Fimco 2.4 GPM 12V High-Flo High-Performance Pump

A: No, this pump is designed for spraying applications, not as a transfer or dewatering pump. To pull from 1/2" to 1" of shallow water, you would need a specialized low-suction transfer pump or puddle pump. Standard 12V diaphragm pumps will suck air once the water level drops too low and will run dry.

A: While we know some folks have adapted these pumps (including our 2.4 GPM and 4.5 GPM models) for camper setups, we still strongly advise against it. These are agricultural sprayer pumps engineered specifically for pesticides and fertilizers, so the internal components are not food-grade or certified safe for drinking (potable) water. For a camper water supply, you'll want to stick with a pump specifically rated for RV freshwater systems.

A: Yes, it comes with quick-connect port fittings included in the box. This pump features Fimco's Quick-Attach (QA) port system (slide-in fittings secured with locking clips) and includes three fittings: (1) 3/8" Hose Barb fitting (for 3/8" ID hose), (1) 1/2" Hose Barb fitting (for 1/2" ID hose), (1) 1/2" Male NPT threaded fitting (for threaded plumbing connections). This gives you everything you need out of the box to connect standard sprayer hose or adapt to 1/2" threaded lines.

A: The Fimco 2.4 GPM High-Flo pump is a reliable 12V diaphragm pump, it is not recommended for use in an RV's potable water system. Here are the key reasons why it isn't suitable for that specific application: Not Food-Grade: Fimco pumps are designed for agricultural chemicals and fertilizers. The internal components, seals, and plastics are not certified "food-grade" or "potable water safe. Pressure Rating: This pump has a factory-set demand switch at 60 PSI. Most standard RV plumbing systems are designed to operate at a lower pressure (typically around 40–50 PSI). Running a system at 60 PSI may exceed the rating of your RV’s existing faucets, PEX tubing, or fittings, creating a significant risk of leaks or burst pipes. Noise Levels: Agricultural pumps are built for utility and are often quite loud during operation. Dedicated RV water pumps are specifically engineered with sound-dampening mounts and quieter internal designs for residential-style living spaces. Intended Use: The manufacturer specifically states that these pumps are designed for water and aqueous solutions of common pesticides. Using them in a pressurized potable water system falls outside the intended engineering and would likely void any warranty. Recommendation: If you need a replacement pump for your RV, look for a pump specifically labeled as "RV Potable Water Pump." These units are designed to be food-safe, quieter, and correctly pressure-regulated to match standard RV plumbing systems.

A: comes with 1/2" and 3/8" HB port fittings, plus a 1/2" MNPT port fitting.

A: Yes, you can run most insecticides through the pump. However, you want to make sure to follow maintenance instructions for cleaning after use, especially if it contains an aromatic xylene, which is a petroleum distillate.

A: if you're referring to a spray wand that is 1.5 GPM, you'll probably have issues with surging, pulsating.

A: If your pump is currently a 2.1 GPM or 2.4 GPM, this would be a direct replacement.

A: Not sure what is going on with the pump, but there are replacement parts depending on the issue. Please contact our customer service team at 800-831-0027 and they'll be happy to assist you.

A: 14' is the most for the lift on this pump.
