KATSU Water Booster Pump 100W, Automatic & Manual Control Switch, Hot and Cold Water Pump for Garden Home Shower Washing Machine 151410

I have bought this item before and it was great. However this time around only lasted around six months of being installed. It was installed by same person. Old one out new one in. I’m very disappointed and now need to replace again. The first one lasted 21/2 years don’t understand as it’s the same model as before.

I needed to increase the kitchen hot water pressure on a gravity fed supply.Before buying this pump I read all the reviews, and despite there bring some that were less than glowing, decided to give it a chance.I am so pleased I did, for the price it is excellent, the build quality is adequate for the job at hand, it works exactly as required, at a fraction of the cost of a bulkier unit. not super powerful, ideal for a tap, possibly not so much for a shower? Easily doubled the pressure for me.It comes with minimal pipe fittings, so these will be required, but that is to be expected.Tip, plan where pump is being installed, plan the pipe layout, applying some basic common sense, all the required fittings are standard, readily available from the likes of B&Q, screwfix etc.Installation should be well within the capabilities of a competent DIYer, nothing too complex, just make sure everything is good and tight, follow the pump instructions, especially for the flow switch and you should be fine.It does not seem to run hot, even after extended running, no leaks, in fact none of the problems mentioned in other reviews.Great value product, would recommend.

Pump arrived quickly enough and easy to fit. The water flow switch was a bit fiddly when tryin to attach the water pipe but got it done. I used it to increase the pressure in the whole house, and it worked well for a small pump.....noise was acceptable too. Two issues I had were that the pump body gets quite hot after about 7 minutes of constant use which was a bit worrying. Sadly the pump developed a leak within a few days. Couldn't see exactly where, but it was from the actual body. It's a shame as it was a cost effective solution to low water pressure

bought this to boast the water pressure from my 500 gal "water butt" - to speed up the watering of my garden. the auto-side doesn't seem to work very well i.e it switches the power off when the hose is stopped, but doesn't switch back on when the flow starts again - other than that very pleased with the result. the pump motor does get hot though after prolonged usage (15 to 20 minutes)

We live in a place where water pressure is slow so I set up a static tank to supply to the machine with this pump.The pressure switch did not work, so we were using it initially with it turned on all of the time. This seemed ok, apart from the waste of electricity on the pump and additional noise.I did do the test as instructed in the video, and the pump did work in that setting. However I think when used with the standing tank the flow from the tank is not enough for the water to flow thorough the pump and up to the washing machine once the valve on the washing machine opens to accept water. The flow valve therefore does not recognise any movement and so it doesn't turn the pump back on.Anyway after three months of use it is now burn out. I assume this is because the pump was trying to pump water non stop when it wasn't needed, over stressing the pump and overheating it.The pump does not work as advertised.

Purchased this pump to boost the water pressure to my washing machine which was only getting its supply from gravity fed tank, causing it to pause and throw up an error saying it thought the supply had been shut off. The overall quality seems very good and the pump comes with a flow switch. This is used when the pump is set to auto mode so that when is senses water flow, it switches the pump on and therefore off again when the flow stops when the washing machine shuts off its valve. There is also a manual setting, so pump would run all the time and an off position. The fittings were compatible with the standard flexi hose fittings for washing machines/dishwashers, just had to fit an additional hose. (Easy, as I had a spare - original hose from pipe to pump, new hose from pump to machine)This has completely sorted the problem and the bracket is easily mounted on to the wall too. Well pleased, such a cost effective neat solution!

While the customer service is good, the product leaves much to be desired. The inlet adapter went rusty after a few weeks (I received an apology and partial refund), and now the cable connecting the auto switch to the motor has a loose connection. Not the best quality, hence the price.Update 13 Sep 2018 - The pump has become noisy, the sound is metallic; I suspect a worn bearing, as the unit overheats, causing the safety switch to cut out. One would have expected this item to last longer than a year.Update 1 May 2020 - The above pump was changed around the time of that review after the supplier agreed to a 40% discount against a replacement. 18 months later and the bearings have gone again. This pump is used to boost one hot water tap in our kitchen. Unless one needs a cheap pump for occasional use, I would recommend spending a bit more for better quality.

Gets very hot very shortly into operation and stopped working after 4 weeks. Not very happy

Scarsissima qualità. Resa

Tres bien. Facile à installer

Bien , cumple lo previsto.

Druck ist angenehm aber könnte mehr sein

Apres branchement sur une cuve à eau (en dessous du niveau pour alimenter la pompe) à 10 m je n'ai pas d'eau qui arrive sur le wc. La pompe tourne en manuel dans le vide, et ne tourne pas en automatique.
