Water Commander

We get asked about the sizes of our Water Commander pumps, so here's a new illustration showing dimensions for both our MG22 and MG36 models. And remember that if you're installing in a narrow area, both pumps can also be installed vertically to save space. You can position each pump as high or low as needed, and have several 90 degree turns in both the suction and discharge pipes to fit your space.

We just posted a new YouTube short showing a demo of our model MG36! It shows how fast the MG36 pumps on a 1" line at 60 PSI.

This email from Matt in New Jersey made our day! Thanks Matt!

"Thank you for your help and professionalism. Dealing with your company has been like a throwback to when people picked up the phone, didn’t have to dial several prompts only to be disconnected, spoke coherently, knew what they were talking about, were extremely helpful, solved the problem efficiently and stood by their products. I thought companies like yours were extinct. They should teach this in business school. Thank you so much and for making my day."

Here's a well-done Water Commander install by Eric in Minnesota. He maximized the pumping power by mounting the model MG22 close to the floor and by using a 1" PEX water supply line (instead of ¾") to ensure unrestricted water flow. Eric positioned the pump vertically, which works well for his space.

Here's a short video we made showing how to identify the type and size of water main in your home. In addition to good water pressure, a properly sized inlet pipe that allows for sufficient water flow is important for optimum pumping. You want to connect Water Commander™ pumps to at least 3/4" water line going all the way back to the main.
