I am researching adding a booster pump to my 2 family house. The municipal water pressure comes into the basement at about 40psi, however the house is 4 stories and by the time it goes 45 feet up to the 4th floor the pressure is down to 20psi. The showers on the 3rd floor are also on the weak side. We have a 1" main and use 3/4 copper to each floor.
After reading a number of comments and posts, I am most interested in the newer variable speed or VFD type pumps that claim to keep a constant pressure. I would raise the pressure in the basement from 40psi to 60psi.
The 3 pumps I am considering are:
Towie Whitney TW1000-20W-40 (most expensive
Berkeley MIB0715B Intellobost VFD (mid priced)
DAB E.SYBOX Mini 3
Does anyone have any experience on these booster pumps or barands. I was only able to fine info on the Towie Whitney and they are very positive.
Thank you for your help.
