Municipal pressure pump

[binetc]

I am considering a pump to boost pressure. This is the one I was looking at:

Is this a good system?
any better ones out there?
Just starting the process...

Just get a regular jet pump with a pressure tank and pressure switch. This link is an example of the problems people are having with the type of pump in your link. https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?27600-Surging-Pump&highlight=davey+torrium

Thank you.
Is the pside-kick set-up all I need or is a galvenized tank (like 40 gals) necessary as well?

The Pside-Kick will work with a regular jet pump. Otherwise you will need a larger tank.

pump sizing and recommendation

Who makes a good Jet pump? I am sure this has been discussed ad nauseam elsewhere but the Cliff Notes or a link would help me a lot.

AY McDonald, Flint & Walling, Goulds, Sta-Rite, just to name a few.

Something seems weird with this thread.... stuff missing. Did torrium threaten to sue someone for all the well placed derogatory comments? Are not opinions still postable? Is this the chinese google?

Just get a small "packaged pump system" with the pump, tank, and controls already assembled. Install the system "sidearm", so the water does NOT flow through the pump when the city pressure is adequate, and the pump is only used when the pressure drops.
