The Jabsco Par-Max HD6 is a 12V DC freshwater delivery pump rated at 6 GPM and 60 PSI. A built-in sealed pressure switch starts it on demand, and a bypass module reduces cycling for smoother flow. It can run dry without damage. It has two 3/4 in straight hosebarb ports. The maximum draw is 18.0 amps, with a 25A fuse size.
Our take
With a maximum draw of 18.0 amps and a 25A fuse size, the 12V Par-Max HD6 calls for wiring and a breaker sized to match. Because it can run dry without damage, an empty tank will not harm the pump.
From our buying guide
Size a freshwater pump by the outlets that must run at once. Jabsco's rule of thumb is 1 GPM per outlet, and the listed flow is open flow, which falls as pressure rises.
Check before you buy:
- The data sheet shows flow at pressure. One Shurflo gives 4.0 GPM at 0 psi and 2.0 GPM at 40 psi.
- You have an inlet strainer, which Jabsco says is required in every freshwater pump installation.
- An accumulator suits the pump. Jabsco says one cuts cycling on a pressure-switch system, and not to use its accumulators with variable-speed pumps.
