[RE-wrenches] TIny House Pump

Greetings Esteemed Wrenches:

We have a tiny house project, and need to supply the pressure pump. My 
go to pump has been the Grundfos MQ series of constant pressure pumps.  
They have no start up surge, and don't require an external pressure 
switch or pressure tank.  For small part time cabins, we've used the 
Shurflo or Aquatec diapraghm pumps.
In this case, I fee that the Grundfos is overkill at 10 GPM, and that 
the RV pumps won't last very long in full time use.  Any other choices 
out there I should be looking at?
I'm thinking 3 GPM max will be fine, but I would like something more 
reliable.  The pump would be preferred to be 120 vac, but I might 
consider a 24 vdc unit if it otherwise fits the bill.

As always, thanks in advance for all your comments and suggestions.
