Hey Mitch and Cynt:

First thing you need to do is find out what your pressure is at now. Home supply stores have good tool for this...attaches to the outside water faucet (or a laundry tub faucet)...looks like the pic. Below. Once you have that you will know how much the booster pump can help you.

Then, there is the davey booster pump. That will work for you. Check out the link below....pump is available online, and at plumbing supply houses. They also sell an adapter kit for hooking into the main water supply.
