Jabsco Par-Max 2 Freshwater Pumps – Quiet, Efficient, and Reliable Water Supply
The Jabsco Par-Max 2 Freshwater Pumps are designed to provide consistent, on-demand freshwater flow for boats with up to two outlets. These compact, pressure-controlled diaphragm pumps deliver smooth, quiet operation with minimal vibration, making them ideal for supplying water to sinks, showers, and washdown taps.
Equipped with a three-chamber diaphragm and a built-in pressure switch, the pump automatically maintains water pressure by cutting in at approximately 25 PSI and cutting out at around 35 PSI. This ensures a steady flow of water without the pulsing common in older pump designs. With a flow rate of approximately 2 gallons per minute (7.6 litres per minute), the pump suits smaller vessels or systems requiring moderate water delivery.
Self-priming up to 3 metres, the Jabsco Par-Max 2 can be installed above the water tank or supply source, eliminating the need for manual priming. Its sealed, ignition-protected motor is built to withstand harsh marine environments and includes thermal overload protection to prevent damage during extended operation or dry running.
Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the pump housing is made of glass-filled polypropylene, while the internal components are designed for long-lasting performance. The pump’s quiet motor and vibration-isolating mounting system help reduce noise and prevent hull resonance, ensuring a pleasant onboard environment.
Installation is straightforward, with standard ½ inch (13 mm) hose connections and quick-connect hose barbs included for ease of use. The pump also features a 40-mesh strainer to prevent debris from entering and damaging the system. Its compact size allows it to fit neatly into confined spaces such as under sinks or in utility compartments.
Operating on 12 volts DC, the Jabsco Par-Max 2 draws approximately 6 amps when running at full pressure. It is commonly fused at 8 amps for safe and reliable use. The pump’s design includes a rotatable head for easy hose alignment during installation.
Overall, the Jabsco Par-Max 2 Freshwater Pumps provide reliable, quiet, and efficient freshwater delivery for small to medium marine applications, making them a trusted choice for boat owners seeking dependable water pressure and flow.
