LIPPERT 3.0 GPM / 50 PSI NSF/ANSI 372 CERTIFIED

689052 Flow Max Fresh Water Pump -- 12V DC, 3.0 GPM, 50 PSI, Self-Priming

Consistent water pressure across every fixture in your RV. The Lippert Flow Max 689052 delivers 3.0 gallons per minute at 50 PSI -- enough pressure for larger coaches with extended plumbing runs, multiple fixtures, or a full bathroom. Built with a corrosion-resistant motor, a self-priming design that pulls water from up to 6 feet below the pump inlet, and dry-run protection so it won't burn out if the tank runs empty. Certified NSF/ANSI 372 for drinking water safety. Backed by a 2-year warranty.

High-Pressure RV Water Delivery with Quiet, Reliable Operation

The Flow Max 689052 is Lippert's answer to the SHURflo 4008 series -- a direct-replacement 12V demand pump sized for Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel coaches where water pressure consistency matters. At 50 PSI shutoff, it maintains pressure that matches or exceeds what most campground hookups provide, so you won't notice a drop in performance when running off your fresh tank.

The demand-activated pressure switch cycles the pump on when you open a faucet and shuts it off automatically when the line reaches operating pressure. No manual switching required. The 3-chamber diaphragm design minimizes pulsation, keeping flow smooth at the showerhead and kitchen sink alike.

3.0 GPM Flow Rate

Strong delivery for multi-fixture RVs, longer plumbing runs, and full bathroom setups.

50 PSI Shutoff

High-pressure output maintains consistent flow pressure at every faucet and showerhead.

Self-Priming Design

Primes itself from up to 6 feet below the inlet -- no manual priming needed after install.

Dry-Run Safe

Pump survives running without water, protecting against accidental tank run-outs.

What's Included

  • Lippert Flow Max 689052 12V fresh water pump
  • Inlet screen filter (pre-installed or included separately for inline use)
  • Inlet and outlet fittings/connectors
  • Mounting hardware (screws)

Strainer/filter prevents debris from entering the pump head. A downstream pressure regulator is recommended when connecting to city water -- this pump is not a pressure regulator.

Direct Replacement for SHURflo 4008 Series

The Lippert 689052 is engineered as a drop-in replacement for the SHURflo 4008-101-A65, 4008-101-E65, and related 4008 series pumps. Mounting footprint, port locations, and 1/2 inch barbed inlet/outlet fittings are compatible with existing plumbing and mount points in most RV applications that used a SHURflo 4008. No adapter fittings or rewiring required in most installations.

NSF/ANSI 372 Drinking Water Certification

NSF/ANSI 372 certification means the Flow Max is verified for low lead content and is safe for use in potable (drinking) water systems. Internal wetted components -- including the pump head, diaphragm, and check valves -- are made from materials rated for contact with drinking water. This is the same standard required for residential plumbing fixtures.

Installation Notes

The 689052 mounts in the same footprint as the SHURflo 4008 series using four screws into the base plate. Ports accept 1/2 inch NPT fittings or barbed 1/2 inch hose connections. The pump requires a fused 12V DC power source -- use a minimum 10-amp inline fuse on the positive lead. Locate the pump as close to the fresh water tank as possible to maximize self-priming performance. Anti-vibration mounting pads are recommended to reduce noise transmission through the coach floor (sold separately).

Installation Tips

  • Mount pump horizontally with the motor above the pump head for best priming performance.
  • Secure inlet hose fittings tightly -- air leaks on the inlet side prevent priming.
  • Always install the included inline screen filter on the inlet side to protect the diaphragm.
  • Use a pressure-reducing valve downstream (at the city water inlet) to protect fixtures -- this pump can exceed typical fixture ratings at full output.
  • Fuse the 12V feed at 10-15 amps at the source.

Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect and clean the inlet screen filter at the start of each season or after any sediment event.
  • Winterize by blowing out lines or running RV antifreeze through the pump -- do not allow water to freeze inside the pump head.
  • If flow rate drops noticeably, check the inlet screen for debris before assuming pump failure.
  • Diaphragm rebuild kits are available separately for extended service life.

Commonly Paired Accessories

  • Anti-vibration pump mounting pads -- reduce noise and vibration transfer to the floor
  • Inline water filter (NSF-rated) -- protects pump and improves taste/odor
  • Pressure regulator (45 PSI) -- recommended at the city water inlet
  • 1/2 inch barbed hose fittings and clamps -- for custom plumbing runs

Important Information -- Read Before Installing

  • This pump outputs up to 50 PSI -- always install a pressure-reducing valve at the city water inlet to protect downstream fixtures rated below 50 PSI.
  • Designed for 12V DC systems only. Do not connect to 24V systems or any AC power source.
  • Always fuse the 12V positive lead at 10-15 amps at the power source. Unfused wiring is a fire hazard.
  • Install the included inlet screen filter before connecting to the water supply. Operating without the filter risks diaphragm damage from debris.
  • Do not allow water to freeze inside the pump head -- winterize before temperatures drop below 32 deg F.
  • This pump is for fresh water use only. Do not use with saltwater, chemicals, fuels, or gray/black water.
  • A city water inlet bypass and check valve are NOT included -- verify your RV's existing city water check valve is functional before pressurizing.
