Davey Water Products BT14-45T2-USA Home Pressure Booster Pump with Torrium II Controller

I’ve had this pump working for about two weeks now and it’s working great. Boosted up the water pressure in the house. Easy to install, no leaks and quiet. If it holds up, I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Super easy to install. Quieter than most people’s washers and dryers for instance, but not as quiet as most newer refrigerators. Used for boosting weak pressure on two irrigation zones. Works perfectly. Senses water flow, turns on. Flow stops, turns off. It’s only been installed for about a month. But be aware. If there is the tiniest leakage at your irrigation valve(s), the pump will run. And the smaller the seepage, the more “short cycling “ will happen. That is my experience. As a safeguard, I installed a timer to connect the pump to and set it to match the irrigation controller schedule. Works perfectly. I use well water and some silt and sand finds its way to my sprinkler valves causing them to stay open a bit. But that’s a different subject. So far, the pump is great.

Pump work great for 5 years but soon thereafter started failing. Became very loud and before finally quitting altogether. For price was hoping to get a longer life expectancy. Will not buy again

I installed two of these pumps to feed two separate houses when we added an above ground water storage tank to our property. Each pump is feeding a separate house being that you shouldn't pressurize the same line with two or more pumps. (I know alot of pumps out there can run on the same line in tandem but it states in the instructions on this pump not to do that.) Honestly I don't have anything bad to say about this pump. I guess to start with the good I would say it's well built and very solid. I researched a few other pump options but the other top choices were more plastic body and not quite as serviceable. Secondly it's fairly quiet. When I close the pump house door I can't hear either pump unless I'm standing in the immediate area (within 10'). Third, it gives great pressure with decent gallon per minute flow. It maintaines 45 PSI when you have 14 GPM of flow. In reality you should almost always have closer to the max 60 PSI under normal household use. Considering that in America your typical sink faucet only uses 1.6-2.2 GPM and a typical shower only uses 2.5 GPM the likelihood of you reaching 14 GPM is pretty low unless you live in a fairly large/busy household. That being said, even if you do reach the 14 GPM I'd say 45 PSI is still fairly respectable considering water pressure on a standard well setup only ranges from 30-50 or 40-60 PSI depending on your pressure switch. Another huge plus for some people is the 110v power vs 220v power other pumps have (many with inferior specs). In closing, there's alot of great qualities about this pump (many that I haven't even mentioned) and I highly recommend it if you are pumping from a storage tank or are boosting municipal water pressure. All that being said, I encourage everyone to do the proper research and make sure the pump will work for your specific application. Davey makes several other pumps in the torrium line that are better suited to different uses and it's important to research that so you don't make a costly mistake.

Using it for more than 6 months works flawless

Replacing check-valve after 1 month of lite use. Other than not holding pressure upon shutting down its a nice pump for the price.

Worked for about 1.5 years and then it started leaking from the pump shaft. I will try to replace the seals with a BT Seal Kit # 315 MBPL Update: This seal replacement kit worked well, we will see how long it lasts.

Had an old pump that was leaking and replaced with the Davey. Install was a breeze and I have more pressure than what I had before. Plus this pump is much quieter. Only been installed for a day. Will update it is on use for a while. Davey and Fresh water systems customer service was also amazing in helping decide on what pump was best for my needs.
