Product Overview
The Davey BT20-40 is a 1.5 HP stainless steel pressure-booster package with a Torrium2 automatic controller for compatible clean-water systems requiring both useful flow and higher pressure capability. It can be considered for larger household demands, acreage water systems, irrigation zones, and selected light commercial uses when the required operating point falls within the pump's performance range. The controller starts the pump as water demand begins and stops it when the demand ends.
Maximum flow and head values describe the edges of a pump curve and should not be combined as though they occur at the same operating point. Size the BT20-40 using the flow required at the desired outlet pressure after allowing for elevation, suction conditions, pipe friction, valves, fittings, and simultaneous demand. Confirm the water source can supply the pump, the inlet piping will not restrict it, and the 115V single-phase electrical service is appropriate. The Torrium2 system adds pump-protection functions, but proper priming, pipework, electrical installation, and controller setup are still required under the Davey instructions.
