How to Increase City Water Pressure
Water booster pumps are valuable equipment that offer an efficient solution to improving the water pressure.
Getting water at low pressure from the faucets and fixtures at the home or business can cause significant inconvenience. Low water pressure can arise for several reasons. Gravity, water traveling long distances before reaching faucets and showerheads, age and material of the pipes, small pipe size, using too many water fixtures simultaneously, or low city water pressure are some primary reasons for low-pressure water supply.
If the city supplies water at less than 40 psi and there is no quick remediation of the issue, installing a water pressure booster pump is the best way to increase the water pressure. Water booster pumps are valuable equipment that offers an efficient solution to improving the water pressure in a home, apartment complex, multi-story building, or commercial property.
How does a booster pump help increase city water pressure?
In areas where incoming municipal pressure is low, the water booster pump work wonders to ensure a reliable water supply at an adequate pressure. A water pressure booster pump is a compact and powerful electric pump that increases the psi of the water traveling through the pipes to the various faucets and fixtures. It is very beneficial in preventing the water pressure drop while carrying out household work.
A booster pump is a centrifugal pump consisting of a motor, single or multiple impellers, pressure and flow sensors, and an inlet and outlet. The motor runs the pump, the job of the impeller is to increase the water pressure, and the sensors sense the incoming water pressure to adjust it according to the desired level. The sensors prevent the water from traveling at a very high pressure to protect the pipes. Connect the water line to the pump inlet and connect the pipes transferring water to the house to the other line.
Usually, the water pressure booster pump connects to the pressure tank or the main water line. The impeller spins around to increase the water flow to the recommended pressure level. Consider integrating advanced control solutions while installing the pump for more control over the water pressure. Booster pumps are energy-efficient as they run when required. They will keep the water pressure and flow at a constant rate.
Benefits of using a booster pump to increase city water pressure
