BurCam 506532SS ¾ HP dual application jet pump

Powerful, heavy duty and reliable

I purchased this pump a few months ago. After our 2020 income tax refund I purchased a water softener for the house. But the city water pressure for my house is too low for the softener to work properly so I needed to boost the pressure. This pump did exactly that. The city pressure supply is around 40 psi with nothing running but drops to below 14psi when running anything in the house but never below 10 psi. Even the tankless water heater shut itself down mid shower because the city pressure would drop so low. I needed a steady 40 psi to 45 psi for the softener and a steady 25 psi for the tankless water heater but wanted at least 60 psi for the house appliances and faucets and shower. I installed the pump it and it increased the pressure to the house by 65 psi so it had a fluctuating 105 psi with the pump - dependant on what the city pressure was doing. I tried the 105 psi for a couple of days. But taking a shower with 105 psi was like showering with a pressure washer and the pipes were rattling and whining when the water was being run. The toilet had a squealing sound when refilling at that pressure. So I had to go in and install a pressure regulators on both the input and output sides of the pump to regulate the final pressure to the 60 psi that I wanted. The pressure regulators also helped to stabilize the pressure so its not fluctuating based upon the city pressure any more. Also the tankless water heater has never shut off mid shower since the pump install. The pump has its own built in pressure switch and controls but these are not adjustable. I do wish that there was a way to adjust the controls pressures. Also the input and output ports are 1 inch which a lot of house plumbing is either 1/2" or 3/4" in my area so I had to install it by using reducer fittings and extra piping. Also the pump requires at least 3 ft of 1 inch pipe on the output side before it can be reduced down to the house piping size. For me it's 3/4" for the main run and reduced again to 1/2" further down line. Unfortunately, the instruction paper is not very detailed in the specks and requirements. I had to go online and email the company and ask for technical installation advice for the missing details in the instruction papers. But their tech emailed me back quickly with the information I needed less than one day later. The pump works great and keeps up even with my 5 kids and my wife and I taking showers and running the laundry everyday.

This pump works very well! Mine came a bit bent, but I was able to fix it. We use it at our RV (very remote location). We bring water in a 100 gallon bladder and transfer to another collapsible tank. The pump pulls from the tank and delivers 30+ psig to the RV whenever a faucet, valve, etc. is opened. Great pressure!The fittings are 1" NPT. If you use it in the set-up where no water is bypassed or recirculated, I recommend getting a 1" NPT plug fitting to replace the priming port fitting (it does leak easily). The manual says you need 3'-5' of 1" pipe after the pump. I tried it with and without the extra pipe, it will work just fine. I had a 25' hose and the pump detected the pressure drop and kicked on.

La pompe est compacte et très légère. Bonne débit et Bonne pression 65 lbs.Le contrôleur garde la pression entre 55 et 65 lbs et la pompe ne démarre pas si il y a pas assez d’eau à l’entrée plus de soucis de brûler la pompe.

Pump did not work, sent it back, still waiting for a refundIf someoycoukd look into that and get back to me would be appreciated
