The main not enough pressure to push up to the top floor tank? No water at all if no pump? Or slow water flow?

house on higher ground level, water pressure is freaking weak.
water does still flow to top tank without pump, but it's like dripping/leaking slowly into it, can't live with this.

the 1st pump + tank are provided free by the developer, as they realized some of the house owners will face this issue, i'm 1 of those.

so, i do need water pump/pressure system.
this design is by developer.
thinking maybe should this be redesign to just using 1 tank at ground level, and 1 pump to serve outlet pressure. so can do without the pump and tank at upper flow.

but for immediate issue and need, i need to replace the pump at ground level.

If you can have more water tank on top floor, you don't need the pump. More water tank can create a buffer for your need. Just let the water slowly flow to the tank.

That can reduce your maintenance and cost of a pump.

Get the 1 with bladder tank. It help reduce the cycle on/off. The constant keep on/off will reduce the lifespan.

And filter the water before go into the pump. Dirt in water will jam the mechanical imperial.

i am using CM3-5PM1. When switch on the water tap, a weak water pressure come out for 1sec before pump kick-in. It seems like water pipe is not holding a constant pressure. I am using it for 1year, no water leaking and pump is working good. During idling, the pump is just in standby mode, never encounter any crazy symptom on the pump itself.  Does it look normal for those who also using a same model with me ?

You need a bladder tank.
