Does the pump shut off at a certain pressure? Would this pump work as an inline water pressure booster?

No it does not shut off. It would work as an inline water pressure booster but it won't shut off.

This pump works fine as an inline pressure booster. As far as a pressure shut off, I believe the only factors are; it is not self priming, and if the start up head pressure is to high the pump is unable to perform.

You should install a pressure switch if you want the pump to shut off automatically.

I don't think the pump turns off if the well goes dry. I don't have it near an open window and it's fine. I have other issues with mine and even sent it in to get it fixed and some of the features still don't work (can't set my timer for sleep mode). It's great if you just want a fan. I think it does chill up a small room really well. I cheat and fill up the well with 90% ice and just a little water. Good to clean out the fridge automatic ice maker.

No, it only shuts off the water when it reaches a certain temp. It's not an on/off switch. You'll need to get a shower head that does that.

This is a booster pump, by definition should have little or no suction but boost the pressure from 1 psi to 20-40psi.I use it to boost a gravity feed from a storage tank feed by a RO to run a ice-machine that requires 20 psi to activate.If using a foot valve and primed it may pull from 6 feet but doubt if it could self prime 6 feet.

Yes & we run ours at 40lbs of pressure, & when it builds up it shuts it's self off.

no, you'll need some sort of holding [non pressurized tank] for this pump, then use an RV water pump booster (about 100+ dollars) to pressurize the pressure tank, use a std water well pressure switch to turn on/off this booster pump....

yes My shut off is under the water meter cover by the street. When I lift the cover, the valve is about one foot down. This works to shut off all water to my house.

Do u mean pump shuts down like no electric or water not moving? Water stops mean air in system open valves one at a time and burp the pump. Remove air

Yes, it simply turns the power on and off, but not all pumps are meant to be started frequently. I have good experience with Hydor, bad experience with cheap pumps.

The pump does shut off so it does have a pressure sensitive switch. I don't know what PSI it reaches when it shuts off. Great, reliable pump.

This is a pretty simple device, and I have not experienced anything like this. Assuming that your water supply has a constant pressure, I would suspect that the pump may be failing and is "locking up" intermittently. I would check and see that the hose from the water supply is not kinking and the hose to the nozzle is also not kinking, though either of these would be fairly conspicuous.i would think. The first one of these I bought failed completely after about 8 hours use, I returned it for a replacement and have had no problems with it.

The PSI rating is not stated, neither in the manual or on the unit. The pump does however has a pressure switch that shuts the pump of when the flow is zero.

Yes, The on-off switch is as depicted in the image. I do not use this switch because I have a remote in-line switch in my hook-up but I would have no problem with using the pump-mounted switch. And, yes, as another reviewer stated, the pump does have a pressure switch.

Yes you can push up on the lever to lock on for continuous flow and it will shut off when you push it back down.Or you can hold it down for a small amount of water flow, and it will spring back to shut off when released.

It shuts off when the reservoir is full, but not when the desired temp is reached. However, it is very quiet, so you don't notice that it runs constantly.

Yes you will get a little more pressure What those numbers mean is the pump will run until the pressure reaches 60 lbs then shut off and will not come on again until the pressure drop to 40 lbs then comes on and pumps up to 60 again

It shuts off automatically, but not based on collection jug level. It has a float switch inside that turns it off when inside water level gets low. If jug is emptied before each run, it works great. If jug was partially full before a run it would overflow.
