Does anyone still make a small 500-800 gph pump in 32 volts?

I don't know of any. I've had a Rule 2000 (32V) in my shower sump since I've owned Aslan (4-1/2 yrs.) with no issues.

SPX (Johnson pump) will make them to order. I had this conversation with the VP of Sales Last week at IBEX. Let me see if I can get a port number and procedure for ordering.

Since it is intermittent duty, would a 24v pump be an acceptable substitute? And would one be easier to find or be cheaper?

That would be very helpful. Thanks.

I would stay with 2000 GPH. Since the water is being pushing the water up hill you want enough pressure to fully discharge and not have half the water run back down causing it to cycle twice as often.

I believe 32v Rule 2000 pumps are still available. I have three that have given no issues since I bought boat five years ago. Probably because I bought a spare pump.

You need a bigger sump with a 2000 as the hose is bigger and more water flows back.

One solution would be to use a smaller 24v pump powered by 3 of your 4 8v batteries. Not ideal but since shower sinks don’t run that much it should not affect the lifespan of the batteries.

Personally I d go with a 2000 in a larger sump as it doubles as a back up bilge pjmpn
