I’m using the sure flow.  Also have the city water connector. 

Or at least I did once.  I’ll have to double check. 

I turn on faucet pump humms and after a count of three  water starts. 
It sounds exactly like the old one and the delay is the same.

My old pump was from Bus Depot and this one from GW.  They seem identical.  I only used GW as I had some Go bucks to cover it. 

Bus Depot was on sale so in the end would have been a better deal except for the credit.

I prefer this sure flow over the delta but both are fine.
Sure flow is  easier to turn off and on and flow control is nice.  It also moves out of the way easily. Delta has the traditional look and is darn cute.
Both are easy to install.


I didn’t know a check valve would restrict flow at all.  That is a consideration.
