SHURFLO 4008-101-E65 vs Jabsco 31395-4012-3A

Buy the SHURFLO Revolution, model 4008-101-E65, ASIN B002XM5G70, when you want the 12-volt pump whose title says 3.0 gallons per minute and 55 psi, whose flow cell says 3 gpm, and whose specific-use cell says RV Plumbing System. Buy the Jabsco Par-Max, model 31395-4012-3A, ASIN B08RQKGHQ8, when you want the pump whose title says 12 volts, 3 gallons per minute, and a 40-psi shutoff, and whose specific-use cell says Use on boats, and when you will ignore a style cell that says Submersible and an item-weight cell that says 5 grams.

Short version. A NOCO GENIUS1 and a Battery Tender 021-0123 are the 12-volt chargers, not the pumps. A Blue Sea 6006 and a Perko 8501DP are the battery switches that feed a pump. A Rule 25DA and a Rule-Mate 500 are bilge pumps, which empty the hull. These two cards are pressure pumps, which push fresh water to a faucet. Boat battery troubleshooting is the electrical side of a 12-volt pump that will not start. Match the model before you match the word pump.

The SHURFLO title is PENTAIR SHURFLO Revolution 4008-101-E65 RV Fresh Water Pump 12V 3.0 GPM 55 PSI. The brand cell says SHURFLO. The model-number cell says 4008-101-E65. The manufacturer part number says 4008101E65, the same digits without the hyphens. The ASIN is B002XM5G70. The UPC is 752324010998. The GTIN is 00752324010998. The color cell says Grey. The style cell says Above Ground. The material cell names EPDM, polypropylene, Santoprene, stainless steel, and zinc-plated steel. The power-source cell says Battery Powered. The voltage cell says 12 volts of direct current. The maximum-flow cell says 3 gallons per minute. The maximum-lifting-height cell says 6 feet. The item-weight cell says 4.5 pounds. The product-dimensions cell says 4.75 inches by 5.5 inches by 11.5 inches. The specific-use cell says RV Plumbing System. The included line names the Shurflo 4008-101-E65 Revolution pump. The number-of-items cell says 1. The manufacturer cell says Shurflo.

55 psi is in the title. There is no pressure cell. Cite 55 psi as a title claim. Pentair's Revolution catalog line for 4008-101-E65 lists 12 volts, 3 gallons per minute, 7.5 amps, a 55-psi shutoff, and a body of 8.1 by 4.9 by 4.3 inches. That catalog is not this Amazon card. The Amazon dimension cell says 4.75 by 5.5 by 11.5. Those two boxes are not the same shape. 11.5 inches on one side is a long pump or a bad cell. 8.1 inches is the catalog's long side. Do not average them into a 10-inch pump and then cut a hole for the average. Measure the pump. The flow cell of 3 gpm agrees with the title's 3.0 gpm and with the catalog. That agreement is the clean line. The lift cell of 6 feet is Amazon-only in this reading. The catalog's prime figure is not printed as 6 feet on the Amazon card, so do not merge them without saying which page you mean.

The use cell says RV Plumbing System. The title says RV. A boat can use a 12-volt demand pump, and this card does not say marine, ignition-protected, or ISO 8846. Do not stamp a boat rating onto a card that filed itself under RV. The style cell says Above Ground. That is a mounting hint, not a submersion rating. The power cell says Battery Powered and the voltage cell says 12 volts DC. Those agree with a house battery. They do not agree with a 120-volt outlet. The weight cell of 4.5 pounds is a cell you can check on a scale. The materials list is long enough to be a real diaphragm pump: elastomer, plastic, stainless, and plated steel. It does not say which part is which. EPDM is a typical valve rubber. It is not a warranty.

The Jabsco title is Jabsco 31395-4012-3A ParMax3 Marine Freshwater Delivery Pump, 12V, 3 GPM, 40 PSI Shut-Off. The brand cell says Jabsco. The model-number cell and the manufacturer part number both read 31395-4012-3A. The ASIN is B08RQKGHQ8. The UPC is 671880841801. The color cell says Black. The material cell says Plastic. The style cell says Submersible. The power-source cell says Corded Electric. The voltage cell says 12 volts. The flow cell says 3 gallons per minute. The product-dimensions cell says 9.09 inches by 4.21 inches by 4.21 inches. The item-weight cell says 5 grams. The specific-use cell says Use on boats. The included line repeats the full product name. The warranty cell says 1-year warranty. The manufacturer cell says Jabsco. The bullets say an enclosed motor, an integrated pressure switch, vibration-reducing mounts, self-priming, and the ability to run dry.

