Hi Paul,
The first thing to clear up is that the pump capacity does not
determine the amount of water used. In other words, the higher
capacity pump does not waste more water... the consumer is the one
wasting water!
Whew. Glad to get that out of the way.
Since you expressed interest in conserving water, and I'm onside
100%, I am led to believe that pressure water use will be somewhat
closely monitored (observed) by the skipper. If this is the case I
recommend the Jabsco Par-Max 3.5gal/min 40psi (32600-0092) with
built-in bypass valve and no accumulator. This will provide decent
galley service and occasional shower. This is not a recommendation
for a liveaboard type system or sailing with a high maintenance
Admiral (or girlfriend)!
It is economical. Sure it's 50% more than the lessor Jabsco but it's
only 50 bucks in the real world AND you don't need an accumulator, initially.
If you find the need to improve the system later then add the
accumulator. BTW, the cheaper Jabsco will really benefit having the
accumulator installed at the onset.
Cheers, Russ

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading the fresh water plumbing on my
boat. The old fresh water pump was removed long before I obtain
this project. I am currently deciding between two pumps: a Jabsco
Par-Max 2.9gal/min 50psi (31395-0092) and a Jabsco Par-Max
3.5gal/min 40psi (32600-0092). The Par-Max 3.5 cost about 50%
more. I want to favor the Par-Max 2.9 to conserve water but I am
interested to hear what other think about the 2.9 gal/min flow being enough?
Thanks for anyones input.
