It's brilliant
The pump is functioning very well, it's doing the job. It's quite the flow rate is perfect 👌 .I love everything about it.Noise level is good.

Good pump
Pump appears to be good value and quality. It is fairly easy to fit if you can do basic plumbing and fit an electrical plug.It was perhaps not as powerful as I had hoped but it does the job.

260 watt pump
Impressed by this pump given the price which is reasonable. It is a small pump that can be mounted on a wall with two screws or bolts. Water connections are standard 3/4 inch BSP, I used speedfit connectors which make for a leak free easy fit. The pump has a separate flow control valve which cuts off the motor when it reaches full pressure and is connected to the pump by a fly lead. Pressure is very good for a small pump (probably about 1 to 2 bar) and fairly quiet, you will hear a loud hum when the motor is running but all pumps do this and it is not disturbing. One very good point is that water flow is still good when the pump is turned off so if there is a power cut you wont have a problem.The pump has a 3 position switch. Setting 1 is continuous pumping, mid setting is off, setting 2 is flow controlled so pump turns off when it has reached pressure (i.e. tap turned off). Both settings are the same flow rate.When fitting it is awkward to screw the bracket to a wall because the pump body gets in the way, use short 6mm coach screws and a small socket or spanner. Note it does not come with a plug and the cable is very short so you may need to extend it.Bought a second pump which has a faulty pressure switch. Vendor has immediately responded and is sending a replacement so well done for that.

Used to boost hot supply to two gravity feed showers
Previous reviews were a bit mixed but cheap enough to try anyway. Installation was easy, and pump no noisier than expected. The spec says the terminations are 3/4in, but they are 1/2in so installed with 2 flexi tap connectors to 22mm push fit. When running the hot water the pump starts Ok but after turning the water off, it continues to cycle on and off every few seconds until powered off then back on. I've installed it part way through the system and suspect a non return valve will fix this problem. The two showers now have excellent flow. Would recommend.

Did not meet expectations
The media could not be loaded. Increases the water pressure by 0.3 - 0.4 bar. This is very small for a power of 260W. I bought it in the UK, took it to an apartment in Turkey, I have very weak water pressure on the top floor. I installed it in front of the running water heater. The effect is very small. I think it has an unfortunate design of the water impeller, which creates pressure. It's like she's idling. One of the advantages is quiet. But useless. I'm going back to the UK in a week, I'll be looking for something else to replace.

Erratic at best - Flowswitch pretty much useless.
This is a bit difficult, but you buy the whole package, and there is a problem with one part. In itself the actual pump unit is good, it delivers water as you would want / expect. When you set it to permanently on the pump will run (probably burn out if you left on with the atpp off) but no one is actually going to go to the pump location to use the manual on switch are they?I have it fitted to my hot tap in the kitchen, the water tank is in the attic about 17 feet above (plus about 2 feet water depth, so lets say there is 17 ft head. When on auto, sometimes the pump comes on when you turn on the tap, sometimes it doesn't. I's say about one in four times. SOmetimes a we fiddle moving it between hot and cold brings it on. If you have it running, then switch off the tap for a short time (1-30 seconds), it never comes back on.UPDATE - One month later, this does not come on automatically at all. Basically useless because of the flow switch. To remove would mean altering the pipework - again!I'm guessing the problem is the flow switch, but I would not buy this product again.

Perfect
Was better constructed and smaller than I invisaged also quieter, it's not silent but acceptable, needed for kitchen hot supply and was able to fit under floor unit behind kickboard so no loss of storage, perfect

ok pump, some issues. see below.
pump is powerful, fairly easy to install with correct fittings. ( although I am a handyman by trade ) Its not any more noisy than other more expensive pumps I have seen. The pressure is close to mains pressure. The only problem I have had with it after a few weeks of use is that after running a bath or shower, sometimes it does not shut off automatically, needing you to run (normally naked and wet!) to the airing cupboard where it is installed and press the reset button on the plug. This may be because the water in my tank is pretty hot and I don't think the pump likes that! It is normally fine for short use.
