I agree. Using DIP switches and pots on an item that is likely to be buried in the undercarriage makes no sense to me. If they don't want to use a wireless protocol for some reason, they could use a wired control panel that could be installed inside.

I have one, which I installed. Once set, there’s no reason to change the settings. And it’s not “buried in the under carriage”-it’s within a 2 or 3 feet of the pump. Mine is easy to reach, just inside the cabinet in which the pump is located, if I want to change any settings.

Perfect timing! I'm converting a box truck right now and this will be a great idea! Thanks!

You always do such a great job of presenting the information. Thanks

Interesting piece of gear. Thanks for sharing the ins and outs Jared!

I had the IRVWPC on our previous camper almost a year and really appreciated having it to smooth out the pump along with the safety features. I’ve also had an accumulator tank and I much prefer the IRVWPC controller. I will be getting another one for our new camper.

Just what I need. Thanks for the detailed info!

My motorhome has a well rubber mounted pump, and then a very insulated compartment along with a 1 1/2 gallon expansion tank so I don’t have any of the issues that you were talking about with it. Thank you for the video.

Nice review, thanks. They should move the dip switches to a remote panel for easy access.

I just ordered the IRVWPC today after seeing this video. We boon dock and something like this is much needed since the chugging pump gets super annoying. Thanks for the information!

I have had the IRVWPC for about a year now, and I can't stop telling folks about it. It is one of those products that people generally don't know about. If you boondock this thing is great, if you are always connected to water, then don't get it. IMHO. What I have found is that not only does it make the pump quieter, but It can help from getting the cold/hot spurts when you shut off the shower to lather up your hair, and turn the water back on. It helps to keep you from being scalded or froze. I also found out that if the spouse turns on a facet while you are in the shower, it will help keep you from being scalded or froze. When boondocking, you can get a nice trickle of water to wash your hands, or a plate, with out the on/off/on fast/slow/fast stream of water. I also think they really need to re-invent the name. I think it would get a lot more traction in sales.

Thanks for all you great information!

I bought this unit for our Airstream 30 ft and have had the same positive results as you, and the same dip switch frustrations. I must add the owner /engineer is a super tech and so helpful on sales and service. I sure hope this stays that way and he like others is not bought up by the BIG GUYS that do not answer the phone or an email. I have asked him about Blue tooth in the future so those settings could be done on a App. And I understand that R&D cost could be prohibitive to keep it priced right for us end users. I appreciate your Video review as I tried an Air Forums post and got the usual Naaaa I like hearing the banging pump. For you reading this I am a HUGE fan of this product. For you layman not into automotive pulse width modulation think of IRVWPC operation as a dimmer switch smooth from off to full bright or anywhere in between unlike a light switch BANG! Full on Full off.

Our water pump is below a closet about in the middle of our 27' Airstream. Since using this device (IRVWPC), the water pump is much, much quieter and the water pressure is better. Sometimes, when my wife is in the shower, I have to listen to tell if the pump is running. I believe that the people that their water pumps in their living area and complain about the cost would have a different opinion if they ever got to experience using it. It's been a game changer for us.

I wonder how well this would work with a RV water accumulator tank?

Going to look into this! Quieter is always nicer!!😁

Interesting, but too pricey now. Hopefully these good ideas will work into more common units.

Good review. Seems we solved problems that didnt really exist....especially when my pump costs less than 100...

Good informative review, but I'm such an airhead sometimes that I think I need a good and noisy water pump to remind me to shut it off when not in use. LOL

To eliminate two of the three issues, get a SeaFlo (or equivalent) accumulator. Hook it, inline, with your pump's outlet (so, pump outlet, accumulator, RV water system) and set it to about 2-3 psi below your pump's cutoff pressure. This will smooth out your water flow, eliminating pulsing of the pump. And only turn it on to recharge the accumulator. It doesn't do much if you have your water on full-blast, but with less flow, the pump will run less often, but in longer bursts to do a full accumulator recharge. It should increase your pump's longevity too.

@littlechicago7482

From the manual "The most efficient use of the accumulator occurs with the pre-charge set at the SAME pressure as the pump’s pressure switch “turn on” setting. Typically, a 45 psi [3 bar] pump will turn on around 30 psi [2.07 bar]. Therefore, the pre-charge should also be30 psi [2.07 bar]. The pre-charge MUST be set in a “static” condition (pump off and at least one water fixture opened).

Thanks always bring new item to make our rv safe. A bluetooth app would sweet to Flick the settings easy. My pump is so load its not funny

Wow the IRVWP controller has some great features. We replaced our Sureflo with a SeaFlo and WOW it is quiet. From my experience I now think of the Sureflo as the knockoff of the Seaflo. For less than 10% more in cost it was worth it.

