General Product Questions & Solutions
Well Manager® Well Water System Solutions & Questions
What is Well Manager®, and how does it work?
Well Manager® is a water management system designed to solve low-yield well issues(0.25 GPM or more). It collects water slowly from your well, stores it in a tank, and uses a high-performance pump to provide consistent water pressure and flow throughout your home. It protects the well by preventing over-pumping and ensures a steady water supply even during periods of low yield.
Who can benefit from a Well Manager® system?
Well Manager® is ideal for homeowners with low-yield wells, families experiencing fluctuating water pressure, or anyone seeking reliable water access for high-demand situations or emergencies.
What sets Well Manager® apart from other water management solutions?
Unlike traditional booster pumps or well systems, Well Manager® protects your well by drawing from a storage tank rather than over-pumping. Its customizable configurations and advanced pressure control systems ensure reliable performance in any household setup.
How does Well Manager® help fix low water pressure in your home?
Well Manager® is designed to solve low well pressure problems by storing and managing water efficiently, ensuring you have steady water pressure even if your well’s natural recovery rate is slow. It works as a low-yield well water storage system, collecting water at a sustainable rate and delivering it at optimal pressure.
Is Well Manager® a good solution for a low-yield well?
Yes, Well Manager® is specifically engineered for low-yield wells, ensuring timely collection and storage of water so that every drop your well produces is utilized efficiently. Instead of overpumping and risking a dry well, it protects your well while delivering consistent water pressure when you need it.
Well Watcher Well Water System Solutions & Questions
What is Well Watcher, and how does it work?
Well Watcher is a simplified version of the Well Manager® system designed for homes with less complex water needs(1 GPM or more). It monitors well activity, collects water at a slow, safe rate, and stores it in a tank to provide steady pressure and flow.
Who can benefit from a Well Watcher system?
Well Watcher is perfect for households, properties with moderate water demands, or those looking for an affordable water management solution that protects the well while maintaining reliable water access.
What sets Well Watcher apart from Well Manager®?
Well Watcher offers a more straightforward system with fewer components, making it an affordable option for homeowners who don’t require the advanced features of Well Manager®. Well Manager® replaces your blue pressure/bladder tank, while the Well Watcher works in conjunction with it.
Can the Well Watcher System boost well water pressure?
Yes, the Well Watcher System acts as a well water pressure booster by optimizing how water is drawn and stored, preventing sudden drops in pressure. It ensures steady, reliable water flow while safeguarding your well from overuse.
How does the Well Watcher System manage water for low-yield wells?
The Well Watcher System continuously monitors well recovery and stores water efficiently, making it ideal for low-yield well owners who struggle with low well pressure or running out of water. Additionally, with an optional Cycle Sensor, users can add pump protection to help prevent well overuse and dry pumping, further safeguarding their well system.
ConstaBoost™ Well & City Water System Solutions & Questions
What is ConstaBoost™, and how does it work?
ConstaBoost™ is a water pressure-boosting system designed to deliver consistent, high-pressure water by drawing from a storage tank. It’s ideal for homes with reliable water sources but inconsistent water pressure.
Who can benefit from a ConstaBoost™ system?
ConstaBoost™ is ideal for homeowners or business owners who experience low water pressure but don’t have issues with water yield. Typically requiring adequate water storage and consistent output pressure to run their homes or businesses efficiently.
What sets ConstaBoost™ apart from traditional pressure boosters?
Unlike traditional pressure boosters that can cause pressure fluctuations, ConstaBoost™ uses a storage tank to provide consistent water pressure, eliminating surges and improving the performance of household appliances.
How does ConstaBoost™ improve low water pressure in a home?
ConstaBoost™ is a whole-house water pressure booster system that draws water from a storage tank, ensuring consistent water pressure whether connected to city water or a well system. By pulling from a dedicated storage tank, it prevents fluctuations in pressure, delivering steady water flow for showers, faucets, and appliances—even during peak demand.
Do I need a booster pump to fix low water pressure in my home?
If your home has low water pressure, a booster pump like ConstaBoost™ can help increase water pressure to all taps and appliances. It ensures steady and reliable water flow, even during peak demand.
Well & City Water System Solutions & Questions
What is the RO Re-Pressurization system, and how does it work?
The RO Re-Pressurization system is designed to boost water pressure in reverse osmosis (RO) systems. It draws stored water from a tank and delivers it at consistent, high pressure, ensuring optimal performance for water filtration systems.
Who can benefit from the RO Re-Pressurization system?
This system is ideal for homeowners using reverse osmosis or water filtration systems who experience low pressure, especially during backwashing cycles or when multiple outlets are in use.
What sets the RO Re-Pressurization system apart?
The RO Re-Pressurization system offers reliable water pressure specifically tailored for filtration needs, ensuring smooth operation and optimal performance of RO systems while integrating seamlessly into existing setups.
How does the RO Re-Pressurization System help with low water pressure from an RO system?
Reverse osmosis systems often cause low water pressure due to the filtration process, but the RO Re-Pressurization System restores pressure by ensuring strong, steady flow from your RO-treated water. Additionally, RO systems require a large volume of water for backwashing, and the RO storage tank provides sufficient stored water to support the system’s backwash cycle, preventing pressure drops and water shortages.

What materials are the tanks made from? Are they safe for drinking water?
All tanks are constructed from Virgin PE Resin that complies with FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.1 and 3.2, ensuring they are safe for storing drinking water.
What are the power requirements for each system?
The power requirements depend on the DAB Pump selected, but all systems are designed to be plug-and-play for ease of installation. More detailed power specifications will vary based on your setup.
Do you offer backup options for power outages?
While the system will not operate during a power outage unless connected to a generator, the stored water in the tank can still be used as emergency water. We recommend placing the system on a dedicated circuit breaker to prevent accidental power loss.
