Product review: Early Vanagon Westy water pump

I have 2 Vanagons that use under sink water pumps. In the past, I’ve had difficulty priming them following the winter drain/antifreeze/spring drain & refill. I went looking for a self priming pump. Found one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074884LY7

It fits. Its flow is about right. Its current consumption is a bit less than the rotary vane pump that it replaces and it’s about a third the price of said rotary pump. The only downside is that it’s a bit louder but I’m going deaf anyway so that’s no big deal. (I may insulate the ‘shelf’ that covers the pump to see if that helps.)

If you have an early Westy that doesn’t have an in tank pump, this might be worth a look.

Jim
