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

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

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

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 bought the BT20-30T2 to replace a Grundfos Scala2 that started leaking after about 2 years. This one appears to be more powerful and better built. It's also less noisy. The output connection is 1" and comes with a flex pipe connection. That's great. The intake connection is 1-1/4" which needed a few adapters to reduce it to 3/4" pressure regulator. Once you get the correct fittings, the installation becomes a straight forward. You need to add a pressur regulator before the pump to keep the entered pressure at 30psi. The pump adds 50psi and you get 80psi out. I added a guage at the out line to read what pressure is coming out. It's at 80 psi constantly. It has been installed and running for a week now. I am just hoping that it will not leak for a long time.

Leaks, pump comes on all the time due to leaking down pressure. Needs a pressure valve about $200 between pump and supply tank. Needs a padded foot mount to reduce vibration. I have three of them due to break downs. Pumps dont rebuild well either. Worked great initially. 🥴 extremely tired of messing with these pumps. Likely a pressure tank would reduce pump cycling? Not sure, but with valve, tank and pump your in over 1k. Very disappointed. I ordered another rebuild kit 2 months ago. Never got it. Those are $80. Maybe they are out of them due to customer pump failures? Sad to say, but harbor freight may be the better option? At least they know their stuff sucks and will just give you another one everytime you need it. Just need to come up with a pressure activating switch...

Returning and will the buy the same as a replacement.It is a great product, and the leak was small, but not acceptable. It functioned as described, and loved the improved water pressure. Still waiting for the refund so I can purchase again.Aug, still waiting... Aug 25 and this is Sept 9 and still nothing? Maybe rethinking if I should buy the same replacement item, and number of stars....

Great pressure boost. Know your configuration. Take time to use enough Teflon tape. Once installed it would be a hassle to undo for leaks so use extra the first time. Tape only no pipe dope. Trick is to put pressure regulator before the unit to get desired pressure to house. Not to loud. Works well. Put a pressure gauge on the back side after pump to see outgoing pressure
