Darn,
I meant to add/qualify it by saying that this was one reviewer's opinion,
and that I (personally) wouldn't take it as gospel, but rather just a
datapoint.

For what it's worth:
And I know it's a bit late Dick, but the Jabsco VSD pumps have received a
"very poor" reliability ratings. :( Apparently they tend to burn out
prematurely and parts availability wasn't good except at specific retailers.
On the other hand, the ShurFlo Sensormax Extreme series (Also a variable
speed delivery pump) received "excellent" ratings.
I have the review around here somewhere, but can't cite the sources off
hand. The prices are comparable.

HI Ray,
I just ordered the faucet. I notice that my local hardware store has 3/8 to
1/2 brass adaptors, will they work as well as a new hose?
I also ordered the JABSCO Model 31777-0000 "Smooth Flow? Variable Speed
Drive (VSD) Pump Controller" for about $100.00 from WM special order. It
will be easy to install next to the SHURflo pump. On WindWalker the pump is
model 2088-723-244. It has 1/2" male fittings and as part of the Jabsco kit
they provide the appropriate 1/2 inch adaptors.

12/24 VDC Pump Controller
Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
SMOOTH-FLOWT
WATER SYSTEM CONTROLLER
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) converts everyday pumps into
sensor-controlled pumps that automatically adjust in real
time to changes in pressure. As less flow is required, the
pump motor slows down to provide a smooth and
pulsation-free performance.
FEATURES
. Provides smooth and quiet water flow without pulsation
(water hammer)
. Eliminates temperature variation
. Eliminates need for space consuming accumulator tank
. Works on most water pressure pumps rated 3-12 amps
. Easy-to-install; hose and fittings included
. Runs on 12 or 24 VDC input
HOW IT WORKS
The controller automatically measures the pressure at
which the pump's pressure switch opens. It uses this
measurement to determine an optimal running pressure
for the given pump, and stores the value in its memory
for consistency between power cycles.
Compatible Pump Requirements:
. Diaphragm pumps with 3, 4 or 5 pumping chambers.
. 12 or 24 VDC.
. 12 amp maximum at 12 Volts.
. 6 amp maximum at 24 Volts.
. 3 amp minimum pump rating.
. MPU pressure switch rating: 30 to 65 psi.
. Motor voltage must match system voltage.
