My Shurflow water pump us not so sure. It seems to operate fine as far as cycling on and off, but there is not enough pressure at the shower. The faucets and the tub flow pretty good even though you can tell there is not much pressure, but the shower just does not have enough pressure. Is there a way to adjust the pressure set point of the pump or should I be checking for something else. If I do replace the pump what would be a good replacement pump. I am not hearing anything good about the Shurflow 5.7.
Thanks.

Had 3 5.7s with poor results. You can adjust pressure though. As I recall there is an end cap with 5 screws in it (one on each corner and one in the middle). The pressure can be increased or decreased by turning the middle screw. Its been about 5 years since I had one so I think that's how I remember it. My problem was overpressure which made my lines leak, so I always turned it down.

I did not have a pressure regulator so I was afraid to connect to the campground supply. I just filled the tank and used the water pump. Today I got a regulator and found I had the same problem connected to water. Tore apart the shower head and and removed the rubber washer for the low flow regulator and it works fine. Thanks for the help.
