Booster pumps for the apartment. Everything you need for water supply
Does the washing machine and dishwasher shut off periodically? Are the neighbors from the first floor suffocating from the heat, and on the eighth have to wrap themselves in a shawl? In the garden area, almost no water flows from the hose? All will help out a booster pump for the water supply. By the way, if there were no pumps, people would still use wells - “cranes”, transported water from the nearest river and carried it in buckets.
The booster pump for water is an essential part of industrial circuits and household communications. If the pressure or flow rate of the liquid in the water supply is not enough, use the installation to create parameters on request. Boost pumps for water of various capacities and configurations are designed to work with various water conduits.
Varieties of units for increasing and stabilizing fluid pressure
The line of injection units is presented by functionality:
- circulation models;
- pressure boosting units;
- pumping stations.
Circulating devices are devices built into a closed ring to ensure flow movement. These units are equipped with heating systems that do not provide for the analysis of water.
Pressure plants maintain a stable pressure in the pipeline at a varying flow rate.
Pressure boosting stations perform both work simultaneously. The set uses 2-4 units, one of them is the main one. A domestic installation consists of a battery tank and one unit.
For pumping cold and hot water use pressure boosting systems in different designs. To work on hot water, the model must withstand constantly elevated temperatures, and the engine must be cooled forcibly. The cost of installations for domestic hot water is significantly higher than for cold water.
Criteria for choosing a plant for increasing pressure in the water supply
Have you heard the expression - "station of the second rise"? This means that the water extracted from the source in one way or another should be directed to the consumer with the desired flow rate and pressure. The boost booster pump performs this function.
The pumping device provides a backwater in the fluid line during pumping. Boost pumps for cold water supply at a variable flow rate are switched on periodically, when the analysis of the agent increases, the pressure in the discharge line decreases.
For reliable operation of the line, a primary and backup pumping unit with parallel connection are provided.
Why it is worth giving preference to the pumps "Grundfos"
An example of industrial stations high pressure serve Grundfos Hydro series Multi-E, Multi-S, MPC. The highlight of the devices of a well-known manufacturer is the installation on a single frame of 2-4 units with automation devices. One of the devices works stably, as forcing, with constant parameters. The backup booster pump for the water supply is connected as needed.
The station operates in automatic mode. Equipment with a capacity of up to 30 kW creates a pressure of up to 16 bar and a capacity of up to 1000 m3 / hour. The line has miniature kits with 0.37 kW engines, a flow rate of 1 m3 / h and a column height of 20 meters. The equipment is mounted in a cabinet, equipped with an automatic control function and a memory card.
The advantage of the boosting units of the Multi Grundfos series of any power are the preferences:
- reliability;
- the possibility of remote automatic process control;
- energy efficiency;
- soft start excluding "water hammer".
Circulation plant integrated in the hot water supply
DHW performs the following tasks:
- forced movement of the heating agent in the heating system of the house;
- maintaining pressure in the domestic hot water supply system;
- replenishment of the heating system in case of violation of the water balance.
According to the purpose, the circulating apparatus cannot replace the booster for hot water. If the station is included in industrial heating, both types of pumps are used. Danish booster pumps for hot water are multifunctional, adapted to variable parameters. Grundfos company is a world leader in the development and implementation of water technology in the domestic and industrial segment.
Providing country water consumption
The use of devices to increase the pressure in the country and in a country house ensures the operation of the water supply system and irrigation system. The Dzhileks Jumbo 60/50 P station, a Russian manufacturer, copes well with this task. A pressure of 50 meters is quite suitable for irrigation, and 6-7 thousand rubles for a booster station is an acceptable price.
Assortment of blowers
The catalog of injection pumps for various schemes from renowned manufacturers allows you to select the desired unit.
- Wilo PB - the universal device for hot and cold water supply. The device is single-phase, flow rate up to 4.5 m3 / h, pressure 20 meters, operates in manual and automatic mode. The price is 266-6400 rubles. The best models are the Comfort series.
- DAB is an Italian brand. The devices are reliable and adapted to unstable power supply parameters.
- Termica TL PI is the ideal unit for the home. Network power, pressure 10 meters, pumps liquid up to 60 degrees, costs 3,700 rubles.
- Jemix is \u200b\u200bused in an apartment building on hot water supply, creates a pressure of up to 18 m and pumps an agent with a temperature of up to 1100 C. The device costs 5600 rubles.
These are far from all the models used to increase water pressure in highways and local water conduits.

