime: Check if the strainer is clogged with debris. Check if there is water in the tank or whether air has collected in the hot water heater. Check if the inlet tubing/plumbing is sucking air at plumbing connections - vacuum leak? Is the inlet/outlet plumbing severely restricted or kinked? Check proper voltage with the pump operating: + or - 10% Check for debris in the pump inlet/outlet...

- Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump Shutoff Test PressureHi Ken; I reached out to Lippert on this and they were unable to find the specific pressure from the # LC689052 testing. It is a large company and sometimes information gets lost across it with other brands like the Flow Max. I would say the pump is well built and we haven't had any reports of it leaking aside from a faulty one that was replaced under the 2-year warranty. The pump is going to operate at the 50 psi mark so when it drops below that it will turn on and then at 50-55 psi it...
view full answer... - Replacement for Shurflow 2088 403 144 RV Water PumpAlthough the Seaflo # SE58FR pump has a slightly lower flow rate (3.0 gpm versus 3.5 gpm for the Shurflo) it should still do a good job for you. Both pumps operate at 45 psi pressure, and have the same mounting dimension and are both compatible with a 1/2 inch hose. If you'd rather get closer to the original flow rate, the # LC689052 LCI Flow Max has a 3.3 gpm flow rate, operates at the same pressure and is compatible with the same hose diameter.

view full answer... - Are Replacement Gaskets Available For An Artis RV Water Pump you would need to reach out to the manufacturer in order to get a replacement gasket for your Artis Water Pump. If you can't get the gasket or decide that you just want to replace it instead then you'd want to go with the Seaflo Diaphragm Pump for Boats and RVs - Variable Flow - 3 GPM - 45 psi - 12V DC # SE58FR. It has the same 3 gallons per minute flow rate at 45 psi (your Artis is 40 psi) so you won't be sacrificing any performance. If you do replace your unit then I recommend checking...

- Is Modification Needed To Swap From An 8 Amp To 10 Amp Draw RV Water Pump No, there really shouldn't be any changes that you'll have to make switching from an 8 amp draw ShurFlo to the 10 amp draw HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201. I would just check the fuse rating to ensure it's rated for 10 amps. Your pump is either ran to the battery directly with an inline fuse holder # C58470-1 or ran to the DC distribution panel with a fuse in the panel. Other than that you'll be good to go swapping them out.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Low Pressure With A Flow Max RV Fresh water PumpThe first thing to always check is the power and ground when it comes to anything electronic. Double-check that you're actually getting a full 12 volts to the pump # LC689052 with a multimeter # PT89ZR. If not then the power source is the issue and can cause the the pump to partially work, like you've been experiencing. When you winterized your trailer last fall did you run all of the water out of the line? This pump is safe to run dry so you could empty the tank and turn on the pump...

- Troubleshooting Water Pump with Air Causing Spitting and SputteringThe Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3.3 Gallons Per Minute - 45 PSI # LC689052 sounds like it doesn't have a proper priming which it is designed to automatically do. There are some things to check in the owners manual that I've made a copy of to assist. Check each one of these suggestions one at a time to narrow down the possible causes. I'd also turn off the bypass to your hot water heater as that fitting may be the issue, so check it both ways.

- Correct Replacement for Shurflo 2088-422-144 Water PumpYes, the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump # LC689052 will be a good replacement for your Shurflo 2088-422-144 water pump on your camper. This pump can be used as a replacement for any OEM water pump so it will work out perfectly for you. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump # LC689052.

view full answer... - Water Pump Compatibility on Class A Motorhome CoachThere is not one fresh water pump that works for both 12V and 115V power by itself. Most coaches have a power inverter or converter that allows that one pump to work. The vast majority of coaches will use a 12V pump like the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 3.3 Gallons Per Minute - 45 PSI # LC689052 or the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump - 3 Gallons Per Minute - 55 psi # P25201. This will allow you to run off battery or shore power when your converter is turned on.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Shurflo 4008-101-E65 RV Water PumpIt does indeed should like a defective Shurflo 4008-101-E65 RV Water Pump and to replace this, the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump part # LC689052 would be an excellent option. They both have a 3 gallon per minute rating and operate on 12 volt power. The wiring will be the same, one goes to power and the other to ground. The main difference is the size so as long as you have space for the new pump (8" long x 5-1/4" wide x 5" tall) there will be no issues.
view full answer... - Runtime Of The Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump # LC689052Yes, the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump # LC689052 does have a runtime of 5 minutes on/10 minutes off so this will not be the best option if you plan on running the water for longer than 5 minutes with no breaks. We also carry the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201 which has similar specifications as the Flow Max but without the limited runtime.

However, we do carry the: -HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201, which is a direct replacement for your ShurFlo 2088-422-144. This water pump will produce 3 gallons per minute at 55 PSI, and has a maximum amp draw of 10A.

view full answer... - Comparing FlowMax and HydroMax Water Pumps to Replace ShurfloPicking between the Hydromax # P25201 and the FlowMax part # LC689052 comes down to two things basically. The Hydromax draws 10 amps but has a higher pressure rating at 55 psi whereas the FlowMax # LC689052 has a lower amperage draw at 8 psi and a lower pressure rating of 45 psi. So if power consumption isn't an issue I'd go with the higher rated pump, but if you are trying to conserve power for any reason I'd go with the lower rated pump.

It also uses the same 1/2 inch diameter hose fittings so it will be an easy replacement for you. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd...
