Common Concerns Answered
Will this system work on a boat without AC power?
This Flojet water booster system operates on 115V AC power. Boats primarily running on 12V systems will require an inverter or generator to power this unit.
Is the pressure high enough for serious washdown tasks?
While rated at 40 PSI, some heavy-duty commercial washdown applications may benefit from higher pressure systems. This unit provides robust pressure for most recreational and light commercial tasks.
Is the 115V requirement a problem for typical boat setups?
The 115V requirement is a consideration for boats without a reliable AC power source. If your vessel primarily uses 12V systems, ensure you have the appropriate power conversion capabilities.
