Tankless Jet Water Pump ??

Thinking of buying a tankless shallow well jet pump. Anyone use one? Please give me your opinion on the performance.

yes... just bought and installed one 2 months ago for my fathers cabin in the Whiteshell. Total cost about $1000 as we went step above the Cdn Tire brands and added drain valve and piping so it is easy to drain without getting the boathouse wet inside, priming valve/standpipe, pressure gauge, etc.... Making it as easy and foolproof as we can as he is now in his 80's and avoiding a pos or problematic unit was important

120v as no 220 in his boathouse, currently drawing a head of about 5' on a 40' run from lake to pump with a run head of 30' for 200'

Working great. To stop the on/off short cycling we added a pressure tank. Has adjustable hi/low pressure switch and gives them all the water they need up at the cabin.

cant remember the names of them....but you can get more industrial unit for a grand or more that has variable or staged output....thus if one tap is on..only one stage...if 2 taps and a shower...then it goes up to 3 stages...never a lack of water pressure.
