Excellent pump, a little noisy.
Excellent product, easy to install. Perhaps a little noisy. You can hear it running, and also when it's running dry. Which is quite useful on a boat.

I've tried various pumps over the years. None of them lasted and performed as well as the parmax3. The boat is 3 pumps, one of them.just gave up, so i also plan to replace it with par max 3.
Very satisfied.

Good service with short delivery time
The product is good.

The electrical connection should have a plug-in connector.

The original old plug had to be cut off and connected to the open cable using clamps, so the pump could be reconnected to the old mating connector of the boat's electrical system.

That was definitely too complicated.

If the pump needs to be replaced again, pluggable contacts would be great.

A plug with screw terminals would allow for very quick pump installation.

There should also be a mounting plate for the pump that is securely screwed to the boat.

The pump itself should simply be plugged onto this plate, making a mechanical replacement very quick. Currently, four screws have to be driven into the boat hull.

I generally miss modern plug technology in boat electrical systems; many connections are still made using conventional electrical terminals.

Regardless, the actual delivery and the information about the order processing were very good; thank you for that.

Delivery difficulties
I had all the trouble in the world to recover my pump. Indeed in the shop in the morning I was told that there was nothing in my name. In the late afternoon I went back and saw a package stamped SVB with my name written on it, they didn't want to give it to me because UPS had blocked the package. I told them to call UPS meanwhile I called SVB who told me they were calling UPS. In the end I took out my ID card, they took a picture of it with the package and I got my pump back. It's perfect and does the job. Thank you to all the protagonists for what they have done, this is the first time that I have had problems like this and I hope it will be the last time.

top performance
Area of application boat, top performance, especially from SVB. Boat in Holland, water pump not working, what to do? Of course, call SVB, order the pump, arrive and install it the next day. That's called prompt help. Thanks for that, I'm always happy to order from SVB. Everything works, at least I can't report anything negative. Greetings from Bernhard

Long service life
The pump had been performing at its peak for over 10 years and now it was leaking. Since the seal kit wasn't exactly cheap, I immediately decided on a new pump.

Easy to install and leak-proof
Replacing the old pump with this one is very easy with similar space conditions. The click system is tight.

Jabsco pressure water pump Par - Max 3
The installation of the pump is very easy, the quality is excellent. The pumping noise is not annoying if the installation space is appropriate.

Jabsco pump to replace FloJet R4105143
The pressure water pump PAR-MAX 3 12 V 11 lmin 2.8 bar is used on board a 28 ft sailing yacht. It pumps "directly" without an expansion tank. Basically, it does what it's supposed to! However, you have to turn the faucet on wide to get a continuous pump performance. A small jet of water is not possible, if the tap is turned on too little, the water comes out in spurts and not in a "flow".
However, this behavior is significantly better than with the pressure water pump PAR-MAX 3 12 V 11 lmin 1.8 bar, which I tried out first.
