FYI Mounting the Remco Aquajet water pump

[Joe Hogan]

The instructions specify mounting the pump horizontally. After reviewing the mounting surfaces, this makes sense.

"3. Determine the optimal location for the Aquajet RV. If possible, plan to position the Aquajet pump horizontally, with its rubber feet resting on a “floor-like” surface rather than mounted on a wall. Never mount the pump in an area where gasoline vapors are present, as the motor and heatsink of the speed-controller may get hot (up to 200° F) after extended running. Locate the Aquajet pump at least one inch away from any wall surface. In most cases, you’ll be able to mount the Aquajet pump very close to where the old pump was located. 4. Survey the existing plumbing and identify the suction line "

I'm aware of this and it is probably the preferred orientation for some reason. I mounted mine the same way Newmar mounted the flojet, vertical with inlets at the bottom and it's been working fine. I prefer not take up my wet bay space which I use for storing the sani-con hose, etc.
