i used one of these pumps recently in a home, fitted a shower that was to run from a header tank, but it had a negative head at the shower, so fitted this pump, but a little bigger, held presure at 2 bar, water was fed from tank to pump then split into 2 , 1 for hot, that was heated through an inline electric water heater, and the 2nd for the cold, for taps and mixer shower and toilet, worked well. that was running from a maplin 13.8 power supply for a c,b. will find a pic and put it up.

the pump is designed for use with a battery so it will be fine from a leasure battery, it you are running hot from one tank and cold from another then you will need 2 pumps, 1 for each, the one i had in my camper (camper was actually an old coach that had a 60 gal tank in the boot.) was fed from the tank, then split to go to a gas water boiler (type now illegal, to sell) and then to the tap/shower and the other split to the cold tap/shower.

How would one of these auto pumps compare to a Whale Pump? In regards to flow and pressure?

a whale pump sounds powerfull

I have used a similar pump to above, shurflo 12v 30psi. Works on an inbuilt pressure switch, so no wiring of micro switches from taps etc. Just turn tap on, pump senses pressure drop, and turns on.

Regarding hot and cold. We have the pump on exit from fresh water tank, it then t's off into a hot and cold line. Cold goes straight to taps, hot goes through a calorifier.

cool thanks for the info bearingin mind mines only a weekend camper type and i have a water heator at the front and gonna install a seperate water barrel for cold so but the taps i bought are household and looks like they would need abit of pressure so wel see ..

lol it was. an old bedford PJK 24 seater, about 25' foot in lengh, had full range cooker, full size kitchen sink, shower, toilet, sleapt 8 people, and even had its own twin tub washing machine, its own 2.8 kva gen hooked underneath, was self contained, a true glasters bus, loved it, but it came far to exspencive to run it, really wish i still had some pics of it, but i lost all when i had a break in and they took the computer, the coach i can still find on google maps, has been well stripped, it is located just outside barton devon, at a gipsy yard, ( true gipsys, nice people,, they are not all pikeys, lol)

and yes in your case you will need 2 pumps as you are feeding from 2 different tanks. 1 for each going to its own tap,
as said above, these pumps work on a preasure switch mounted within the pump. they are the same as the whale pump, but a fraction of the cost, but one thing is true in this world, you get what you pay for, whale are one of the best and it will last, a cheeper one will work just as well but may only last a few years,
