Installation usually takes a few hours. You don't need any special tools or knowledge; putting together the inlet plumbing is considered the most complicated part. You'll want the pump to be as close as possible to the water source, at most 20 feet away. 

And the final step is to prime the pump with water, there's an easy to reach hole above the inlet that you'll pour water into. Priming preps the pump to help remove air pockets.

Yes! The Eco-Steady Booster Pump line was designed with energy efficiency in mind. Each pump operates on a range of power that starts on the low end, say if you only open one faucet, and increases power as your needs increase, if that faucet is open, and then someone starts taking a shower. You'll never use more power than needed for each part of your day.

If you have an existing pump that doesn't supply sufficient pressure or flow to your house, usually this is because the pump is either a) old and starting to break down or b) too far away from the house/destination for the water, and is not properly sized for the job you need it to do. 

An Eco-Steady Booster Pump is not right for a direct in-line application, meaning it's placed somewhere along the existing pipeline and attempts to bump the pressure from whatever the existing pump can provide. 

But if you place a storage tank along the pipeline and allow the Eco-Steady to boost from the tank, you'll be really pleased with the consistent flow and pressure you'll receive!
