Water Pumps
To enjoy running water like at home, you need a reliable Water Pump. Choose an immersion pump inside the tank or a pressurised diaphragm pump outside the tank to match your layout and 12 V system.

Water Pumps
Enjoy running water in your mobile home with reliable Water Pumps. Choose between immersion and pressurised systems to match your layout, comfort needs and 12 V setup for a home-like flow on the road.
Water Pumps For Motorhomes And Caravans
A well-matched pump keeps water moving to taps, showers and boilers with steady pressure. Consider layout, noise level, flow rate and energy draw. Pair your pump with food-safe hoses, suitable fittings and proper venting for clean, splash-free refills.
Flow, Pressure And Power
Balance comfort and efficiency: higher pressure improves shower feel, while moderate flow conserves water and battery capacity on off-grid stays.
Compatibility With 12 V Fittings
Check hose diameters, thread types and switch logic so taps, microswitches and non-return valves work seamlessly with your chosen pump.
Immersion Water Pumps
Immersion pumps sit directly in the tank or canister and supply water to taps, showers and heaters. Opening a tap activates the pump via 12 V fittings with integrated microswitches. Add dry-running protection to prevent overheating if the tank runs empty.
Typical Performance Range
- Power consumption: 10 to 75 watts
- Pressure: 0.5 to 2.1 bar
- Flow rate: 10 to 25 litres per minute
Benefits Of Immersion Pumps
- Very quiet operation inside the tank
- No extra installation space required
- Low weight, minimal payload impact
- Long service life, around 500 hours
- No suction height to overcome
Pressurised Water Pumps
Pressurised (diaphragm) Water Pumps mount outside the tank and create constant line pressure. They react to a pressure drop when a tap opens, so any standard fitting can be used. Installation is flexible – up to 2 m above and 8 m from the tank – and modern models run impressively quiet.
Advantages Of Pressurised Systems
- Flexible installation independent of position
- Long service life with robust components
- Home-like water pressure for a premium feel
Selecting 12 V Water Pumps And Fittings
Match pump output to your crew size and usage. For multiple outlets or showers, choose higher flow and pressure. Use reinforced, food-grade hoses and correct connectors to avoid leaks and voltage drops.
Smart Protection And Controls
Combine dry-run protection, strainers and check valves to safeguard the system. Microswitch taps suit immersion pumps; pressure switches suit diaphragm pumps.
Installation, Care And Winterising For Water Pumps
Mount pumps on anti-vibration pads, keep lines short and protect hoses with grommets through panels. After installation, pressure-test and inspect all joints.
Hygiene And Seasonal Care
Rinse lines before first use, refresh stored water regularly and sanitise the system periodically. Before frost, drain pumps, tanks and hoses completely and reopen caps for ventilation.
