Water pump confusion September 08, 2005, 01:36:15 pm Yahoo Message Number: 57856QuoteMy question: 1. In the new 2003 and 2004 models, the 5.7 pump, is it working well or not working well? 2. Does it have enough flow or doesn't it? 3. Is it quiet or is it noisy? 4. Does it empty the fresh water tank quickly or not? 5. Is Whisper King in the new models, or isn't it? Frances, we have no experience with the Whisper King (I don't remember which brand(s) or model(s) were in our previous RVs), but we like the 5.7 in our LD. Other than the fact that we had to replace ours, it has worked well: ** It's quiet -- a LOT quieter than any of our previous water pumps. **It has plenty of flow -- in fact, I like the flow a lot better than any previous water pump we've had. ** As for emptying the fresh water tank quickly, read my previous post on this subject -- with our 50 gallons of fresh water, 24 gallons of grey, and 18 gallons of black, we can easily squeeze 5 or 6 days out of the tanks when we're dry camping. ** Unless the factory has made a RECENT change, the 5.7 is what is being put in the new LDs.Linda Hylton2004 Red 23.5' TKFrom Point Campground/Deschutes NF Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway See where we are: http://map.datastormusers.com/user2.cfm?user=1167

Our 5.7 is very quiet -- we can barely hear it when it's running. It's certainly MUCH more quiet than any of our previous water pumps have been, all of which sounded like jack hammers!Linda Hylton2004 Red 23.5' TKFrom Point Campground/Deschutes NF Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway See where we are: http://map.datastormusers.com/user2.cfm?user=1167
