Jabsco Sensor pumps

Has anyone on here installed one of these variable flow pumps on their boat?

I have dealt with constant pulsing/pressure issues and temperature change issues on mine. I have replaced the accumulator tank to a larger one etc. I have been looking to upgrade the whole water system and came across these. From the descripion they seem that they would do the job. I just cant find any one who has done this upgrade. I'm going to try it and see how it works out I think.

I had been through TWO of the variable speed pumps in two years...
IMO, they're garbage. Went back to the (noisy) pressure switch pump.

If you haven't already, try a search; I think we've discussed this before.

I have installed them a month ago.
I am satisfied with the performance.
You can also take out the accumulator.
I do not have experience yet with the life time...
Until now I say buy...........

I replaced my pump with a variable speed one as well. Removed the accumulator tank. I am very happy with the results. I also had to change the breaker for the water pump, and I beefed up the wiring since the new pump I used draws about five amps more than my old pump. Very good water pressure on the boat now as well.

I put one in 3 weeks ago and am happy so far; but I'll keep the old one handy.
