The RV water pump is a crucial component in your recreational vehicle (RV) plumbing system.

A well-functioning RV water <a href="https://www.my-ivvi.com/myivvi-ca-staging/online-store/fresh-water-105cat">pump</a> ensures you have running water even when you’re not connected to a city water supply. Regular maintenance and checks are essential for a smooth RV experience!

It serves as the delivery service between your fresh water tank and the fixtures (faucets, toilet, and shower) inside your RV. <span style="color: #111111; font-family: -apple-system, Roboto, SegoeUI, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Microsoft YaHei', 'Meiryo UI', Meiryo, 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif;">Without a working water pump, your RV’s plumbing system would be non-functional. Pumps come in various configurations to suit different RV sizes and needs. Large <a href="https://www.my-ivvi.com/myivvi-ca-staging/rv-rental">RVs</a> need more powerful pumps than smaller RVs.</span>

<ul>
 	<li>An RV water pump is a motorized diaphragm pump that draws water from the freshwater tank and sends it to the fixtures.</li>
 	<li>It operates at <strong>12 volts</strong>, directly wired into the RV’s 12-volt system.</li>
 	<li>When you open a fixture (like a faucet), the water pressure in the lines drops.</li>
 	<li>The pump detects this low pressure and powers on to maintain consistent pressure.</li>
 	<li>Once the desired pressure is reached, it shuts off until another fixture is opened.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Types of RV Water Pumps:</strong>
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Constant Speed Pumps</strong>:
<ul>
 	<li>These are the most common type.</li>
 	<li>They deliver water at a consistent speed regardless of application.</li>
 	<li>Inexpensive but tend to have a shorter lifespan due to prolonged running.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Variable Speed Pumps</strong>:
<ul>
 	<li>Raise or lower motor RPM to maintain pressure based on demand.</li>
 	<li>More efficient, quieter, and longer-lasting.</li>
 	<li>Consumes less energy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<strong>High Volume Pumps</strong>:
<ul>
 	<li>Used in large applications (e.g., motor homes, bus homes).</li>
</ul>