5 grams is 0.18 ounces. A freshwater pump with a 9-inch body does not weigh 5 grams. The SHURFLO cell says 4.5 pounds, which is about 2,040 grams. The Jabsco cell is three orders of magnitude off a pump you can hold. Weigh it. Do not cite 5 grams as the mass of model 31395-4012-3A. The style cell says Submersible. The title says a freshwater delivery pump, and the description talks about outlets on a vessel, a pressure switch, and a housing. A submersible bilge pump and a pressure pump are different tools. The Rule pair on this desk is the bilge tool. This Jabsco title is the pressure tool. The Submersible cell is the broken field. The power cell says Corded Electric beside a title and a voltage cell that say 12 volts. Corded electric usually means a mains cord. 12 volts means a battery. Believe the 12-volt title and the voltage cell, and treat Corded Electric as a bad category word, unless the cord in the box is a 12-volt lead, which is still not a household plug.

40 psi is in the Jabsco title. There is no pressure cell, just as the SHURFLO has 55 psi in the title and no pressure cell. 40 and 55 are not the same shutoff. Do not average them into a 47-psi pump. The flow cells both say 3 gallons per minute. The titles both say 3. The Jabsco description says the 31395 replaces the 31600, and it discusses heavy-duty models up to 6 gallons per minute and 60 psi. Those sentences are the family, not this part. This part's title stops at 3 gallons per minute and 40 psi. Plastic is the material cell. A pump head can be plastic and the motor shell something else. The cell does not split them. The use cell says Use on boats. That is the sentence the SHURFLO card does not print. If the job is a boat faucet, the Jabsco use cell is the one that says so. If the job is an RV, the SHURFLO use cell is the one that says so. The volts and the flow are the overlap. The use cell is the fork.

Who should buy the SHURFLO, and who should buy the Jabsco?

Buy 4008-101-E65 if you want the RV use cell, the 3-gpm flow cell, the 12-volt cell, the 4.5-pound weight cell, the above-ground style cell, and a title that says 55 psi, and if you will measure the body instead of trusting 4.75 by 5.5 by 11.5 until it matches the pump. Buy 31395-4012-3A if you want the boat use cell, the 3-gpm flow cell, the 12-volt cell, a title that says 40 psi, and the self-priming and run-dry bullets, and if you will ignore Submersible, Corded Electric, and a 5-gram weight. Buy the Jabsco for a boat faucet because the use cell says boats. Buy the SHURFLO for an RV because the use cell says RV. A boat that uses the SHURFLO is using a card that never said boat.

Do not buy either pump as a bilge pump. The Rule cards are that job. Do not buy either as a 120-volt household pump. Both voltage lines say 12. Do not buy a charger and expect a pump. The NOCO card is a charger. This page is the load on the other end of that wire.

What is 4008-101-E65 actually for?

This card is a 12-volt demand pump filed under RV. The useful identity is 4008-101-E65, ASIN B002XM5G70, UPC 752324010998, 3 gallons per minute, 12 volts DC, 4.5 pounds, grey, above ground, and a title that adds 55 psi. The dimension cell is the field to check with a tape. Pentair's catalog box of 8.1 by 4.9 by 4.3 inches is the manufacturer's box, and it includes the 7.5-amp figure this Amazon card does not print. Do not cite 7.5 amps as an Amazon cell. Cite it as Pentair's catalog if you cite it at all. The lift cell of 6 feet is the Amazon prime hint. It is not a promise about a faucet two decks up. The materials list is the diaphragm-pump hint. The included line is one pump. Fittings may be in a hardware bag the included line does not itemize. Count them. Do not invent a fitting size the card does not print.

Battery powered means a 12-volt battery, which on a boat is the house bank the battery-switch article is about. The card does not print a fuse size. A fuse is a separate decision. The switch article is the disconnect. This pump card is not a wiring diagram.

What is 31395-4012-3A actually for?

