I need a rv water pump with automatic shut off at pressure for winterizing my cabin, suggestions?

If you are running a 12-volt system, you can run this pump. It generates good pressure and smooth flow with less noise than cheaper pumps. It stops when the tap is turned off. Good by me.

This pump has an automatic pressure shutoff. I think it would work fine for your purpose.

I purchased a Coleman 120v Electric Quickpump, it was $20 at Menards. You can also find them in sporting goods stores and maybe Walmart. They are great for inflating airbeds, water floating toys, and work good for these pools. I have purchased a battery operated one but don't recommend as the air flow is not as strong, plug in ones are best.

All you need are the proper terminals and an inline fuse at the battery. I would recommend at least 12 gauge wire (thicker for longer runs) which can be wire-nutted to the pump. The pump must be no higher than 6 feet above the lowest possible water level to properly self-prime. The sink or shower should not be significantly higher than the pump, this will reduce pressure. As for the on-demand water heater: the highly variable pressure/flow may cause mis-operation or temperature variations.

There are all kinds of them on Amazon, it all depends on how much space you have and how much you want to spend to get the kind you need. If you don't already have one, you will need an appropriate switch and wireing for the switch. You will want to be able to use the pump manually as well as aotumatically. Unless you keep your boat in the water all the time, almost any switch amazon carries should suffice. Depending on what kind of boat you have and how you use it, you may not even need a float switch, but it is always better to have one if feel you need a pump for safety's sake.

I think you also must consider this one: from Blackburn http://www.blackburndesign.com/pumps/mini-pumps/wayside-hybrid-pump.html#.VB5gvPl5Oa8

No, no auto shutoff. You could pehaps put a timer on the water-supply hose.

no, you'll need some sort of holding [non pressurized tank] for this pump, then use an RV water pump booster (about 100+ dollars) to pressurize the pressure tank, use a std water well pressure switch to turn on/off this booster pump....

We used an air compressor also. It is a pretty big float for a manual pump but one would work. as said by others, your pump would need a pointed end. This is our second season and just filled a couple days ago. Great for keeping you above water while it's still a little brisk.

A regular electric pump will work but it will take a while. We used them on a popular river so a place that rents them out let us use his pump. It worked a lot faster.

E, I am in Massachusetts where freezing is plentiful in the winter. I have float type pumps on our gas furnace and air conditioner. I bought and installed this pump on my portable dehumidifier in the basement, to save me from hauling the water-filled container up stairs and outside every day in our humid summers+. This pump's action is triggered by the float in the reservoir. I ran the (included) tubing up overhead and down to the liquid drain pipe for the washing machine. Been working like a charm, saving my 75 year old legs and back... Go for it.Jim B, Cape Cod

Home Depot sells this pump. You can check there. If not, try Waynepumps.com. Hope this helps.

Grey Beard makes another pump model called The Baron, which is designed for oil. That model should work for your need.

Nomal for this system. I forget how I found it but on theb site it has a nice manual describing the function. You may want to consider using the time clock function and turn the pump off at night. Unless you need hot water at night at least early in the AM you would get cold water.

Yes, it will. We use ours at our mountain cabin which is unheated when we are not there. We go there once a month or so (it is located at 5600'). When we leave the cabin in the winter, we antifreeze the unit by running RV antifreeze through it because you cannot drain it completely and it's tubing is small enough that water freezes in it. We have not had any damage to the unit by using this method. We used to use the Coleman unit but went through 5 or 6 of those due to freezing problems. You might be better off with a Zodi. Water can be blown out of them easily but they don't work nearly as well as the Mr. Heater unit. Yes, it will. We use ours at our mountain cabin which is unheated when we are not there.

You need to have both power cords plugged into each other for the automatic shut off. If you are only going to use one plug it has to be the one with the metal thing on the top. I you are referring to low water output you may need a fatter hose.

Any pump that you would use to blow up an air mattress, I think should work ok. Not sure on this.

I use this pump primarily for winterizing our trailer, but I will tell you that this pump delivers more pressure than what I am getting in the trailer. I would say it will do well for increasing pressure provided their is enough water supplky for the pumps demand. Also the auto sutoff works great. Turn a faucet on the pump turns on, turn th aucet off the pump gos off.
