WashDown vs WaterPump

[eminentguy]

Dears

my Jasco pressure-controlled pump is not working and due for replace and as am considering a Washdown system also, I thought I would buy the washdown system (Ex. ) and just use the same pump for the Basin and Shower 1 pump to supply water to all.

Am new to this part of boating and seeking advice please.

Option1: buy another pressure controlled Pump and using a T extension can connect the Washdown kit!
Option2: Buy the Wash down kit along with the pump and make T connection to the shower and basin.

i know washdown pump will have higher pressure and than pressure-controlled and will introduce more pressure on existing system! but i thought i can handle that


Finally, any advice on certain brands or models?


thanks all for the help in advance!

You're either gonna have a water system that will blow seals, or a washdown that won't wash squat ... :facepalm:

My boat uses two identical pumps, one for raw water wash down, one for the fresh water system. Both create 45 psi, if memory serves, and work fine.
