Simer 3075SS-01 3/4 HP Pressure Booster Pump

It works. I've had it installed for a year now, and it continues to work to boost the water pressure in my house. We are on a mountain, well above the municipal water supply line, and had pressure in our house that was generally between 25-40 psi. It annoyed my wife. I considered adding a pressure tank and pump, but used this instead. It took me a few hours to install, and had completely solved the problem. I ensured that we have high strength lines between the pump and pressure regulator to the house just in case the input pressure increases and the boost pump creates what would otherwise be an over-pressure for the house plumbing.I mounted the pump to plywood over 3/4" stryrofoam and bolted down to platform in our basement. That side of the basement is not insulated from the house. I can hear it come on if I listen for it, but it is a background hum, not a problem at all.It does not run continuously, coming on only when we are using the water. There is not an adjustment for the flow-rate sensor, so our low-flow faucet on the kitchen sink was just below the threshhold to trigger the pump. Given that this was where it most annoyed my wife that we had low pressure, I replaced our kitchen faucet with a higher flow model that triggers the pump. The old faucet didn't have the spray power she wanted even with the pump on, so it's possible that if I had replaced the faucet first, I wouldn't have put in the pump. Still, I like the extra pressure in the shower and out of the hose, so totally worth it.

The pump works very well. However, be prepared to modify your connections because the inlet valve is slightly off-center compared to the original one. I called the supplier with my question about the change in the inlet and outlet ports, and he was very helpful. Also, if you are replacing the earlier version, this is the newer version, but it is the same pump. The Amazon website has pictures of both, but it doesn’t tell you that the new version supersedes the old version, which is no longer available.

Durability is bad and it is very loud. Installed this 2 years ago and now the motor has gone out. The pressure was fine but the device could be heard throughout the house, so much so that you actually had to turn up the TV even though the pump is in my basement and pretty far from where we are. It started out not that bad but within a month the noise got worse and worse. Have been dealing with it for 2 years and it just kept getting worse. Now the motor has totally stopped working. Not a pump I could recommend.

Best pump ever purchased. My first pump was purchased in 2015. Lasted 10 years with 8 people in the family. We have 2 washers and 2 dryers. This pump was heavily used. Getting a new one today for another 10 years! Easy install and very quiet.

We use a rural water system and because we are high on a hill above the main line, we have very little pressure at our house. So when we first built our house, we installed an elaborate system with a pump, pressure tank, and two pressure switches that has worked well for 20 years, although when something goes wrong it's a nightmare to work on. Recently the pump finally died and while looking around for an exact replacement, I came across this pressure booster pump. All the descriptions and reviews made it sound like just what I needed, so I ordered it, and amazingly, it was actually BETTER than what I was replacing. I was able to just cut off the pressure tank and two switches in the system and go with the straight pump, located right next to the water meter...It pushes the water up the hill and boosts it from about 25-30 pounds up to around 70....within seconds of turning on the water, the pump kicks in and the pressure remains steady, unlike my old system where it gradually decreased until the pump would kick on again. It even has a safety shut-off; last week the rural system itself suffered a burned out pump, and for about 3 days we would go from plenty of water to none. This pump automatically shuts down when there is no or little water in the system, which prevents burn-out.Oh, and did I mention, that this was the easiest thing of its type I've ever installed...Believe it or not, all the fittings from the old system fit the new pump perfectly...all I had to do was disconnect the two unions, screw the adapters into the new pump, and then retighten the unions. I was stunned...usually a project like this takes multiple adapters, fittings, trips to the hardware store, and lots of aggravation...I highly recommend this product to ANYONE that has low pressure for whatever the reason....this will fix it!May 23, 2013UPDATE. This pump worked GREAT until....our neighbor drove by our water meter and pump house and noticed water pouring out....he shut off the water at the meter and called me. When we turned it back on, water was shooting out around the flange/seal area...I'm sure one of the seals has blown. Ironically, it is 3 weeks more than a year old! Just out of warranty. I am tempted to order a second one, then fix this one and keep it for a backup....I don't have much choice if I want more than 15-20 pound pressure in my house....reviews on other similar pumps are much worse...Changing to 4 stars
