Our old (original I believe) Jabsco pump is leaking, and I'm not throwing any more money at it.
It's the type that has a diaphragm and is driven by an external belt.
I picked up a new Jabsco Par-Max 2.9gpm that says "Up to 50 PSI" on the box, but now that I look at it and read the specs, it's not adjustable.
You can get 30, 40, or 50PSI.
Problem is, the old pump says 40PSI, and is run through a small accumulator.
Am I asking for trouble with the 25% (40 to 50) increase in pressure?
Maybe the system can handle it, but I sure don't want to be popping hoses and fittings off.
Thanks.
