Electric Freshwater Pump
Our Electric Freshwater Pump range covers 12V pumps that deliver mains-style pressure to onboard taps and showers from a freshwater tank, the standard setup for a boat with proper plumbed water rather than a manual galley pump.
Size the pump to your system’s demand: a small boat with one galley tap needs less flow than one running a shower and multiple outlets simultaneously, so check the pump’s rated flow and pressure against your fittings rather than buying on price alone. A pressure switch or accumulator tank (often built into modern pumps) smooths out the on/off cycling you get from a basic pump, giving steadier flow at the tap. If you’re replacing an existing pump, match the inlet/outlet fitting size to avoid extra plumbing work, and see our Manual Galley Pumps category if you want a no-power backup alongside it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right pump size?
Check the pump’s rated flow and pressure against how many outlets (taps, shower) it needs to run, rather than buying on price alone.
Should I have a manual pump as backup?
Many owners do – see our Manual Galley Pumps category for a no-power backup that keeps working if the electric pump or battery fails.
