In Reply to: OT, camper water system posted by Leroy on July 04, 2015 at 06:35:46:

I have owned RV's over 40 years and was also a dealer some years back. In years past shut off pressures in the range of 30 to 30+ or so PSI for demand pump systems were fairly typical. HOWEVER in more recent years I have seen some (not all) pump brands and models increase that shut off pressure. If I recall (would have to go look) my current pump is 50 PSI.

YES provided the plumbing system and piping and fittings are ALL up to par????? it should withstand 60 PSI fine.

Some city water outlets at some RV parks may be HIGH like 70/80 or more PSI which is why I always use a water pressure regulator when I connect that limits the pressure to around 40 to 50 PSI.

NOTE AND WARNING However some RV water systems may be poor quality or over time the splices and fittings etc may have deteriorated plus I have seen those PEX or Gray Polybutelyne tubing fittings and splices (hose barb with crimp ring) start to LEAK grrrrrrrrrrr

BOTTOM LINE 60 PSI doesn't scare me and even decent quality RV piping should handle it just fine, BUT I DONT KNOW YOUR RV AND SURE CANT GUARANTEEE IT. However, if it cant handle 60 PSI it needs some repair or upgrades anyway, because if it cant handle 60 PSI it could sure have a problem eventually even at 40 PSI. I cant say what pipe your RV used, but wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't initially rated at like 100 PSI or more!!!!!!!!!! and if so and if its all okay, 60 PSI is not a problem

GIVE IT A TRY I like my RV;s that have had 40 to 50 PSI water pressure much more then the old ones that were 30 or so.

Maybe conduct some sort of a pressure test prior to the new pumps installation???

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
