    I will second what Ken wrote below. I also bought from PPL Motorhomes out
    of Texas I believe. They were having a sale that could no be ignored. If I
    remember correctly I only paid around $139 for the 5.7gpm Shurflo extreme.
    That was really cheap. They handled everything very well with excellent
    customer service. I highly recc them. Ken actually put me onto them. If you
    think Ken's 3.5gpm was wimpy, my PO had a 1.5gpm. I can sweat water quicker
    than that. On the other hand, it is a little discomforting that it takes my
    watermaker 1 hour to make what my shower uses in .8 minutes! But I love my
    new hollywood showers, and Alicia loves the pressure she gets now in the
    galley. Big difference.

    A few months ago I replaced my aging and wimpy 3.5GPM freshwater pump
    with the Shurlfo extreme 5.7GPM pump. I love it! Works like a charm,
    quiet, and LOTS of flow.
    I found the best deal at a RV dealer (PPL Motorhomes), and their
    service was top notch, too. http://tinyurl.com/5sweu
    Should you decide to go with the Shurflo, I do not think you will be
    disappointed.
