Hello,
TL;DR Looking for a QUIET pump to go with a PK1A Pside-Kick for a small family home.
Long time listener, first time caller here. I've recently added another story to my house, which includes a full bathroom. Unfortunately, while I was expecting a tolerable shower output, it's a little more disappointing than I thought. I measured water pressure in my house from my garden spigot at about 33 PSI, though the max needle showed that it could sometimes get as high as 80 (WTF?).
I'm on our municipal water supply and since I'm near the top of the hill, I figure that I'm getting the best I can from the city.
Lurking on these forums, I'm sold on using a Cycle Stop Valve and a Pside-Kick is going to be on my shopping list in the near future. What I'm less sure on is whether a Goulds shallow well jet pump is appropriate for my application (which is often recommended along with the CSV).
Whatever pump I'm going to get is directly under my living room, and I don't want to hear a noisy pump every time someone flushes a toilet in our house.
We have a total of 2.5 baths, and a single kitchen sink, plus usual dishwasher, washing machine, etc, packed into a 1600 ft 3 story home.