This card is a 12-volt freshwater delivery pump filed under boats. The useful identity is 31395-4012-3A, ASIN B08RQKGHQ8, UPC 671880841801, black, 3 gallons per minute, 12 volts, a 9.09-by-4.21-by-4.21-inch dimension cell, a boat use cell, and a title that says 40 psi and Par-Max 3. The bullets add a pressure switch, soft mounts, self-priming, and dry running. The description says this model replaces 31600. If a fitter is swapping a 31600, the description is the sentence that says 31395 is the replacement. Confirm the footprint before you drill the old holes. The style cell Submersible and the weight cell of 5 grams are the fields to reject. Plastic is the material cell, not a full bill of materials. Corded Electric is the power cell that fights the 12-volt line.

The description's mention of 6-gallon and 60-psi heavy-duty models is a catalog paragraph. It is not this part's flow cell. A shopper who needs 6 gallons per minute is on the wrong model even if the paragraph sounded generous. One-year warranty is the warranty cell. The SHURFLO warranty line on the page this article opened is a short contact sentence, not a year count. Do not move the Jabsco year onto the SHURFLO.

How do you plumb them without mixing the cards?

Wire both as 12-volt pumps. The Jabsco power cell says corded, and the voltage cell says 12. Use the voltage cell. Put the pump above the bilge water. The SHURFLO style cell says above ground. The Jabsco style cell says submersible and should not be obeyed as a bilge installation. A pressure pump wants a strainer, a fuse, and a hose size the cards do not print. Do not invent a half-inch barb from a different pump's manual and call it this cell. Read the port in your hand. The SHURFLO lift cell of 6 feet is the only lift number on either Amazon card. The Jabsco card does not print a lift. Its bullets say self-priming and do not say how many feet. Do not copy 6 feet onto the Jabsco.

The shutoff pressure is the title, 55 or 40, and it is the point where a working demand pump should stop when the faucet closes. If it runs on, the switch is not doing the thing the title named. That is a service problem, not a second model. The run-dry bullet is on the Jabsco card. The SHURFLO card, in the fields opened here, does not print a run-dry cell. Pentair's catalog says the Revolution can run dry. That is the catalog. Do not cite it as an Amazon bullet you did not see. A bilge pump that runs dry is a different product. Do not plumb a Rule pump into the faucet because both say 12 volts.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The SHURFLO card fails when the RV use cell is ignored and the pump is sold as an ignition-protected marine pump. It fails when 4.75 by 5.5 by 11.5 is treated as the same box as Pentair's 8.1 by 4.9 by 4.3. It fails when 55 psi is called a pressure cell. It fails when 7.5 amps from the catalog is called an Amazon cell. It fails when Above Ground is read as a ban on mounting the pump on a bulkhead. Above ground is a style word. The port orientation is the pump in your hand.

The Jabsco card fails when 5 grams is quoted as the weight. It fails when Submersible is obeyed and the pump is dropped in the bilge. It fails when Corded Electric is wired to a 120-volt outlet. It fails when the 6-gallon paragraph is ordered on a 3-gallon model. It fails when 40 psi and the SHURFLO's 55 psi are averaged. It fails when the 31600 replacement sentence is ignored by a fitter who drills the old pattern without measuring. It fails when Plastic is read as "no metal anywhere" on a motor that still has screws.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a bilge-pump comparison. The Rule pair is that article. This is not a battery-charger comparison and it is not a battery-switch comparison. Those links are the power in front of the pump. This is not a claim about which pump is quieter. Neither card prints a decibel number. This is not a price quote. Use the buttons for the live listing. This is not every Par-Max and it is not every Revolution voltage. A 24-volt SHURFLO is a different model number. This card is 4008-101-E65.

So which freshwater pump should you buy?

Buy the SHURFLO if you want model 4008-101-E65, ASIN B002XM5G70, the RV use cell, the 3-gpm cell, the 12-volt cell, the 4.5-pound cell, and a title that says 55 psi, and if you will measure the body before you cut the panel. Buy the Jabsco if you want model 31395-4012-3A, ASIN B08RQKGHQ8, the boat use cell, the 3-gpm cell, the 12-volt cell, and a title that says 40 psi, and if you will throw out Submersible, Corded Electric, and 5 grams. Buy neither if you wanted a bilge pump, a 120-volt pump, or a printed amp draw on the Amazon card. The use cell is the decision. The weight cell on the Jabsco is the warning.

This page does not embed a video. A clip that shows one pump and not the other would need a title that names the model. No such public clip is on this page, and a VideoObject is not attached to a pump the article does not play.
