House Water Pump

[Pete Masterson]

I've got one of those, too. Both of my dual water pumps were leaking and in need of a rebuild. Considering the labor and cost, it was easier to just replace the two of them with the variable speed pump. It also eliminates the need for the expansion tank. 

The Microphor toilet is a little sensitive to the water pressure and it does not flush properly when the pressure exceeds 50 psi. I find that briefly opening the sink faucet then flipping the toilet handle before the pump kicks in is a reasonable work around. One of these days I'll install a pressure reducer on the line feeding the Microphor.

However, keep in mind that the 65 psi _is_ a bit higher than the 45 psi or so that is the typical current maximum. Be sure your plumbing is up to the load.

I ahve the same thought. Surflow 65Psi @ 5.7 GPM Variable speed. I haven't installed it. Just have it in the bay for a spare when needed. 

Someone will chime in here...I believe Pete Masterson said that after installing the 65PSI pump...something about having to open a faucet to lower the pressure for the air toilet to work.

M house water pump works fine, but it is old so I am considering 
replacing it just for piece of mind. Can anyone suggest a good 
brand/model?
