AUTO Booster Pump +Pressure & Flow switch

Pump is sturdy and made well! Was a bit rough finding the 1” fittings to adapt to 3/4” pax but I did find them online. I installed myself in my attic. I installed at point of entry of Maine water line coming into attic that way entire house would get a boost. It’s nice that is comes on and turns off on its own. It runs on a second or 2 after water starts flowing. It’s not a drastic increase in pressure, but definitely does increase pressure. In our case it definitely did what we bought it for, to run a rain shower panel in our shower. I would say it’s about a 33% increase in pressure. You can hear it inside the house as it runs in the attic. I may go up there and install a rubber or foam mat to cushion the vibration and noise. It’s not super loud but you can hear it. Still worth the install.

My first impression of the pump was that it was well-made. After installation, however, I was disappointed. At first, it did not work; the red light was always on. I pulled down the inlet pipe and added some water into the pump head, then it worked! I wondered if it really had suction,but actually the air in the pipeline affected that. It leaked like a sieve; almost every junction had a leak. I wondered if the pump was broken, so I messaged the seller. After seeing their support center link, I had to admit that it might have been my mistake. I had only just received the goods, so I didn't think it was the second leakage type. I did not call a plumber, as that is not a small expense. When I connected the pump to the PPR pipe, I thought the thread between the plastic and the metal was very tight so I did not wind the PTFE TAPE around it (very stupid mistake). I found the upper black switch was not tight, it could be rotated easily. But when the switch is screwed tight, the switch screen is turned towards the side of the pump.However, ugly is better than leaking. I wrapped the inlet and the outlet connections up thickly in PTEF TAPE. This proved to be very effective. Now the pump works very well, except for the noise. However, relative to the high water pressure of the household water, the noise doesn't matter.

I bought the Simar brand of these pressure pumps about three years ago- ( Around $600 bucks ) LAsted about three years- Went to @#$%- Had an even more expencive one befor that- Went to @#$% as well- JUst installed this guy - First - It looks idenical to the $600 Simar pump- It works perfrctly- And is extremly quiet - Pretty happy so far- It has a 18 month warranty- So we will see- So for just over $200 bucks the pressue is great-

The pump worked great for the first year. We installed it in our residential home to boost our water pressure. Unfortunately, a year later, the pump itself began to leak and is irreparable. Now we have to pay for a whole new pump and a plumber to install. Another $1000 down the drain. Not sure if we’ll install this pump again.

As an owner of the booster pump, my initial experience was nothing short of impressive. The unit's performance was outstanding, providing strong and consistent water pressure throughout my home. However, after a year, just after the warranty expired, I noticed a gradual decline in its pump output, which has left me quite disappointed. In the first few months, the booster pump operated flawlessly, boosting water pressure to satisfactory levels. However, as time went on, I began to observe a noticeable reduction in its efficiency. The water pressure became weaker, causing a noticeable impact on the overall functionality of my water fixtures and appliances. Despite regular maintenance and proper care, the decline in the pump's output persisted. It's frustrating to experience this issue right after the warranty period ended, as it left me with no recourse for a replacement or repair support. I reached out to the manufacturer's customer service, but they insisted that since the warranty had expired, there was little they could do. It's unfortunate that the decline in the pump's performance happened just after the warranty coverage ended, as this issue now falls solely on me to address and bear the financial burden of any necessary repairs or replacements. While the initial performance of the booster pump was commendable, the fact that it lost its pump output so soon after the warranty period is a significant concern. It has left me questioning the long-term reliability of this particular product. In conclusion, I find myself disappointed with the booster pump's performance. Despite its initial effectiveness, the subsequent loss of pump output just after a year of use and right after the warranty expired has left me dissatisfied and apprehensive about considering this brand or model in the future. I hope this review serves as a cautionary note for other potential buyers, urging them to carefully evaluate the long-term reliability and support offered by the manufacturer before making a purchase decision

This pulp is a work horse. I installed a booster pump for my home. I didn't know how to lower the pressure, so it ran constantly in the garage. Pressure in home was maintained at 100psi. What a great feeling to shower with high pressure while the sprinklers are on. This unit ran for over six years non stop with a water leak dripping on it and calcifying for years before finally giving out. Once installed and the fittings are aligned with your system, replacing the unit took only an hour. Highly recommended

I’m using to boost pressure on a line. Works great, a little noisy but not terrible. Install is straight forward but have fought leaks consistently which is reason for lower install rating. Not sure the answer but glad mine is mounted outside as the leaks have been an issue. Reading other reviews seems to be a consistent issue.

It was very difficult to get all the joints to stop leaking. It's too bad there are so many pieces to be put together.
