It works. I've had it installed for a year now, and it continues to work to boost the water pressure in my house. We are on a mountain, well above the municipal water supply line, and had pressure in our house that was generally between 25-40 psi. It annoyed my wife. I considered adding a pressure tank and pump, but used this instead. It took me a few hours to install, and had completely solved the problem. I ensured that we have high strength lines between the pump and pressure regulator to the house just in case the input pressure increases and the boost pump creates what would otherwise be an over-pressure for the house plumbing.I mounted the pump to plywood over 3/4" stryrofoam and bolted down to platform in our basement. That side of the basement is not insulated from the house. I can hear it come on if I listen for it, but it is a background hum, not a problem at all.It does not run continuously, coming on only when we are using the water. There is not an adjustment for the flow-rate sensor, so our low-flow faucet on the kitchen sink was just below the threshhold to trigger the pump. Given that this was where it most annoyed my wife that we had low pressure, I replaced our kitchen faucet with a higher flow model that triggers the pump. The old faucet didn't have the spray power she wanted even with the pump on, so it's possible that if I had replaced the faucet first, I wouldn't have put in the pump. Still, I like the extra pressure in the shower and out of the hose, so totally worth it.

This pump was purchased to replace one that was stolen from the well house that provided all the water to the house. Since I didn't know anything about the original pump, I did some research online and through friends that knew about house booster pumps. After reading many of the reviews on Amazon about this pump. It had the right pipe size to fit and stainless steel parts that my friends had said I should find for a pump to be used for drinking water.The whole installation too me only 20 minutes, which included cutting new PVC pipes to match up to the pump and cut pipes. Turned it on and there was enough pressure at the house to run showers, toilets, the dishwasher and hoses. Not all at once, of course ;-), but two showers can run and someone can flush a toilet with little to no difference in water pressure. The pump is quiet and has been working for four months with no troubles.This pump is really worth the money, compared to quotes I had been given for replacements, it was about $100 less through Amazon and even has its own pressure sensor switch, which meant I didn't need to wire it up to the old inline pressure switch.There is nothing negative I can say about this pump given the application I am using it on.

We use a rural water system and because we are high on a hill above the main line, we have very little pressure at our house. So when we first built our house, we installed an elaborate system with a pump, pressure tank, and two pressure switches that has worked well for 20 years, although when something goes wrong it's a nightmare to work on. Recently the pump finally died and while looking around for an exact replacement, I came across this pressure booster pump. All the descriptions and reviews made it sound like just what I needed, so I ordered it, and amazingly, it was actually BETTER than what I was replacing. I was able to just cut off the pressure tank and two switches in the system and go with the straight pump, located right next to the water meter...It pushes the water up the hill and boosts it from about 25-30 pounds up to around 70....within seconds of turning on the water, the pump kicks in and the pressure remains steady, unlike my old system where it gradually decreased until the pump would kick on again. It even has a safety shut-off; last week the rural system itself suffered a burned out pump, and for about 3 days we would go from plenty of water to none. This pump automatically shuts down when there is no or little water in the system, which prevents burn-out.Oh, and did I mention, that this was the easiest thing of its type I've ever installed...Believe it or not, all the fittings from the old system fit the new pump perfectly...all I had to do was disconnect the two unions, screw the adapters into the new pump, and then retighten the unions. I was stunned...usually a project like this takes multiple adapters, fittings, trips to the hardware store, and lots of aggravation...I highly recommend this product to ANYONE that has low pressure for whatever the reason....this will fix it!May 23, 2013UPDATE. This pump worked GREAT until....our neighbor drove by our water meter and pump house and noticed water pouring out....he shut off the water at the meter and called me. When we turned it back on, water was shooting out around the flange/seal area...I'm sure one of the seals has blown. Ironically, it is 3 weeks more than a year old! Just out of warranty. I am tempted to order a second one, then fix this one and keep it for a backup....I don't have much choice if I want more than 15-20 pound pressure in my house....reviews on other similar pumps are much worse...Changing to 4 stars

I recently installed a tankless water heater prior to purchasing the 3075SS. With my tankless unit, it needed a inline filter so small particles would not get to the heater. I live on top of a hill, and pressure was already low (30-40psi). After I installed the tankless unit and whole house filter, you could not run more then one faucet at a time. A shower would work fine, but a kitchen faucet would just have a slow trickle. I found this on Amazon, read the reviews, and made the purchase. Installation was simple enough. The 1" male and female fittings were a slight pain to get down to 1/2" supply for my home. Make sure to also install a one way check valve available at any home improvement store. The check valve will allow a higher maintained pressure in the pipes. The unit after installed was a night and day difference. Showers had pressure again, I could run two-three faucets and not have an issue. Pressure was a rise to 38psi at the highest point in my home. If you are looking for a reliable fix, this is the one. You can't beat the warranty either.
