I bought this pump because my mom wanted better pressure than her old 1/2 HP Starts with M pump could provide. It could barely manage 50 PSI. I did an areator install since why not they did it that way in a housing development I install septic electronics in. Literally dropped the pump into the tank and plumbed it into an 86 gallon AO Smith Pressure Tank solid 1.25 inch PVC. I posted a video of how long it took to pump the system up from 0 to 70 PSI. The only bad thing I could say about the pump is the built in check valve failed on the first pump up. I could hear the water going back into the areator. But they do highly recommend you install your own. To the person complaining that the 0.5hp pump couldn't do 80 PSI. I've NEVER seen a 0.5 HP pump do much over 50 PSI. It takes at least a 3/4 horse to do 80 PSI. Their 1 5hp 115V 4 wire that I got does it without issue and more. Picture posted of that as well.
