Shurflo Portable Pumps

SHURflo Portable Pumps: Decades of On-Demand Water Mastery

When it comes to portable pumps, few names carry the weight of real-world experience that SHURflo does. Founded in 1968, SHURflo set out to solve a specific problem: recreational vehicle owners needed a compact, dependable pump to deliver stored tank water to faucets, showers, and toilets on the road. The pumps they built worked so well that the brand quickly became the benchmark for the entire industry — and it has never looked back.

Today, SHURflo's portable pump lineup spans RV fresh water delivery, marine washdown, and broader outdoor fluid-transfer applications, each model engineered to the same exacting standards that built the brand's reputation. As part of the Pentair family, SHURflo combines over 50 years of diaphragm-pump expertise with modern manufacturing quality control — including being the first pump company in North America to earn ISO-9001 registration back in 1993.

Standout Product Lines

SHURflo's portable pump range is anchored by several well-known series, each targeting a distinct performance tier:

• Revolution Series (4008) – One of SHURflo's most popular portable pump platforms, the Revolution delivers 3.0 GPM at up to 55 PSI shut-off via a 12V DC motor. Its signature feature is a unique one-piece over-molded diaphragm combined with an internal bypass that dramatically reduces cycling noise and wear. The pump self-primes up to 6 feet of vertical lift and is designed to run dry without sustaining damage — a genuine safeguard for off-grid use.
• Aqua King™ II – A reliable 12V DC camper pump delivering a consistent 3 GPM at 30 PSI, the Aqua King II features sealed components, a built-in check valve for backflow protection, and a compact footprint that installs in any orientation — horizontal, vertical, or angled.
• Extreme Series (Smart Sensor) – SHURflo's flagship intelligent pump uses a microprocessor sensor to control variable speed, enabling delivery of up to 5.7 GPM at 65 PSI while eliminating the traditional pressure switch entirely. The result is near-silent operation that feels closer to a home water system than a portable pump.
• Blaster™ II Washdown Pump – Purpose-built for tough cleaning tasks on boats, RVs, and job sites, the Blaster II runs on 12V DC and delivers 3.5 GPM, making short work of mud, salt, and grime in the field.
• 8000 Series On-Demand Diaphragm Pump – With Viton valves and a compact housing, this high-pressure model delivers 1.8 GPM at up to 100 PSI on 12V DC, making it well-suited for reverse-osmosis booster and chemical-transfer applications.

What Sets SHURflo Apart in Portable Pumps

Across the lineup, several engineering themes recur. SHURflo's multi-chamber diaphragm designs keep moving-part travel to a minimum — limiting friction, reducing noise, and extending service life. High-quality materials including Santoprene, Viton, and corrosion-resistant poly housings allow these pumps to handle not just fresh water but also saltwater, light chemicals, and other demanding fluids without premature failure. Automatic demand sensing means the pump activates only when a faucet opens and shuts off cleanly when flow stops, conserving battery power in off-grid settings. Thermal protection guards the motor against overheating, and most models include a clear-bowl inlet strainer for quick field inspection and maintenance.
