RV plumbing thoughts

[obert]

I put my new fixture in the other day with no probs. That I figured would be OK, but I originaly wondered how it would last in the mobile application. I now see from these great responces that it should be fine, save the fact that this was a convenience chioce, as well as a "frugal" choice. This will be a lesson on forgoton steps in winterizing, so perhaps any on other replacements, I might just buy for looks; buy for life... .

Ive been RVing for about 10 yrs and have learned a bunch from you guys. I am thinking about changing my Shur=flow pump because of the noise. Any sugestions?

I installed one of the new 5 chamber 60 PSI pumps that runs at lower speeds when demand is low (like one faucet running at low setting) and higher speeds when larger volume is required such as using multiple fixtures at the same time. The slower speed and smoother operation of the 5 chambers makes it much more quiet.

Also, I've heard there's a "quiet kit" available for sure flow pumps but i cant find any info or a place to buy one. Anybody have more info on these?

The quiet kit is basically a flex hose from the pump to the hard pipes.
