A Reliable Replacement Water Pump for Your Ice Castle
Your Ice Castle's fresh-water system makes time on the ice more comfortable by supplying running water to compatible interior fixtures. When the original pump stops working, experiences reduced water pressure, or develops a leak, replacing it with a properly matched pump can help restore the convenience of onboard plumbing.
The Flojet R3526144B is designed for compatible 12-volt RV and fish-house fresh-water systems. It moves water from an onboard tank into the interior plumbing whenever the system calls for water.
Best for: Ice Castle owners replacing an existing Flojet R3526144B or servicing a compatible fresh-water plumbing system. Verify the existing pump model, electrical requirements, plumbing connections, and mounting dimensions before ordering.
Features That Make a Difference
Automatic On-Demand Operation
The integrated pressure switch activates the pump when system pressure drops and shuts it off when the plumbing reaches the specified pressure. Enjoy water at your faucet without manually operating the pump each time.
Up to 3 GPM Open Flow
Delivers up to 3 gallons per minute of open flow to support compatible sinks, showers, faucets, and RV plumbing fixtures. Actual flow depends on water pressure and system restrictions.
Three-Chamber Diaphragm Design
Flojet's triplex diaphragm system is engineered for consistent water delivery. Its integrated bypass helps reduce pressure pulsation and frequent cycling during operation.
Self-Priming Performance
Designed to self-prime with up to approximately 9 feet of suction lift under suitable installation conditions, providing flexibility when connecting the pump to your freshwater tank.
Reduced Noise and Vibration
Soft vibration-absorbing mounts help minimize operating noise transmitted into the fish-house structure. Flexible plumbing connections can further reduce vibration.
Convenient Quick-Connect Ports
Snap-in port fittings with retaining clips simplify installation, servicing, and winterization. Match the appropriate adapters and plumbing connections to your existing water system.

Specifications reflect the identified pump and Flojet 3526-series documentation. Actual water delivery depends on system pressure and plumbing conditions. Verify replacement compatibility and follow the electrical ratings printed on your pump.
How the Flojet On-Demand Water Pump Works
The Flojet R3526144B is designed to be installed between your fresh-water holding tank and the interior plumbing system.
When you open a faucet, plumbing pressure decreases. The pump's internal pressure switch detects the pressure drop and automatically activates the motor to move water through the plumbing.
Once the faucet is closed and the system reaches its designated shutoff pressure, the pump automatically stops. Its internal bypass helps manage pressure fluctuations, providing more consistent operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Flojet R3526144B work in my Ice Castle Fish House?
It is suitable for compatible 12V fresh-water plumbing systems. Compare your current pump's model number, electrical requirements, mounting dimensions, and water connections before purchasing. Different Ice Castle models and production years may use different plumbing components.
Does this pump automatically turn on when I open a faucet?
Yes. Once the pump's electrical switch is enabled and the water system is operating correctly, its internal pressure switch automatically starts the pump when pressure decreases and stops it after pressure is restored.
What could cause my existing water pump to lose pressure?
Common causes include an empty fresh-water tank, clogged inlet strainer, air entering the suction line, insufficient battery voltage, plumbing restrictions, worn pump components, or a defective pressure switch. Inspect the system before replacing the pump.
Does the Flojet RV water pump need a fuse?
Yes. The supplied R3526144B specification requires 10-amp fuse protection. The fuse is not included. Follow the pump's electrical instructions and ensure the wiring and circuit protection are properly sized.
Can the pump run without water?
The Flojet diaphragm design can tolerate incidental dry running. However, extended dry operation is not recommended. Follow the specified 5-minute ON / 10-minute OFF duty cycle and keep the water system properly maintained.
How do I protect this pump from freezing?
Winterize your Ice Castle's fresh-water system whenever freezing conditions are possible and the plumbing is not maintained above freezing. Drain and winterize the pump, water lines, and fixtures according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use only RV-approved potable-water antifreeze where specified.
What's Included?
Included: One Flojet R3526144B 12V RV fresh-water pump assembly with attached electrical leads, integrated pressure switch, and pump mounting feet.
Not included unless separately specified: Fresh-water tank, external inlet strainer, hose adapters, plumbing lines, fuse, wiring harness, external on/off switch, or installation hardware. Verify the required fittings for your existing installation before ordering.
