Davey Water Products BT20-30T2-USA Home Pressure Booster Pump with Torrium II Controller

The media could not be loaded. Good pump very powerful, works great for my 3 story home with 4 bathrooms . No leaks not too loud in basement , had 35 psi now have 65 psi , use a lot of good teflon tape and get ready for that Great water pressure . Easy install . Hope this helps . Definitely one the best home water boosters on the market had for almost 5 years and hope to get alot more years out of it

I bought an old house and even though I have city water, I only had 20 psi water pressure. I don’t know how the previous owner put up with it. I installed this booster pump and exactly as described, was now pushing 70 psi. Prior to purchasing, My biggest reservation after reading the reviews was a problem with leaks. I also had leaking at the flex pipe. I wound up removing the flex pipe altogether since I installed everything with pex. Also make sure you install a pressure regulator on the supply line upstream of the booster pump. Even though this unit is a little pricier than some of the others, I bought this one because of the controls. I have zero regrets and would highly recommend this unit as it has worked perfectly since I got the leakage under control

Replaced my AI McDonald Duro Max booster pump. This unit installed easily. No leaks and has worked well so far. Unit seems to be of high quality and was packaged well

Had to replace my booster pump so went with Davey. The first pump they sent me was defective so I sent that back and got a new one as advised by the Helpdesk.This one works really well. Will see how long it works as promised. So far so good.

The inlet valve on this pump is 1.25", the output is 1". The noise when operating is about the same as a roomba; it's noticeable from 10' away if you listen for it, but the pump only operates when needed, so most of the timeits silent. Right now I have the pump set loose on a concrete block, I'm going to pour a small concrete footing for it and bolt it to that to see if that reduces the hum a little bit, but overall I'm not concerned about it.The controller swivels on top of the pump so you can orient it was you need to for installation. For householduse the spin up of the pump is not noticeable to me. I did not need to put in a pressurized container to maintain flow, just straight off the pump.I installed this primarily to boost water pressure for showers and to deliver more water in a shorter time; measured at the pump the pressure gauge says 92, at the faucet at the other end of the house 80.I operate a farm, and there are a couple of low-volume animal water troughs hooked up to the house water. I had to adjust the float valves on those troughs in response to the higher water pressure, but I did not have to adjust toilets, ice maker, or any other water use around the house, so the installation in that respect was rather painless.

This is a very loud pump that is supposed to kick on whenever you have water running. After having it installed for about three months the pump with just cycle on and then kick off. The pump will build pressure up to 80 pounds then shut off and then immediately dropped down to 60 and come back on. We did a lot of troubleshooting But it turns out that this pump is not that smart. On top of not working correctly, this thing is super loud. I had it installed under my house but could hear it on the second floor upstairs anytime it kicked on. This made it pretty aggravating once it started running when it wasn’t supposed to be running. Long story short don’t buy this thing. If you’re having issues with water pressure just buy a tank and a jet pump. Also is cycled off and on so much that the vibration wears out the pipe threads on the intake and would keep leaking water no matter how often you tighten it up or how much thread tape you use.

The inlet is 1 1/4" and the outlet is 1". For the inlet, most people will need a 1 1/4" to 1" reducing brass bushing if you have 1" connection from the water source. Use lots of Teflon plumber's tape to keep this bushing from leaking. You likely will NOT find a good reducing bushing at your local hardware store. I used a very good quality pressure regulator by Cash Acme with 1" pex fittings AFTER the pump (EB25-DUPE also available on amazon -- don't buy a cheap one). I set water pressure to 55 psi. I also have an expansion tank installed on cold water line near the hot water heater inlet. The expansion tank also helps to stabilize water pressure and keep the water-hammer effect from triggering the control head on the pump from turning the Davey Pump on and off with pressure fluctuations (if I understand this correctly). You need an expansion tank for the hot water heater any way so it's not like you had to add the tank just for the pump. So to recap sequence: City water > Davey Booster Pump with Torrium 2 controller > Pressure Regulator > Expansion tank > lines to water heater and cold water for entire house. Pressure is a perfect 55 psi all the time... or whatever pressure I want. Residence shouldn't exceed 60 psi in most cases.

I have now had this since 2020, so almost 4 years. The pump works great. The one and only issue I have had is that once the pump turns off at a certain pressure, in my case around 75 pounds, the pressure will continue to creep up over time - to over 100+ pounds (until the water is used and then it resets back to 75 psi).Luckily, my water lines have held, but today I had an old water heater die. In an attempt to fix the pressure creep, I am installing a pressure tank on the cold side. The pressure creep does not come from any thermal (or whatever it is called) expansion from the hot water heater. I have disconnected basically everything other than the cold, even bypassing the water heater totally, and I still get pressure creep after the pump cycles.I noticed that Davey has come out with new models of these pumps that have built in expansion tanks. I am guessing that whatever causes this issue, they have made the newer model pumps to deal with it by bleeding off extra pressure and keeping the pressure constant.I would suggest getting one of the newer digital models with the built in expansion tank.
