This is a very handy tip, especially if you don't want to over-pressure your pipes in an old RV which expects only 35 psi. A small leak may stop when over-pressure is reduced. That pump is set for 55 psi, at least thats what it says it can push on the box. Maybe check the docs to see if it's set lower from the factory. Generally, I read that there's a middle screw between two switch case holding screws. Some are inside I gather. They may work counterclockwise to reduce pressure, I'm not sure so check.

I would be very leery about breathing the output of a cheap compressor made of who knows what materials are being pushed into your lungs.
Awesome! I just bought my first sailboat (or any boat at all) and am over at Terrace View. Had her dropped in there at Blue Springs, though. I see that this is from years ago, but hope to see y'all out there. <salute> Jason [SV Breezy (27' Starwind)]
Blue Springs has a great sailing community. The guy I was racing with is still there Dick Delfrate. Great guy. If you need a hand learning he’s the guy and loves to help. You’re not going to see me out there. I do still have friends there but I sold the Hare after being a liveaboard and cruising for 10 years.
From the video, it appears you’re close to the middle of the body of water. If speeding boats are a problem, why not get closer to one side? As for them slowing down, you’re in a big boy boat, not a small flat bottom fishing boat. Grow up.
I was anchored in a cove where it is very popular to do so. At the deepest point it’s 20’ and shallows quickly. How about find something better to do than make stupid comments on random videos when you weren’t there. This isn’t a one time incident. People in boats like that, wake boats and others who don’t anchor out are very inconsiderate and no matter where you go. Obviously you have no experience with this.
You said before seaflow is good not its not 😂😂😂
It was good till it almost sank my boat. That why I changed the title and made a second video. To warn others.. not sure what funny about that.
i want to buy one seaflow pump. Maybe, i have to buy a contactor for VDC, this keeps the pressure switch free of the charge. Do you think that is a good idea?
My opinion don’t buy Seaflo pump. Spend a little more money and get a Shurflo.
@@SVWildHare I'm wondering what makes Shurflo better? What are the differences? (I'm on the market for a pump and I've been looking at the Seaflo 55 series.)
I've had multiple pumps running in my boats, RV and farm. There is no better more solid pump on the market. Unfortunately people are not always "up front" about the issues they are having AND the reasons they are having them.
It's all about the prep, I'm doing now to a camper but it's tough, cause it's needs to be clean as heck. Looks good,
It held up for a couple of years before starting to get yellowed and finally peeled off. Looked good while it was on there.
Thank you for the observations...I was going to purchase one of these but now I will just reinstall the original coupling.
I just don’t think it’s worth the money.
As I’m watching I have to comment on you not screwing down the bottom two. That extra vibration will cause wear on the pump. A proper install nets a long life.
Also did you use an in-line fuse? At the end your music was drowning out what you were saying. Great video all in all sir. I got same pump and only watched your video because it said “Don’t” and I’m like yes DO! This pump is amazing!
@@livingproof9622 Good luck with the longevity of that. Yes it was fused and yes it was screwed at the bottom before I started the video. I’ve also had people comment about the fact that it was mounted on its side which is absolutely irrelevant. The contacts completely burned up in it, melted the housing and caused the pump to run continuously draining out all my freshwater in the Bahamas. You get what you pay for.
Very short-lived, only 2 years old. The manufacturer does not accept warranty service. Membranes hardened, water leaked, bearings rusted.

Greetings, thank you for this video. My 5 cats and I are in the process of moving into our medium shuttle bus. I'm still working first-shift for a hospital, full time. I'm looking forward to more adventure in my life as I turn 52 later this Summer. Bless you.
I only ended up traveling for a few months and never completed the bus but I had a great time. Took a job that pays extremely well and allows me to travel domestically pretty much all the time. Best wishes.
I have a new one on a boat I just bought. No pressure, but it sounds like it's trying to pump. Does the pressure switch cause it to not run at all, or fail to produce pressure when it runs? I'm not happy
Pressure switch simply turns it on and off at a certain pressure. Basically it’s a diaphragm with a spring that is adjustable. If you don’t have enough pressure you probably need to get a higher GPH pump
@@SVWildHare What is needed is to have it clarified what you mean by "turn it on and off." I see some things which suggest the pump motor keeps running, but it no longer is pumping. But "off" to me, suggests the pump motor and everything shuts down. And when I say "no pressure," I mean NO pressure. As in zero.
@@stellijer maybe check your supply line from your tank.
Good stuff! So what is your bridge clearance on your boat? I have a 47’ clearance and wanting to know if I can go from Knoxville to Mobile. Thanks
With everything stripped off the top it was 51 feet. You’ll be fine.
The one I ordered malfunctioned from the get-go. It would not go beyond 30 psi, and it is supposedly rated at 55 psi. The only way I can get the pressure switch to work was to adjust it down to about 25 psi, and that's pretty dismal water pressure, particularly for a shower. Once I raise the water pressure back up to 30 (again the max I could get), the pump would not shut off. I'm going to try a second one, but I agree these pumps are not all they're cracked up to be
Is not full installed until you bleed. Blood, sweet and tears = the labour of love.
There is a rag in the background that has the blood and I can assure you in the decade that I owned that boat there was plenty of sweat and tears involved also. 😁
@@SVWildHare I have seen it. I’m doing the same. I’m actually about to buy a sigmadrive. Because of lack of room to install a PSY “pss “ on a Ohlson 38.
