Like my electrical system, just to make things a bit more digestible, I decided to split up the installation of my water system into a few short videos, then later down the line I’ll do an overview video of the entire system.
It might seem like a bit of a strange place to start with the water pump, but it made sense in my head.
In this video I mount both the water pump and the accumulator and then fix some 12mm water pipe across the van ready to be hooked up to my tap and shower system.
I then looked at wiring the pump up to a simple on/off switch as it doesn’t need to be turned on unless I need it.

Really useful to see this stuff being fitted end to end as I'm about to do it. One question about the fuse, on my Shurflo it called for a 5A fuse and that it be slow blow and also said you needed to ensure the switch could take 15A. Both of these are related to the inrush. I saw you used a 15A fuse - is that what your pump said you needed?

Thanks for the message! If I remember rightly, it recommended a 15A fuse in the Shurflo documentation, so I just went with that 👍

Your pipe clips will fit correctly with the saddle on the back. Your pump could have been 7ltrs/min not 10, which would have balanced better with the psi on your accumulator.

So why no filter in front of the pump?

@GreenHornCountryClub 10 ай бұрын

Adding a filter is definitely an option, I just personally didn’t feel like I needed one. I’m always filling up directly from the tap and only use the water to was dishes and shower with. If I’m ever concerned about the water quality, I do have some water purification tablets too.

@@GreenHornCountryClub it's about the small particles that will affect the pump's membrane. It will not work anymore after 2-3 years.

Did you put the black cable from the pump to the fuse box and another one (black) from the switch to the fuse box. They both in the same terminal ? Thanks for your video 👍
