The Fiamma Aqua 8F 12V 7 Litre Water Pump provides a dependable fresh water supply for caravans, motorhomes, campervans and boats. Designed for automatic operation, the built-in pressure switch starts the pump when a tap is opened and stops it when the tap is closed, giving smooth and reliable water flow throughout your system. The Aqua 8F features a four-chamber diaphragm design, integrated filter and self-priming capability, making it suitable for both new installations and replacement of existing Fiamma pumps.
Ideal for smaller water systems with one or two outlets, this 7 litre per minute model offers a good balance of water flow, low power consumption and quiet operation.
The Aqua 8F is one of Fiamma's latest pressure pumps, combining reliable water delivery with quieter operation and simplified installation. The integrated filter protects the pump from debris while the automatic pressure switch ensures water is supplied only when required, helping reduce power consumption and wear on the pump.
Yes. The Aqua 8F 7L has a 1.5 bar (21.75 PSI) pressure switch, making it suitable for many Truma Ultrastore and Truma Combi water heating systems. Always check your boiler's maximum operating pressure before installation.
In many cases, yes. If your existing pump has a similar flow rate, pressure rating and pipe connections, the Aqua 8F can be used as a direct replacement. Before ordering, compare the flow rate (L/min), pressure (Bar or PSI), electrical supply and plumbing connections.
No. The pump will operate without one. However, fitting an accumulator helps smooth the water flow, reduces pump cycling, lowers vibration and noise, and can extend the life of the pump. An accumulator is recommended where space allows.
Yes. The pump is designed for potable water systems using approved materials.
Yes. The Aqua 8F is designed as the latest generation replacement for earlier Aqua 8 models, subject to confirming your pipework and electrical connections.
This is usually caused by a small water leak, trapped air in the system, a blocked inlet filter, a faulty non-return valve or a pressure switch that needs adjustment. If no leaks are found, fitting an accumulator can also reduce unnecessary pump cycling.
Yes. The Aqua 8F is self-priming and can draw water from a tank positioned below the pump. It is also designed to tolerate short periods of dry running, although prolonged dry running should be avoided as it can reduce the pump's service life.