The booster pump must be present in any water supply system, especially when it comes to cases where the pressure is critically low or there is no centralized water supply. A pump for pumping water pressure allows you to fully use household appliances (washing machines and dishwashers) and, in general, make full use of water on the upper floors of high-rise buildings. However, such a technique is in great demand in the private sector, since good hot water pressure improves the efficiency of the heating system. In this article we will consider all questions regarding the selection and installation of booster pumps.
The problem of low water pressure in the tap is familiar to many residents of high-rise buildings and private houses. This is especially noticeable in winter, when the batteries on the ground floors cannot be touched, and in the apartments upstairs they are barely warm, not to mention the hot water from the tap. And if a washing machine or dishwasher is installed in such an apartment, there are problems with their work - because of the low pressure of the water, they simply do not turn on. There are several ways out of this situation - to look for more convenient housing or to install a booster pump for water. Naturally, the second option is cheaper and more practical, but before you run to the store for the device, you should understand how it works.
The pump pressurizes the water pipe, bringing it closer to a comfortable norm - close to 4 atmospheres. In most cases, in high-rise buildings, this indicator stops at about 1-1.5 atmospheres, so it is not surprising that washer simply refuses to turn on, because for its operation, a pressure of at least 2 atmospheres is necessary. Today, many change bulky bathtubs to compact and multifunctional showers, and then they wonder why they do not meet the declared characteristics - they lack water pressure. However, one should not strive for excessive pressure increase. With an indicator of 7 atmospheres, the pipes may not withstand, especially if the apartment is in a Soviet-built house. It is enough to create the same norm in 4 atmospheres in order to fully enjoy all the benefits of a water supply system.
There are a lot of varieties of household boosting pumps, and it will be difficult for an ignorant person to choose the right option. Models differ in control method, water temperature and cooling method.
Classification by control method:
Booster pumps for water supply should be selected depending on which water you want to pump - cold or hot. There are pumps specifically for cold, hot water or mixed type (universal). You can not use the apparatus to increase the pressure of cold water for "hot" pipes, otherwise it will quickly fail, because its parts and coatings are not designed for such operation. Universal devices are convenient in that they can be used for any pipes, but the price of a booster pump of this type will be higher than a narrow-profile one.
Even if the pump pumps cold water, it can overheat, so each device has its own cooling system. Some models are cooled by the water flowing through them, but in this case there is a risk of overheating in the absence of water in the system. There is another option - dry rotor cooling. Such pumps have a shaft with blades, the rotation of which blows around the motor and cools it. The first models "on the water" work almost silently, but require constant monitoring, while the second emit a strong hum, but are more productive.
Good to know: To reduce the noise level of models with a “dry rotor”, this same rotor is placed in the pumped water, turning the device into a device with a “wet rotor”.
Self-priming pump station
Living in the city is very convenient, but as practice shows, this is not always the case. In many old-built houses, the pressure of water is very weak, and residents of apartments on the upper floors rarely boast a good pressure of tap water or heat-radiating central heating batteries. Many solve this problem by installing a self-priming pump station. The principle of operation of the booster pump is simple: it pumps water into a small tank, from where it is in advance set pressure goes to a shower cabin, a washing machine, a geyser and other water points. To set the desired pressure, you must use a special relay.
Useful advice: There are self-priming stations on sale without batteries, but it’s better to pay a little more and buy a pump with an accumulating tank. The larger the volume of this tank, the longer and more efficient the equipment will last, since it will not be necessary to turn on the transfer pump too often.
When the pump pumps water into the storage tank, the device turns off. But there is water in the tank, therefore, it can be used even if the water supply system is completely empty (the water was turned off due to an accident, for example), which, you see, is very convenient.
Before you purchase a station, find out the maximum possible water pressure that it can dispense. For example, the Grundfos JP Booster 6-24L is designed for a maximum pressure of 48 m, and a large tank of 24 l allows you to comfortably wait out any accident or other unplanned shutdown of water.
How to choose a pump
So, we have already found out that pumps can significantly improve the life of a city dweller, however, what criteria should be followed when choosing?
What questions should be asked to the sales assistant in the store:
- What is the power of the pump - it is clear that the more powerful the device, the better, but you still should not bend the stick, especially if the house has old pipes. First you need to measure the current water pressure in the water supply (buy a manometer), and only then set a higher frame. When determining power, it is also necessary to consider the number of taps and plumbing equipment.
- Whether the pump is very noisy - we have already found out that pumps with “wet” cooling with flowing water work almost silently, and with a “dry rotor” they can cause discomfort to residents.
