My water pump has died.... at least it does nothing, and no water appears, 12V applied. Sigh.
I see everything from 20 dollar low volume stuff to three figure stuff. Somewhere in the middle I'm sure lies what I want. So far, 35 PSI 2GPM looks
reasonable. I can get at it, crawling under a built in bed.

Johnny,

For reference, the PAR 36800 that was OE is supposed to do a little over 3 at 40 psi.

I put in a 3 gpm pump at 40 PSI. Makes for a nice shower. What I really like. Is a small pressure tank for the pump. It stops the short cycling of the pump at low volume. That's better on the pump/switch. And I don't have to even turn the pump on to wash my hands, or flush the toilet. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
 
Thanks. I suspect the lower volume will suffice, I don't use the shower - even show venues have locker rooms.

35 psi 2 gallon 30 bucks. I have a small pressure tank kicking around here someplace, if I can find it I'll add it to the outlet. Only complaint
listed which was a concern is the barbs have casting lines. I'll pay particular attention to sealing the gozinta and gozouta.

For 12v Water pumps, check 'electronic goldmine.' They always have several listed at great prices.
