Material Increase of Flow Pressure,
November 2, 2009
By glasslaw from Houston, TX
"Used this pump in Panama in a high rise condo to increase the hot water pressure needed for use in single lever bath faucets to allow for proper mixing. It was used in connection with a Bosch gas tankless water heater. The increase in pressure when the hot water was activated was precisely what was needed for the shower faucets to properly work. It was well worth the effort to import and install the pump."

Great booster pump for my well,
July 20, 2009
By 2Nelson2 from Dutchess County, NY
"I bought it to boost a 30 - 50 lb well system to give more constant pressure. It adds 4o lbs to the pressure and a regulator keeps the house pressure under 65. It works great. I had a problem once and tech support helped me fix it in about 10 minutes. 5 years and r
unning great with no problem signs."

Flotec PressureMate pump Model #FP4815,
April 14, 2008
"This pump was a perfect solution for my problem. I needed to improve my water pressure from a well that is about 100 Ft from the house. By the time I pushed the water from the well, through a sediment filter and water softner, the pressure was around 30 lbs. This pump improved the pressure to 70 lbs on average.
It was easy to install, and has been flawless in operation. It has a control switch on top to set the kick on pressure. I kept it at the factory setting and didn't need to make any changes.
It quickly senses water flow and kicks on immediately.
The only complaint I have is that it will run for 15 seconds minimum which I don't think is necessary or at least, that should have a way to set it to something other than 15 seconds, since I mounted the pump on a pre-charged tank.
Its a quality built pump. Not cheap in price, but you get what you pay for."

great addition to a shallow well pump,
July 23, 2007
"This pressure increaser was added to a shallow well pump set for 20/40. With the PressureMate set at 30 psi startup, system pressure tops off at around 75 psi. Constant use activities such as the shower are much better now.
Setup was easy (use plenty of teflon tape!!)
My unit is a bit noisy, though- well worth it for the benefits."

Good Product with Good Warranty,
June 22, 2007
By NOLARenovator from New Orleans, LA
"I live in New Orleans. We have had lots of water pressure problems after Katrina that left the water often trickling out of my third floor bathrooms if anyone downstairs used a faucet. With the PressureMate, I now have 80# and great showers even when the sprinkler system is running. I recently had a problem with the unit - the pressure switch would not turn the unit off so it would run for 15 seconds after demand ceased and stop on the protection system - no flow pump. Called Flotec and they suggested for me to take a look at a couple things. Called the next day when that did not help and they had Tiger Direct send me a new one. Really simple. Had the unit for a year and was surprised there was a 3 year warranty on it.
The unit was also easy to hook up. As long as you know how to sweat or screw pipe, you are good to go. Otherwise it should be about a 2-3 hour job for a plumber.
As for recommending this product - I did to my neighbor and he is happy too."

Pressure to Spare,
May 27, 2007
"Great unit! I purchased two - one for my sprinkler system and one for my house. Very quite operation and easy to setup. Builds up to 100 psi if you have a 30/50 system so add a pressure relief valve for system safety. One of the best plug and play units I have seen. If you are tired of low pressure or problems flushing while someone is in the shower this unit will solve the problem. Makes well owners feel like they are on city water. Use a check valve on the inlet and teflon tape on the fittings to prevent leaks."
