What are Flojet pumps commonly used for in marine applications?
Flojet pumps are widely used for freshwater delivery, washdown systems, bilge water transfer, livewell circulation, and general onboard water systems. Their self-priming diaphragm design makes them popular for boats, RVs, and other mobile water applications.
Are Flojet water pumps self-priming and able to run dry?
Yes. Many Flojet marine pumps are self-priming and designed with run-dry protection, allowing short dry-running periods without damaging the pump. This makes them ideal for intermittent marine use and fluctuating water supply conditions.
How do I choose the right Flojet pump for my boat?
Selecting the right Flojet pump depends on your required flow rate (GPM), operating voltage, pressure rating (PSI), and intended application such as freshwater supply, washdown, or bilge transfer. Higher flow models are ideal for washdown systems, while lower-flow pumps work well for sinks, showers, and galley systems.
Are replacement parts and rebuild kits available for Flojet pumps?
Yes. Flojet offers replacement diaphragms, valves, strainers, pressure switches, and rebuild kits for many pump models. Routine maintenance with genuine replacement parts can help extend pump life and maintain consistent performance.
What warranty coverage do Flojet pumps include?
Many Flojet pumps include a limited manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Several Flojet pump manuals and warranty documents reference coverage periods of up to two years depending on the model and application. Customers should retain proof of purchase and review the product documentation for model-specific warranty terms.
