Shurflo designed this pump for marine use, to supply household pressure on large boats. While not as heavy duty as the Flowlight, the Shurflo 2088 is a quality alternative. The Flojet Quad provides as much as 3.6 gallons per minute, and can run dry without harm. It shuts off automatically when pressure reaches 45 psi and it turns on again at 25 psi. The pressure switch can be adjusted to turn off from 30-50 psi. It is self priming to 9 feet. Home pressurization installation requires a precharged pressure tank (see above). The 2088 comes in 12 and 24 volt DC models as well as 115 volt AC. For general purpose pumping applications, the 2088 can lift water over 100 feet. Dimensions are 10" x 5" x 4.5". The 12 and 24 models each come with two versions, deluxe and premium, while the 115 volt AC model comes in deluxe only.


The 12 volt deluxe model will provide up to 3.5 gallons per minute (gpm) and draws between 5 and 10 amps. Flow at 40 psi is about 2.2 gpm at 9.1 amps. The 24 volt deluxe model will provide up to 3 gpm and draws about 2.5 amps. Flow at 40 psi is about 1.25 gpm at 2.7 amps. The 115 volt AC model will provide up to 3.3 gallons per minute (gpm) and draws between .5 and 1.0 amps. Flow at 40 psi is about 1.85 gpm at .85 amps.
