The pumps are electrically the same, or remain within RV (10A) controller limits. No mods, in fact it was a simple swap as the positive line has an inline fuse that unplugs so I could just unplug that on both and connect between the two. The black (neg) line has a spade going into the water pump controller, just had to add that on the new pump.Neal,
is the amperage draw similar between the two pumps? Did the 5 gpm pump require any electrical mods?
You're overthinking! Pressure is set based on pump Pressure, not atmospheric Pressure.24 hours later, new campground, haven't touched a thing, accumulator remains offline, I'm actually very pleased with this pump. Pressure is instant, no issues with needing time to prime, sound has calmed (or I have calmed) and all is good.
For those with an accumulator though, a concern is high elevation. Take for example you're going to Angel Fire, NM with nearly 9K elevation. How is this going to affect your accumulator tank? I'm guessing you should remove the pressure from it prior to going to higher elevations? Colorado even. I don't know if it will release excess pressure automatically or not.
