The Shurflo 4009 series is engineered with a single-piece diaphragm and an internal bypass system, delivering reliable performance and extended durability. Built to handle higher flow requirements, this upgraded model operates quietly and avoids rapid cycling, which can otherwise shorten a pump’s lifespan. It’s designed for long-term use and can safely run dry without damaging the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShurflo has become a leading name in cost-effective 12V water pumps, widely used in caravans, campers, boats, and motorhomes. This unit provides consistent water flow for everyday uses like sinks, showers, and even washing machines. Thanks to its compact, low-profile design, it can be installed in various positions within cabinets or storage compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pump features a ½-inch BSP male thread, making it compatible with standard ½-inch female fittings (commonly used with 13mm tubing). For best performance, it should be installed close to the water source, as it is designed to push water efficiently rather than pull it over long distances. Installation is straightforward, making it accessible even for first-time users.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eImportant Installation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e The inlet fitting is \u003cstrong\u003etapered\u003c\/strong\u003e, so matching tapered connectors (like Shurflo swivel fittings) must be used \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e A \u003cstrong\u003eShurflo filter must be installed before the pump\u003c\/strong\u003e (on the tank side) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDo not use thread tape\u003c\/strong\u003e, as this will void the warranty \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Refer to the provided diagrams for correct BSP\/NPT fitting guidance \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Four-chamber diaphragm design for smooth and quiet operation \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Adjustable pressure shut-off for customised performance \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Self-priming up to 1.8m vertically \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e O-ring check valve for durability and steady output \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Internal bypass system eliminates the need for an accumulator tank \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Dry run protection for added reliability \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Certified to CE and C-Tick standards \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Supplied with a Shurflo twist-on filter \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Usage Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Must be used with a filter installed before the pump \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Thread seal tape must not be used \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Not covered for commercial use \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Not suitable for permanent outdoor exposure \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Not protected against dust ingress \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Adjusting the pressure switch will void warranty \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e For frequent outdoor use, consider the Aqua King 005656-A model \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePump Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Type: 4-chamber diaphragm \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Ports: ½” - 14 NPSM male \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Max inlet pressure: 30 PSI (2.1 bar) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Shut-off pressure: 45 PSI \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Compatible with 12mm BSP fittings \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Motor: 12V DC permanent magnet (intermittent duty) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Protection: Thermal overload with auto reset \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Recommended fuse: 7A \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Housing: Polypropylene \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Components: Stainless steel and zinc-plated hardware \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Weight: 2.3kg \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Size: 205mm (L) x 125mm (W) x 111mm (H) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFilter Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe included twist-on filter helps keep debris out of the pump. It should be installed between the water tank and pump inlet. To maintain optimal performance, clean the filter regularly—ideally at the beginning of each season. Simply unscrew the clear housing, rinse the screen, and gently brush away any buildup if needed. Keeping the filter clean ensures consistent water flow and protects the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTroubleshooting Noise or Vibration\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf the pump becomes noisy or vibrates excessively, start by checking the filter for blockages. Restricted flow can affect performance. If the filter is clean, confirm that the pump is installed close to the water tank. Since the Shurflo 4009 is designed to push water rather than pull it over long distances, correct positioning will improve operation and reduce noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"ecwid-description-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeaflo RV Supreme MK2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShurflo 4009\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-Priming\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry Run Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Usage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.0 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal bypass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal bypass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes fittings \u0026amp; filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBasic package\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Custom Etch Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830171226270,"sku":"135","price":176.92,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/5867\/1774\/files\/5729552761.png?v=1778567558","url":"https:\/\/www.custometchstudio.com.au\/products\/shurflo-4009-12v-water-pump-ideal-for-caravans-and-rvs-p831715198","provider":"Custom Etch Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
