Water system pump

[Scarlett]

Don’t know if you guys are familiar with these Marco pumps. Just installed one a week ago and it seems to work very well. Eliminates the need for an accumulator tank, shuts off if you run out of water, all metal construction, made in Italy. Dry smooth water flow and plenty of flow for multiple fixtures. Time will tell, but so far I am very impressed. So much better than the old Par variable speed pumps. Only downside is cost, pretty expensive.

How much water pressure does it put out?

 

[Scarlett]

36.3. 6.9 gallons per minute flow, they also have a 12 gal per minute model. Plenty for my old copper tubbing.

Scarlett are you still happy with the Marco pump? Is the 6.9gpm model with 36psi adequate?

And how much was it?

 

[Scarlett]

So far so good, plenty of pressure for multiple outlets. Can fill the washing machine while showering without even noticing a drop in water flow. Bought it on my wholesale account at Fisheries Supply and I think it was around $400.00. Best thing about it is the computer in it can tell if you run out of water and it shuts off the pump

I’ve installed the Marco 14 pump. Cost is long forgotten when you’re not replacing the pump regularly. I have a gauge on the system and it’s always 38 psi nearly regardless of how many fixtures are open. Maybe a tad bit noisy when running full out. The logic system micromanages the pump speed incredibly precise. Great pump
