I am still waiting for my pump and we will see what I get at Christmas. If I don’t get the Shurflo 4038 I was looking for, I might instead go for the Seaflo 12V DC 5.5GPM 60PSI 55 Series Diaphragm Water Pressure Pump. It is less expensive and almost twice as fast.
I am going to get an in-line switch for my quick connect cable from my ATV to the pump. This will allow me to turn on and off the pump while holding the end of the hose and filling the 5 gallon pails in my ATV trailer.
