Choose from five different models with varying performance curves for most any application
Hydraulic Performance is the amount of pressure boost the pump will add to your incoming pressure at a specific flow rate. Select the best pump for your application based upon your existing incoming pressure and desired combined system pressure (Usually < 80 psi to meet local building codes.) Model / Voltage / Incoming Pressure Range
- BT14-30 / 120V / 22-60 psi Incoming Pressure
- BT14-45 / 120V / 2-40 psi Incoming Pressure
- BT20-30 / 120V / 10-50 psi Incoming Pressure
- BT20-40 / 240V / 0-20 psi Incoming Pressure
- BT30-30 / 240V / 10-50 psi Incoming Pressure
Note: Do not exceed a Maximum System Pressure of 100 psi (incoming pressure PLUS pump boost).

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

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.

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.

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.

Let's start with the good:1) For the first 3 months it produced GREAT water pressure2) Install was not too difficultMoving onto the bad1) The intake connection leaked and it was difficult to stop2) after 4 1/2 months it does not keep pressure up above 20psi when you flush the toilet3) tried to contact customer support and went through the prompts and it hung up on meI know that others love this pump but it failed within 4 1/2 months of use for me.

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.

This booster pump, by Davie Water Products, has to be the best pump on the market. After being without water for nine days we were very excited about the delivery. The delivery had been held up by a snowstorm, then an ice storm but it finally arrived. We were able to install it without any difficulties. We were surprised to see that we had to put it together but that went well. Cannot recommend this product enough! 😊👍 The product is as described by the manufacturer. The water pressure in our home is significantly superior to our previous 10 year old pump. This has to pump uphill about 900 feet. Great pump!
