Hi.
I have used both for years now. The flojet is noisier and that's about it.

My flojet pump lasted 21/2 years before packing up which seems reasonable. Aquatech pumps are supposed to be good and I believe Gardiners are (or about to) selling a pump too.
With shurflo I believe you void the warranty if you use micro or mini-bore hose.
-
Have used 2 flojet for 6 yrs, none have give up the ghost. have got an aquatec now as well and it is uncanilly quiet.
-
Flojet out performs Shurflo
For less problems and longer life from Flojets.
We stopped supplying shurflos several years ago because we used to have dozens of faulty ones a year.
-
is it true that you can adjust the flow on a flojet with a turn of a screw eliminating the need of a flow controller? and auto shut off/start
-
You can adjust the pressure on a flojet.
I have 3 flojets 2 on my van system and 1 on my trolley and i'm well pleased with them.
I use flojets without flow contollers and have never needed to adjust the pressure.
Never used shurflo so can't comment on those.
I have only had one flojet go in 4 years and that was only due to it cracking when it froze.
-
I have 2 x 60psi flowjet pumps and they have never missed a beat in just under 3 and half years.
Well pleased,I love the noisy pumps.

Flojet are noisier but more reliable imo.
-
Flowjets are great, don't know if you could work without a flow controller, the screw is to adjust pressure not flow. Loud but proud. On a varistream 2 I have mine turned down to about half way and the flow is still great.

Short but sweet

Can't give a straight answer as I have only used the Surflow since I went WFP 3.5 years ago, If it packs in I will try a flojet and let you know.

Can you increase the pressure on the 60PSI flojet pumps to around 100 psi?
-
Yes you can, by adjusting the screw. It will be somewhere under the 100psi. It's easier to get a 100psi and adjust it down to 60psi.
-
thanks Alex, i only have a 60psi flowjet so as long as i can turn it up if needs be is good to know :)
