Review on 💦 Grundfos SCALA2 98562818 3-45 AVCBDF 1x115V 60Hz Auto Water Pressure Boost Pump by Adrian Woodside

I use this pump to increase the water pressure in my house (3 stories). I have 40psi out of town and it drops to around 30-32psi when three elements are working. Pretty sure we used the kitchen sink, sink and shower for testing. It's a little pricey, but on par with more expensive pumps in terms of cost. I've tried a few cheap ($100) pumps but they either wouldn't install (poor threads) or failed within a month (automatic on/off flow sensor). With a three story house and poor water pressure, we needed help to get started. The pump itself was easy to install, the space I installed it in is quite small so the piping was a little tricky for me. As you can see from the photo, I had to dream a little. However, it worked fine. The pump works great, I set it at 60psi, I think it will go up to 70-75 if I want to. The ideal is 60-70, so this pump is a great option. He seems to have pretty good controls to control himself and definitely keeps the pressure where I need it. There are many reviews of this pump leaking. I discussed this at length with the Grundfos dealer. To wrap up this conversation, make sure your pump is from 2020 or later. There is a four-digit number on the type plate, it must be 20xx or higher. xx is the week of 2020 it was built. Older models have leaks that Grundfos seem to fix under warranty. Just don't start with an old pump. For my home, high blood pressure is 100% worth the time and money spent.
