(More customer reviews)I ordered the Flotec unit through Amazon but supplied by Northern Tool and received the Simer equivalent. I called Northern Tool and they said they don't carry the Flotec and it was a mix up with Amazon and themselves. Northern Tool offered to take it back, but I kept the Simer unit since I wanted to get the install done and they offered to refund the shipping ($23.xx). The Simer unit has been installed for about 3 weeks now and works great. I installed a large filter before the unit and 3 smaller filters after the unit with a pressure gauge after the 3 filters. Without the unit plugged in, the well pump cycled between 22 and 42 PSI. I plugged in the unit and now the pressure reaches about 68-70 PSI. There is a delay before the unit kicks in, sometimes longer than others, but it always kicks in. I wish I had installed one of these 3 years ago when I moved into this house. Side note. It has 1 inch inlet and outlet ports and I had 3/4" piping, so I bumped up the piping to 1" before the first filter(which was 1" anyways) so it has a few feet of 1" piping before the pump. This was to prevent cavitation that the instructions said might happen if smaller piping was used. I would recommend this unit though the Simer can be found for cheaper than the Flotec. I knew the Flotec name and had done research on pricing and reviews. Amazon has a seller selling the Simer for cheaper than the Northern Tool's "Flotec"/Simer, so if you want Flotec brand like I did, don't buy from Northern, and if you don't mind a Simer, buy from the other seller on Amazon. Update: Amazon refunded my purchase price of 339.99 after I told them of bait and switch and now Northern Tool has sent it to a collection agency. Beware of Northern Tool!! Better Business Bureau, here I come!!
