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.

I had the pressure enhancer professionally installed by a licensed plumber. I have a 4-story row house and the water pressure in the bedrooms on the top two levels was <40psi. The pump was installed on the ground level. The pump fixed the problem, but it was so noisy, it could be heard setting/resetting at all levels of the house. While I was out of town, the unit cracked and began leaking, ultimately flooding my garage. My amazon return window ended a month after purchase. This is an expensive pump and should work for more than 3 months. I read the reviews and selected this pump based on the stellar ratings, but wow. MAJOR disappointment. Now I'm out $1500 (with the installation costs), had to manage a flooded garage and repair while on travel, and am back at square one.

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

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.
