Recommendations for foot pump?

Postby DoctahDeane » Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:14 am

Hey folks,

I am going to have a very simple cold water only (for dishes) plumbing system. The holding tank is in place, so is sink and just getting ready to connect everything and then I thought, "do I really need an electric pump" for this this very simple activity? So now I'm trying to learn more about good foot pumps. If you can recommend one, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm helping a friend fit out her Sprinter Van.

We'll be installing one of these:

She was able to find one at some marine website if I recall.

We're probably a couple of weeks or more from the plumbing end.

Thanks a lot. I watched a YouTube last night where the guy used one of these very same ones. Thanks for the pointer. I'll be happy to go this route. For just cold water, having a noisy pump out in the wilds seemed like overkill. This'll be better. I'll have to rig up some sort of board to attach the pump to that I an pull out and place on the ground but that'll be easy. Thanks Dr. T!

Here's the video if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2604Le2k0A

And a link to the pump you mention, if anyone else is interested: https://www.boatersland.com/swdgp4618.h ... l1EALw_wcB

INTERESTING

foot operated pumps sure are HANDY

my grandfather installed a foot lever on the well pump for the sink in his cabin(our introduction to indoor plumbing) many many moons ago
