THE 42 SERIES IS NOT A CONTINUOUS RATED MOTOR. JUST RECEIVED MINE AND IT SAYS 5 MINTUES ON 10 MINUTES OFF. I CALLED SEAFLO AND THE TECH CONFIRMED IT IS NOT CONTINUOUS RATED.
i just got the 42 series as i am building a new camper and am very happy with all of the reviews i have seen. thanks for another one! and a good video!
Thank you very much for the video. I am converting a van into a camper and am new to 12V products. I was consodering buying the Flow Max but after watching this video the 42 series Seaflow is the winner in my books as well. Reduced noise and the ability to install without the added cost and space requirement of an accumulator tank is awesome and the quality of the product compared to the Flow Max seems superior. Thanks again, cheers
Thanks for taking the time to put this comparison together! It helps clear up the pros and cons! One possible correction would be concerning the Duty cycle of the Seaflo regarding the 33 series... The spec sheet for the 33 series does NOT say its continuous... You may want to verify the Duty cycle on the 33 series...
I have put the 33 on the test bench for 2 weeks straight. I run it with the faucet closed almost all the way, so it is at maximum pressure. It runs for a while, gets warm because it is at high pressure, and then shuts off. Then, when it cools, it starts up and runs again. For 2 weeks it does this. I can't kill it. I have tried. Open flow runs cool and it will run for almost ever.
@@jzkbbi1 I installed the 42 at my House!! have used it for two weeks for all the normal stuff, laundry, showers, washing my car, dishes and so far it's great!
I bought a 33. It's actually very quiet. Problem is the switch needs to be replaced after 4 months of heavy use. 125V/250V 16A SPDT Snap Action Button Micro Limit Switch for Microwave Oven Door Arcade KW3 by MUZHI.
Would have been nice to know more about the 42 series and the adjustable pressure ability. Not to mention out of warranty parts and service availability. From what I hear, the diaphragm replacement is just about as much as the pump itself and near impossible to source. Please factor in these points in future reviews. Thanks!!
Just bought the seaflo 42 series to replace the lipped that quit working in our travel trailer. I haven't installed it yet, but it says it's rated for a 5min on 10 off duty cycle. It appears superior in other respect but i feel the video does not point out that the 42 is 5min versus the 33 that is continuous.
This is an excellent video. Lots of noise prevented the narration much of the time. and I would have like to seen how to adjust the PSI on the 45 series, since that is one of it unique features.
I have a seaflo 33 installed new on a boat I just got. No pressure. The pump is very quietly making pumping sounds but no water is flowing. I've checked all lines for obstructions etc. Sounds like maybe it died before I ever got to use it
The Seaflow pumps look very good on paper but that's tempered by the vast number of negative reviews that say this company does not stand behind its warranty. For that reason alone, I wont be buying one.
I just bought one for a food truck. Can you run both hot and cold through pump as i have a hot water tank and a cold water holding tank. Can I tee it to the faucet
Why do you all bypass the wire connection part? I would like to see how to connect it since it’s 12V DC and the house runs on 240V AC. Am kind of confused. Please help me out with the wiring diagram. I subscribed to you channel just in case.
Thanks for posting these. I have a shallow well on an offgrid property that's about 10' deep that's a 1-1/4" pipe down. The water is pretty clear. I can filter it before the pump if needed. I want to install a pump inside my van's rear bumper (have about a 6"d x 6"w x 10"L space for it). I'm looking for a 12v pump that can pull water up the 12' + another 4' to a tank on my roof. I would only use the pump for about 15 minutes at a time at most. Will these work? What would be an economical option for this use case?
The small pumps have what looks to be a 1/4" hose fitting to them. However, many people use a braided, clear, high temp, high pressure hose or even a water hose to attach to them. These hoses are rated for the high temps of say a tankless water heater. Not sure just what fitting is used to adapt a hose larger than 1/4" to them. Any thoughts on that? Many people use this setup to heat the water in a hot tub and not be using the water from the house, but simply recirculating the water already in the hot tub to make it hot. Thanks for posting.
Not exactly accurate. I have the Flowmax and it will run much longer than 5 minutes on, 10 minutes off. Every day, for several years, it runs all through my shower. What it will do is shut down due to heat if it runs too long, but most pumps do that. I love the flowmax pumps, have two and installed one for a neighbor.
Where does is state the Lippert pump can only run for 5 mins? I looked at their manual, and that isn't stated anywhere. I see you are a rep for SeaFlo...would be nice to have you provide links to documentation that prove your point.
Caveat emptor! DON'T get the Seaflow pumps. Sure, the pumps work fine, but the built in pressure switch, ALWAYS fails. These switches apparently are rated AC not DC, and eventually burn out. Seaflow clearly don't care. I've two 33's that have burnt-out switches after only months of use, and now have manual on/off switches on the power supply. Will never buy them again.
You can install an accumulator pump on the smaller pumps to stop the cycling. Then the small 2 will work just like the bigger one.

