yes they have 42 gal tank
1/2 horse
9 amps at 110v
4.5 amps at 220v
110v or 220v
available everywhere in baja
these were a deal at $350 each but we bought 6 units
purchased in mulege
i've seen them at the hardware stores here in town for $450
lots of water pressure here...
i think when you take a shower you should be able to "pressure wash" those fish guts OFF

put the pump on top of a pressure tank

Do you sacrifice pressure, volume by using a tank instead of just the pump.

the pump has 1 inch piping
the house 1/2 inch normally up to 3/4 inch
if there is a volume loss you don't notice it
the tank gives you about 5-6 gallons BEFORE the pump turns on
and gives you a better pressure regulated flow
also it keeps pressure in the lines like regular USA waer service to avoid "sucking air" thru faucets if you have a lousy pump or backflow device
our tanks are underground and do not provide ANY pressure tothe casitas

I have a friend here in San Bruno that runs his entire house with a Shurflo pump, but he wore out a variable pump and Shurflo recommended that he go
with the heavy duty washdown pump. He has now had that pump in for a year and it has performed perfectly. I found the best prices here:

I have a spare one if you are in the Santa Rosalia Area and need one right away.

Thanks Pescador,
just doing my homework while we are still in "pre-finishing touches" to our new home. Bob gave me some good ideas and I actually talked to a rep from
Shurflo about pressurized tanks. Still gathering, considering going 12volt directly to the battery and bypassing the invertor.
Roughing in the electrical, drains, water, and starting drywall this weekend, in fact, leaving in 40 minutes from now.
Back on Tuesday, have a great weekend everyone!