Thanks so much for your review of this, Jared! I wonder how much noise reduction this would provide if an accumulator tank were used with the water pump. From what I've seen, such tanks reduce the frequency of the water pump cycling, but it seems that they would still make a lot of noise when the pump runs.

@AllAboutRVs

Жыл бұрын

Good question! We had an accumulator tank before and it does help with reducing the short cycles on low flow but didn’t change how loud the pump is. This changed the sound enough to where I had been thinking of getting an accumulator tank again before we got this to test and now it’s not necessary. You could do both and they can work fine together but with as smooth as the pump sounds now it’s fine on it’s own.

I have installed a Seaflo pump, Seaflo accumulator, and an IRVWPC. Super quiet. I do believe having the accumulator tank does help to reduce the amount of time the pump needs to run. To me, as I'm converting a box truck, it made sense to build in all three up front. I'm glad I did.

Woohoo add more CPUs that can break. From a RV Tech perspective this is lunacy just to have a little peace and quiet when you may or may not be boondocking.

Hi Jared, I just received mine and I wanted to ask where I can source one of those 90° connectors I saw on the inlet side of you pump hose. That strainer has that special fitting and I've not been able to find a 90° elbow that has that compression fitting applied. Wondering if you can help. Thanks and I've seen just about every video you guys have produced and I've learned a lot. See you on the road : )

In the past I had to tinker with the two small adjustment screws on my Shurflo pump (bypass & pressure) - will that possibly impact the performance of this unit if the pump isn't at its "factory setting"?

Jared, where did you find the information on setting the dip switches, and the other details for maximizing the use of this thing? Thanks.

I'm always watching your videos with high interest but this one honestly is a too much a nice to have gadget. I like to hear the sound of the pump; with today trailer manufacturing quality issues, I prefer to control the pump myself from the panel switch. Recently we got the kitchen hot connection broken and I was alerted by the pump and was able to stop it in less than 15 sec; waiting for 5 minutes would have been too much! I turn off the pump every night and every time we leave the campsite when boondocking same as I always turn off city water when leaving RV park site, just my opinion but in many cases I'm always looking at the the simpler, the better ...

Most water pressure regulator gauges are liquid filled, is it safe to store these in the RV cargo hold during sub zero weather?

Jared Have you noticed any problems with electrical interference with this unit? Like causing LED lights to flicker? Just curious since many devices are not designed and tested for this.

Agree with other comments, it would be worth the price if it had Bluetooth or WiFi for remote shut off.

Is there a part number on the pressure sensor by any chance?

Great video. Do you have a discount code for the purchase of the IRVWPC? 😁

Having our water pump under the bed the reduction in noise would be very beneficial but currently waiting for for a second edition and hopefully a price reduction.

This is already a 3rd edition, from what I can tell. I got mine last summer and installed it in June. It works extremely well. I wouldn’t look for a price reduction, though.

What is the reset process after the five-minute shut off?

Thanks for doing the review. It will be something to add to the wish/watch list. I like the concept and design. I however agree with other comments, if they would add Bluetooth and the ability to manage the unit and see history at a very similar price point, it would be a true must have.

cool gadget. now if only they made a remotely operated valve for your city water connection so that you could easily turn it off and on from inside your rig when you leave for the day.

I just installed a higher quality pump stuck inside a mineral-wool rectangle (with air gap) for sound deadening and a small pressure tank that eliminates the constant on-off switching. This would not give me enough additional benefits to justify the cost.

Seems like it would be pretty simple to just wire up switches into the dip switches

Kind of related, I’m looking for a way to conserve water, I need hot water when I shower, does anyone sell a system that has a valve in the shower that is momentary, you need to hold it open by hand and it will connect the hot water line to send water back into the FW holding tank, even better if the button you press would heat up so you can feel you have hot water at the shower valve.

Actually, I found that the IRVWPC does save water. My small 20 gallon tank used to last me 4+ days of boondocking, which includes showers every other day. After I installed the IRVWPC, my water lasts 6+ days. I attribute that to not turning up the faucets as high, which I tended to do to stop the pump knocking as much. Now if I just want a little water, like to wet a toothbrush, that’s all I use. I was frankly surprised at how much less water I used after installation.

$169 Bidenbucks is a little steep, but since it's not a mass produced unit by someone like Lippert, it's understandable. I'm going to put this on my list. Thanks. I have an issue where my pump takes a good 15 minutes to prime. I need to investigate that before adding something like this, though.

Why not, at this price, just get a variable speed pump? Aren't they basically doing the same thing?
