12 Volt water pump, Shurflo pump and Water Filter for filling RV Caravan tanks, or camping shower
Tricks, Ratschläge, Online, Reparieren, Landwirtschaft, Landwirtschaft Maschine
This is what I use to pump and filter water from the river while on our camping trips etc. It is a 12 volt water pump system, used to fill the RV tanks on our caravan, using the batteries from the RV caravan or 4WD vehicle for power. We don't run the van from this water pump, the RV pump does that, we just fill the RV tanks, then pack it away. This system works quite well and it does what I wanted it to do. It also works well as a portable camping shower, pumping from a drum filled with warm water and a hand held shower rose with a hose fitting. Note, I am not an electrician or an filter expert, The quality of this river water is quite good, water filters will not make contaminated water good to drink, you would need something like a Lifestraw Filter for that. I am happy with the way this works, If you are going to make something make sure what you do is safe for you and your kids, This is the way I have done it and the experts may not agree it is the way to do it. (Check that what you are doing will not harm you in any way, ask the people that know, eg: electrician and filter people, just so you feel confident). The 12v water pump, I used is a Shurflo pump 4009 Fresh Water Pump 12v 11.3Lpm The last filter in my system is a 322H B.E.S.T Inline Water Filter.

how did you actually wire up the pump?
-
is the water potable? Thanks @Gavin.
-
How often do you change the filters? I bought some of ebay. The neighbor replaced his kitchen and took out an Aqua pure system which the bower bird has salvaged for my use.

Just putting a filter system together similar to yours. Where did you get the hose fitting for the filter head? I'm going to use a small petrol water pump.

Look out for crocks!

Here in the States we have drinking water specific hoses. Is this something you are using? Normally, these hoses are whiteish blue in color as compared to brown, green or yellow regular garden hoses.

The voltage drop on that 12v run is going to be massive & your pump may burn out fast... Also I would fit a Ultra Violet light steriliser to kill of the germs that will get through the filters...
-
Can i ask you if i have a separate car battery 12v for the pump , how long can it work continuously until the battery empties?
I want to use for irrigating olive trees. Thank you. -
Hi Gavin, just installing a pump in my camper trailer, and i gotta say it's so friggin noisy, i have tried all comment on google (coiled hoses, rubber backing etc) but that pump you have there seems so quiet, what make is it please? great set up by the way
-
Gavin neat DIY 12 volt water pumping system.
-
If the water is not that dirt, can I use only the small filter that came with the Shurflo pump ?
-
Yeah the life straw looks awesome I have seen that. Where did you purchase all of the gear from? I had a look at bunnings but thought I might need to go to a pump place
-
Hi great video will look at doing something similar. In your opinion the water is fine to drink?
-
What is your voltage at the pump with 40m of electrical cable? Seems like voltage drop would be significant without an expensive heavy power cable.

Nice video thank you, I learnt a lot, I want to make a similar setup and it was very useful
