Work for less than a year!
Worked less than a year. Put in RV last Aug. Used it for a couple trips last fall. Worked great. Ran this spring when got RV out of winter storage. Got to camp ground and we had no water. Put old pump back in to get us thru weekend trip. Wont buy another of this type!Update. Very pleased with customer service. Within 2 day I received an email asking me if I wanted a replacement pump or refund and a day later received refund. You seldom see customer service like this!

Great pump. Make sure you are using the right size fuse
Bought this to upgrade my RV water pump as the one stock was very noisy and very low pressure. This one works great. Remember you may need to change the fuse to for the higher voltage. I believe it takes a 20. My old one took a 15. I blew the 15.

pump stays on
I purchased almost everything in advance for my schoolie conversion and started the project in January. I only had weekends, if that to work on my bus, installed all the plumbing and the Goener RV Fresh water 12v DC pump, filled up the tank to try it out for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and water turned on, great pressure, but when I turned off the faucet and shower, the pump stayed on. I have the inline pressure tank, this is not my first conversion, I now have 2. First time buying this brand of pump and already not working properly. I looked to see if there was a crack anywhere, and there wasn't. Filter is clean and nothing clogging the flow. Yes, it is installed in the right direction, in case any were going to ask. So either I put a switch in the line to avoid the task of replacing this pump in such a tight spot, not my preference, prefer to have a working pump, or replace it with the reliable brand I have been using for years. Maybe they need to up their quality control before sending faulty pumps. Thanks for creating more work and delaying our trip over a faulty pump.

Great pump but make sure it's primed and has proper flow rate!
PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW. Received my Rv water pump. Decided to test before mounting and was disappointed in the flow rate. In addition the pump refused to shut down on its own when no water demand. Initially I thought I purchased the wrong style of pump so I called customer service and spoke to Liz. Super friendly agent and she advised she had received several calls along the same issue. We arranged to have a replacement pump sent. In the meantime I made an adjustment to the flow rate and pressure was more as I expected. AND Now the pump was operating as expected. Great flow rate and pump automatically shut down when no demand was needed. I instantly called Liz to cancel the new shipment. She was so happy to hear the problem solved and was happy to hear that perhaps the problem was due to improper Factory setting for the flow rate. This is a company that values customer service and stand by their product. Super happy! Will update this review if the situation changes. But if you purchase this pump you can feel confident that any issues will be happily solved by Liz!!

Best pump for the money.
One of the best pumps we've used.

Nice pump... bad documentation/quality control
I decided to bench-test it before installing it permanently. Coupe of buckets, some hoses and a pressure tank with a pressure gauge. It's REALLY nice and quiet, as long as there are no leaks in the suction. Mine had an air leak in the filter/strainer. I was able to stop the after a couple of tries. I do like how quiet it ran after that, so I hope I can make it work.The instructions are very poorly written. There is a pressure cutoff screw to adjust the pressure switch, and it seems to work ok... kind of (I was trying to set mine on 58 psi), and had some limited success, but the shutoff would only happen after a lot of pump chatter as the set point pressure was reached. The instructions seem to conflate this switch with the bypass screw (which must adjust a pop-off valve of some sort... no mention of how that is supposed to work, other than "The pressure gauge pointe jitter (sic) instantaneous data is shutoff-by-pass pressure". I've written and read a lot of technical stuff, but am not sure what that is supposed to mean.As to the bypass screw: Mine was threaded in at an angle (it's a stainless steel allen set screw about 3/4", takes a 5/16" allen wrench, not the 7/16 wrench the instructions describe), and did not seem to reliably adjust much of anything. Instructions say to remove it completely and screw it in 10 to 11.5 turns clockwise. The pump chatters as it reaches the setpoint pressure (58 psig in my case). What I wanted was the bypass to kick-in at about 65 psi (ie; never unless the cutoff pressure switch fails). Coudn't do it. I would presume this can be done by setting the pressure cutoff switch to a higher pressure than desired, adjusting the bypass to open at that pressure, then back off the pressure cutoff switch to the desired pressure. None of this is obvious from the instructions (they just say "unscrew it completely, then screw it in about 10 1/2 turns) Nothing about how it works. or how to set it dynamically.OK, maybe I am missing something, but since I am a pretty handy guy, I figured that with a little advice from Customer Service, I could make this work, maybe even fix whatever seems to be wrong with this pump. Called Customer Service at 11:00am this morning. Guess what I got? "Customer Service is not available at this time. Please leave a message at the tone". So I did. Never heard back. If I don't hear back before I get a replacement pump in two days, I am going to send this thing back. I will update later either way.Update two days later. Was never able to get in contact with customer service. I have a time constraint, so I did something I shouldn’t have had to do: I McGivered the bypass valve by removing its cover and shimming the screw to ensure that the bypass pressure would exceed the set point pressure. It worked. Pump ran smoothly and quietly during the bench test, so I went ahead and installed it.

Lasted 9 months.
This pump lasted about 9 months. It worked great initially and now it won’t even try to prime. I have power coming from my trailer and have completed all the troubleshooting tips with no success. Of course it goes out when I’m deep in the woods and not just tinkering at home.
