Camplux 12V Diaphragm Water Pump, 1.6 GPM, 65 PSI — Self-Priming Water Pump for RV, Marine and Outdoor Use

CAMPLUX's DC 12V diaphragm water pump is a compact, self-priming 1.6 GPM unit delivering up to 65 PSI for reliable water pressure in RVs, boats, and outdoor showers.

This pump combines a self-priming diaphragm design with an adjustable pressure switch and vibration-damping mounts to give steady, quiet water flow from a 12V source. It fits common 1/2" NPT plumbing, draws up to 6 amps at peak, and is built for mobile and outdoor use — from caravans and yachts to camping showers and garden sprayers.

How does this pump maintain water pressure for sinks and showers?

The CAMPLUX diaphragm pump uses an adjustable pressure switch that starts and stops the motor automatically when flow is demanded. You get consistent outlet pressure up to 65 PSI, so faucets and portable showers deliver a steady stream without manual control.

• Adjustable pressure switch with automatic on/off operation
• Maximum rated pressure: 65 PSI for stronger flow
• 1.6 GPM flow for typical RV sink and shower needs
• Runs on 12V DC, suitable for vehicle and battery power systems

What installation and plumbing connections are required?

Installation is straightforward: mount the pump near the tank or higher if needed, connect 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet plumbing, and wire to a 12V supply with appropriate fusing. Because it is self-priming up to 4 vertical feet, you have flexible mounting options above the water source.

• Plumbing: standard 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet threads
• Electrical: 12V DC operation, max current about 6 A — use proper fuse
• Self-priming capability up to 4 ft vertical lift
• Can be mounted above the tank thanks to priming ability

Is the pump durable and quiet enough for camping and marine use?

The pump includes rubber anti-vibration feet and a diaphragm mechanism that reduces noise and mechanical vibration, making it practical for overnight stays in RVs or cabins. It is CE certified and designed to tolerate occasional dry running without immediate damage, improving resilience in mobile setups.

• Rubber feet minimize vibration and noise transmission
• Diaphragm design delivers quieter operation than many piston pumps
• CE certification indicates compliance with key safety standards
• Dry-run tolerant construction for short periods without water

What typical uses and performance can I expect?

This pump is intended for mobile and outdoor applications: supplying sinks in motorhomes, powering onboard yacht faucets, running portable camping showers, and supporting light agricultural spraying. Expect about 1.6 gallons per minute under normal conditions, with pressure adjustable to match fixtures or fittings.

• Ideal for RV and motorhome sinks and showers
• Suitable for yachts, boats, and small marine plumbing systems
• Works with camping showers, pet wash stations, and garden sprinklers
• Good for light spraying, car washing, and other portable water use
