Freshwater Pump Difference High or Low Pressure?

[Marineduster]

I'm replacing a freshwater pump for my boat that has three fixtures. I've seen a Jabsco pump #30610-0092 or -0292 that would work. One is considered high pressure and the other low. Everything else is the same on them, but one is slightly more expensive.

What's the difference between the two (hi or low pressure) and what is the best application for a boat with three fixtures. Clarification on this would help as I'm replacing an old Sureflo 220-213-34 and I need to do it soon.

Thanks

The 092 is nothing more than a drain pump. It used for opened end flow applications similar to that of a bilge pump.

The 292 is an actual pressure pump like you would use in your home. It has a built in pressure switch which turns the pump off and on when needed. I use one of these for my washdown pump. This is the pump for your application

Dingbat - Thanks so much for your explanation. It's more than I could find on Jabsco's or Shurflo's sites and now allows me to order the right pump with confidence.
