Booster Pumps
Improve water pressure where and when needed with booster pumps
Operate a water booster pump anywhere the normal system pressure is low and needs to be increased. You'll find booster pumps in a variety of commercial, municipal, industrial and agricultural applications.A water pressure booster pump isn’t just for high-velocity showers. Booster pumps help move water to the top floor of multi-story buildings and travel through sprinkler systems and power washing hoses. Determine your water pressure needs before settling on one of three pressure booster pump strengths.
1. Use a residential strength pump for office use like bathroom needs, especially in multi-story buildings;
2. Order a commercial strength pump to help maintain high-pressure water spray systems;
3. Requisition a booster pump station for larger-scale industrial, agricultural or municipal projects.
Purchase a home water booster pump for basic office needs
If the bathroom toilet takes too long to refill, or you can't use more than one water outlet at a time, get a home water booster pump to enhance water pressure. A domestic booster pump also can power sprinkler systems for lawn care.
Try: Davey Pumps USA manufactures stainless-steel booster pump systems that adapt to fluctuations in inlet flow. Northern Tool + Equipment distributes Wayne booster pumps engineered for a wide variety of applications like lawn sprinkling or deep well pumping.
Obtain a higher-powered sprinkler booster pump for commercial use
If you need to water more than a lawn-size yard at the office, or you operate high-pressure washing systems for a hotel or restaurant, look into a commercial booster pump.
Try: Towle Whitney carries water pressure booster pumps for industrial, municipal and commercial plumbing systems. PumpStoreUSA offers AMT booster pumps designed for high-pressure applications like lawn care and irrigation.
Choose booster pump installation for industrial-level needs
You need a booster pump system for unique needs, like watering stadiums or crops, or for municipal-level pressure booster pumps, such as de-watering small reservoirs or mines. Collaborate with a systems manufacturer to obtain precisely the level of booster pump system you need, as this level of installation is a more long-term investment.
Try: Sometimes you have to take the booster pump out to where the water’s needed. Use Water Reel traveling sprinkler systems, booster pumps attached to a reel of hose on a cart for irrigation or dust control. Request a bid from Engineered Fluid for municipal-level booster pump stations. They've manufactured turn-key water distribution systems since 1964.
- Consult a plumber you trust to determine the right booster pump for your needs. The plumber can analyze your current water system to tell you your current boost pressure, measured in PSI, and flow rate, measured in gallons per minute. Give those numbers to the manufacturer to prevent buying too much or too little pump.
