I have very little pressure, will this pump work to increase my water pressure in my home? Thanks

This model is only good for supplying water to maybe 2 or 3 faucets max. simultaneously. They have larger models for whole house applications. Sorry, not sure what the model #'s.

The pump works very well. I have seen pressure as high as 85 psi. This is not recommended as it could cause pipes to burst. Set presser switch to 60 cut off, 40 to cut on.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

Um... maybe. It will lift water about 6 inches maybe a little more if you choke the output. It comes with an extension tube and a couple of different spray attachments. I think it would be easy to attach a small hose to it.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

Have low pressure, so i needed a boster pump. Installed about 3 months ago. Works flawlessly.

I did not notice any difference in the pressure. If it's increased pressure that you desire make an adjustment on your pressure switch.

I am using it for the entire house as a recirculating pump. You need to talk to your plumber, who is better prepared to answer your concern. My feeling is that it will not work for your case.

The pressure doesn't seem high to me unless I twist the unit to engage the "massage" feature, which I never do anyway. My home water pressure is between 40 & 60 psi, which is the most common range in the US, so you should be good to go unless you have unusually high pressure like people sometimes get with public utilities when they are very close to a water tower.

Only if you get the unit with the pump that helps with homes with low water pressure. Most homes don't need it.

My house has marginal water pressure to begin with - barely enough to sustain a pressure washer with a normal hose. I tried with one of these and it was no better or worse - actually performed better than I would've expected - until it burst a week later.

I used it on a water cooler, to pump water into a holding tank, but found the pressure was very low, I really don't know as to your application, but if your need a good flow, this is not the pump, for you.

The tip is so tiny the pressure may be enough to be effective. I don't even open my faucet halfway to get enough pressure. Hope this helps!

This pump works good for me. I pump water from a 55 gallon barrel about 8 feet to a shower.I'm not sure it will "lift" water from 15 feet or not?Look at a bigger pump. It's your call.

I know my home has higher than normal water pressure, and 3 out of 3 of these stopped working reliably for me after less than a dozen uses, so I think they can't hand anything higher than the typical pressure range of water mains. I wouldn't be surprised if 200 psi blew the thing up.

The pump will work fine. Biggest problem is the pressure switch that comes with it. It is non adjustable and cut in pressure is so low you pretty much run out of water before it kicks in. There are adjustable switches available that are adjustable and not expensive.

This is precisely the reason I purchased this pressure switch. I had one that was set to 30-50 and I wanted to raise my house pressure to 40-60 and this pressure switch worked just fine. I have a Goulds 5GS07412 at 275 feet below the surface. I think this is a 1/2 hp.
