I ordered the variable speed 5.7 GPM Shurflo in my '07 RS3 and it is satisfactory. I did have a period where it would stop running and required a cycle of the power switch to get it to restart. At that time it did not run up to speed and would growl away at very low RPM when the faucets were closed. Before I could analyze the problem the condition disappeared. I believe it may have been due to foreign matter affecting the operation of the pump. If so, it cleared out on its own and has run normally since then. I can't fault the pump for that and it works well for us.
