SHURFLO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SHURFLO from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the SHURFLO 2088 and 8000 series sprayer pumps?
The SHURFLO 2088 series and 8000 series are both on-demand electric diaphragm pumps with demand pressure switches and Santoprene components. The 2088 series models in our list use polypropylene housings, while the 8000 series models use nylon housings and operate on 120V AC. Specific part numbers determine voltage and housing material. Both series are self-priming and designed for sprayer applications. Selection depends on the required voltage, chemical compatibility of the housing material, and the specific flow and pressure needs of the system. Always verify the manufacturer part number for the exact configuration.
What contaminants do SHURFLO multi-purpose water filter systems reduce?
SHURFLO multi-purpose water filter systems use carbon media to reduce specific contaminants. Depending on the model, they target scale, chlorine taste, or sediment. For example, part number 94-751-01-75 reduces scale, 94-751-00-75 reduces chlorine taste, and 94-479-00-75 reduces sediment. All listed models have a 5-micron filtration rating, 3 gpm flow rate, NPT connections, 16-inch overall height, and 6,000-gallon capacity. The carbon media is the active filtration component. Choose the model based on the water quality issue you need to address.
Are SHURFLO on-demand sprayer pumps self-priming?
Yes, the SHURFLO on-demand electric diaphragm sprayer pumps listed are self-priming. This means they can draw fluid from a tank or source without manual priming, provided the pump is installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The self-priming design is suitable for sprayer systems where the pump may be mounted above the liquid level. The demand pressure switch automatically starts and stops the pump based on pressure, maintaining system pressure without a separate control. This feature simplifies operation in intermittent sprayer applications.
What are the voltage options for SHURFLO 8000 series sprayer pumps?
The SHURFLO 8000 series sprayer pumps in our current list operate on 120V AC. Specific models include the 8000-813-238 and 8000-811-288, both with nylon housings and Santoprene components. These pumps feature a demand pressure switch for automatic operation. For other voltage options, consult the manufacturer's catalog or contact 3G Electric with the required specifications. The 2088 series includes models that may operate on different voltages; always check the individual part number for the exact voltage rating.
What is the flow rate and capacity of SHURFLO multi-purpose water filter systems?
SHURFLO multi-purpose water filter systems listed have a 3 gpm flow rate and a 6,000-gallon capacity. They use carbon filter media with a 5-micron filtration level. Connections are NPT, and the overall height is 16 inches. These specifications apply to the models we carry, including part numbers 94-751-01-75, 94-751-00-75, and 94-479-00-75. The capacity indicates the volume of water that can be treated before replacement is needed, depending on water quality and usage. Flow rate is at the specified pressure; actual performance may vary with system conditions.
What housing materials are used in SHURFLO sprayer pumps?
SHURFLO on-demand electric sprayer pumps are available with polypropylene or nylon housings, depending on the model. The 2088 series models in our list use polypropylene, while the 8000 series models use nylon. All listed models use Santoprene components for the diaphragm and valves. Housing material affects chemical compatibility and temperature limits. Polypropylene offers broad chemical resistance, while nylon provides higher strength and rigidity. Verify compatibility with the fluids being pumped. The manufacturer part number identifies the exact housing material.
