Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SHURFLO from 3G Electric.
What is the typical operating voltage for SHURFLO electric sprayer pumps?
SHURFLO electric sprayer pumps, such as the 8000-811-288 and 2088-394-154 models, are designed for 120V AC or 115V AC operation. These voltages are standard for industrial and agricultural environments in North America and other regions using similar electrical systems. Always verify the specific voltage rating on the pump nameplate before installation to ensure compatibility with your power supply.
What materials are used in SHURFLO diaphragm pump housings and valves?
SHURFLO diaphragm pumps are available with nylon or polypropylene housings, depending on the model. For example, the 8000-811-288 uses nylon, while the 2088-394-154 uses polypropylene. Valve components are made from Santoprene or Viton elastomers, chosen for chemical resistance and durability. The 94-390-15 valve kit includes Viton valves for compatibility with the 8000 series pumps.
How does the demand pressure switch work on SHURFLO sprayer pumps?
The demand pressure switch on SHURFLO on-demand electric sprayer pumps automatically starts the pump when a downstream pressure drop occurs (e.g., when a spray gun is opened) and stops it when the system reaches a preset pressure. This eliminates the need for a separate pressure tank and reduces energy consumption by running only when fluid is being dispensed.
What is the filtration capacity of the SHURFLO inline water filter model 94-470-01-75?
The SHURFLO inline water filter (MPN 94-470-01-75) has a 5-micron rating and a flow rate of 3 gpm. It uses carbon media to reduce chlorine taste and sediment, with a total capacity of 6,000 gallons before replacement is recommended. The filter features quick-connect fittings and a 15-inch overall height for easy installation in point-of-use water systems.
Are SHURFLO booster pump systems compatible with beverage dispensing equipment?
Yes, SHURFLO booster pump systems, such as models 804-023, 804-037, and 804-066, are designed for beverage water booster applications. These systems operate on 115V AC with 1/3 hp motors and feature 3/8-inch barbed fittings for connection to beverage lines. They are commonly used to maintain consistent water pressure for coffee machines, soda dispensers, and other commercial beverage equipment.
What repair kits are available for SHURFLO 8000 series sprayer pumps?
SHURFLO offers the 94-390-15 valve repair kit for the 8000 series electric sprayer pumps. This kit includes a complete Viton valve assembly, which replaces worn valves to restore pump performance. It is compatible with models such as 4UN55 and other 8000 series pumps. The Viton material provides resistance to a range of chemicals and extends service life in demanding applications.
