Water Pressure Booster Pump – A must for domestic, commercial and industrial applications

One of the essentials for a smooth life, and running a smoother industrial operation is water. When it is there, it quietly does its job in the background – watering our plants and farms, bathing, cleaning, industrial processes, and so on. However, one such time when the water pressure drops and does so for a while, it immediately grabs our attention. Halting smooth running of our day to day lives and work, low water pressure becomes a hindrance that must be dealt with. But how do we handle that? By installing a water pressure booster pump. Simply put, a water pressure booster pump increases the pressure of the water coming out of our taps. It applies pressure on the water in the storage tank or reservoir all through the housing complex or industrial facility. Often water pressure booster pumps are interchangeably used with high pressure water pumps. Fundamentally, both are used to boost the pressure of water across the line from source to usage points.

The water pressure booster pumps also come equipped with variable frequency drives that lower power consumption as well as help in improving the product’s life by reducing wear and tear. When integrated with the existing Building Management System (BMS), we can control and monitor the workings of the system and optimize its performance. These pumps are suitable to be used for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes.

Causes of low water pressure

• Water may be traveling a long distance
• There may be too many water fixtures in the complex
• Law of gravity when the building is a high rise and water has to travel vertically
• Plumbing issues with the aging pipes
• The city may overall lie in a low water pressure area

Components of a water pressure booster pump

The main components that a water pressure booster pump comprises of are:

• Motor
• Impellers - Single stage pumps have one impeller while multi-stage pumps comprise of two or more impellers
• Inlet and outlet
• A variable frequency drive

Applications of a water pressure booster pump

• Increasing water pressure in high-rise residential apartments and complexes, because while the lower floors in a building may have great water pressure but as we move up the floors, the water pressure goes down
• Commercial buildings like hotels, hospitals, office complexes
• For consistent flow required during irrigation of farmlands, where there are large fields to be irrigated and low water pressure can hamper the crop
• For water flowing to hilly regions from plains
• For municipal water
• Industrial processes
• Agriculture and allied activities
• Sprinkler system and water fountains
• For pumping out water from wells and reservoirs

Benefits of a water pressure booster pump

• A consistent pressure of water in every water fixture in the same premises
• Hilly areas, homes in a high-rise apartment complex, long distance between water source and consumption points in the same premises, agricultural activities, a water pressure booster pump can benefit a range of industries and residential facilities with varied needs
• Easy to install, maintain
• Energy-efficient, compliant with building management systems
• Optimized performance for all kinds of applications