5 minutes into your shower it says break time?
Hi there did you also install pressure switch?
Or how do you adjust the pressure switch on the 33?
Thanks a ton for making this video. It was very helpful since I was looking at the Lippert originally. This definitely changed my mind! Seaflo it is!
funny thing is the Lippert is more money than the 33 series Seaflo for a less capable pump.
I was going to buy the flow max. Thanks for the video. Seaflo 42 all the way.
Check reviews before buying. They tend not to honor their warranty if you have issues.

All those parts are covered by Seaflo's 4 year warranty.
@@jzkbbi1doesn't change that fact that parts are near impossible to source and are 70% the price of a whole new pump.
@@Mogalize 'What part are you looking for? I can get it for you pretty immediately.
@@jzkbbi1 Thanks, but no need, went with another brand.
Great info, was looking at replacing my pump.
Good luck finding parts for the sea flow. Been trying to find pressure switch, no where to be found.
4 year warranty - seems pretty good to me.
SeaFlo series 33 pump has the 5 min on, 10 min off sticker on it!
Amazon reviews say Seaflow does not honor warranty, and the pumps themselves often failed quickly.
very useful video thank you so much for review

Manual says the 42 and 43 has 5min on 10min off cycle. Not sure where this sweet talker is getting his info.
Thank you for that informative video. It looks great except when you speak during the pump working which is hard to hear what you say.
And all of these pumps operate on which voltage?!
Can you please elaborate it
With thanks
Excellent video. Very informative

Want to hear a stock tank pool with a seaflow water pump and a gas land propane heater. What do I hook the wires to?
Which Pump would you suggest for transferring water from storage tanks to garden
I just bought one for a food truck. Can you run both hot and cold through pump as i have a hot water tank and a cold water holding tank. Can I tee it to the faucet
Thanks and God bless
You mention they don't need an accumulator. Will they last longer if I use a pressure tank?

You need a 12V power source. Red to positive, black to negative.
Do you need a back flow on the 33? When I'm at my slip I'm hookup to city water?& what psi should my Actuator Be set at
Seaflo 42 it is. Ty for the video!

The fitting on these pumps are 1/2 NPT and the connection used in this vid are common in rv's.
What do you hook the wires to?
@@patriciaburgess1397 A fuse protected 12V power source like your RV or boat battery. 24V versions are also available.
I have a caravan with 42 series seaflo pump it has trouble turning off works good with a hit from a spanner on the top has anyone on of this problem.
Does the seaflo 42 have a larger power requirement compared to the standard seaflo?
so i am looking for a pump to supply a small power washer for a portable tank. what do you recommend
No links for purchase?
Looking at a SeaFlow 55. Anybody know if these pumps can handle a little bit of sand and mud in the water source?
Use the intake strainer that comes with the pump.
excellent review

SEAFLO makes the Flowmax pump, so they are similar. But the SEAFLO one is going to be superior.

The lippert model shows the 5 min duty cycle right on the pump label and he shows that in the video. Says 5 mins on / 10 mins off
@@WonderWhatsNext the 33 series has the same exact sticker
Good morning, if my project needs a pulsating water pump, can I adjust the seaflo 42 to do it?
1/2 second on, 172 second off
For this sort of application, I would use a timer relay.
With the 42 series why does it bypass? What does it mean I'm building a portable sink and need to better understand a pump that I need
It bypasses when it detects increased pressure. This prevents the pump from cycling on and off repeatedly.
@@jzkbbi1 what is meant by bypass? The pump remains running but there is no pressure created?
@@stellijer The pressure is bled off internally inside the pump.

How to buy 1 PC's here at the Philippines for cod
How much
Very short-lived, only 2 years old. The manufacturer does not accept warranty service. Membranes hardened, water leaked, bearings rusted.
I want this.
wow brilliant same size box wtf
5:54 Nobody is going to be taking a shower for an hour with this setup! At 3.5 gal per min, that is 210 gallons of water. Not very practical.
But you might want to run the pump continuously to pump out your tank and rinse it a few times, etc.
The product makes a very disturbing sound when we turn the water on low, so I could not use the product and I definitely do not recommend it.
Hurry and buy a Seaflo before Lippert buys the company and ruins it like they have done to so many others.
