ok, i finished the install today. i had to resolder the manifolds. i got a new shurflo extreme strainer and i put a ball valve in front of it so i can clean the filter without getting a bath. the old strainer didnt have the shutoff valve.
since the aquajet pump draws ten amps, i ran the old pumps hot wires to relays that i put in the adjacent bay as the triggers. then i ran new 10 gauge wires off of the dc panel in that bay to the relays. then over to the new pumps from there.
my old pumps were shurflo classics with 2.8gpm and 40 psi. the new pump is 5.8gpm and 70 psi. huges difference in flow and pressure.
i took the bladder tank out, it was in front of the water filters.
it works great.
the aquajet pump is about 170 bucks. i left one of the old shurflo's as the backup pump.