- Whether the model is suitable for the cross-section of pipes in your apartment - some pumps are designed for a certain cross-section of pipes, so it is not out of place to measure this figure before going shopping. If you install a pump with the wrong cross section, it will experience overloads and the water pressure will not increase.
- To what height should the water be raised - if you choose a pump that is too weak, it simply will not catch up with the water to your floor.
- If the installation will take place in a small room, the size of the pump should be appropriate.
- And lastly, one hundred should pay attention - the reputation of the manufacturer and the availability of a quality certificate.
Manufacturers Overview
Almost all domestic pumps are compact, which makes it possible to place them on a pipe in any apartment or private house without problems. At the same time, most models provide only an insignificant increase in pressure, but usually this is enough for the head to improve the operation of equipment and the movement of hot water in the batteries.
Useful advice: It is best to choose pump models from well-known manufacturers specializing in the production of this particular equipment. That is, if the company produces pumps, mobile phones and pillow covers, it is better to look for something else.
We will consider the products of the most popular manufacturers, presented on the domestic market:
Pump installation
The installation location of booster pumps is very important and determines the efficiency of their work. The flow sensor can be triggered to turn on only if water flows through the pump, therefore, to supply water to the first or second floor, the device should be installed in the basement. At the same time, full-fledged work is possible only in a complex installation with another pump, which will ensure the rise of liquid through the pipes.
The working circuit of the booster pump is easy to understand and will help to install the unit correctly. The discharge device must be mounted on the pipe in front of the water intake points, so that with a low pressure it can turn on and supply water to all consumers. When you start one of them (turn on the washing machine or open the faucet), the water moves, and the flow sensor instantly responds to this movement, including the pump (usually it takes no more than a second). If you live on the 4th-5th floor and install the pump in the basement, then its capacity will not be enough to raise the water to the desired height.
Connection diagram of booster pump:
As you can see, the installation scheme of the booster pump is not so complicated, but to do everything right, you need to have minimal locksmith skills - be able to cut pipes and make threads.
In order for the pump to serve you for many years, follow the following rules during installation:
- In order for the pump to work longer, it is advisable to install at the inlet mechanical filter. In the city, the water is rather dirty, and the pipes are mostly old with perennial deposits on the inner walls, so it would be a shame if a piece of hard plaque accidentally coming off the pipe gets into a new pump and spoils it.
- Install the pump in a dry, heated room. If the temperature drops below zero, the water inside will freeze, and the device will fail.
- Installation of the stopcock must take place to the point of installation of the pump, so that if necessary, carry out preventive work, blocking the access of water.
- Any, even the most silent pump, vibrates during the operation, and this vibration can violate the stability of the device over time - loosen it. So get used to checking the strength of the fasteners from time to time and tightening them if necessary.
A pump forcing water pressure can significantly improve the quality of life in a city apartment or private house. Let it be necessary to invest a little money and spend a little time for this, but in the first winter you will experience dramatic changes - it will become warmer in the rooms, and hot water will flow from the tap immediately, and not after 5 minutes of waiting.
The main purpose of booster pumps is to create optimal pressure in plumbing, heating and sewage systems. IN country houseshaving several floors, and equipped with autonomous systems and modern appliances without units that increase pressure, can not do. Boost pumping equipment is available exclusively with a wet rotor. This arrangement ensures the noiseless operation of the device and increases the period of trouble-free operation.
Even the simplest models of equipment are able to provide a water pressure sufficient for the trouble-free operation of household appliances in the house, as well as the circulation of the coolant in heating systems.
Pumps to increase the pressure of water in the house
- with manual control.
- automatic.
Manual control allows for continuous operation of the device, while shutting down is also done manually. Automatically controlled models have flow sensors that trigger when the tap is opened and turn on the unit. At the moment of blocking the flow, the sensor switches off the unit. In addition, this equipment can be of horizontal and vertical type.
How to choose a boost pump
Having decided to buy a booster pump, pay attention to its advantages:
- the ability to work with environments whose temperature varies from -15 ° C to + 100 ° C. However, in order to extend the life of the device, it is recommended to use it at a temperature not exceeding + 40 ° C. low noise, compact size and light weight;
- low power consumption (for models with automatic control);
- connection directly to the pipeline;
- convenience of service.
When choosing a device, special attention should be paid to such parameters as power, performance, noise level and the maximum possible pressure. Boost pumps are available at an affordable price. Moreover, they can be of a universal type or strictly specialized: water devices, equipment for wells, circulating hot water supply, circulating, drainage and fecal aggregates and stations.
The problem of lack of pressure in an autonomous water supply system is not uncommon. Often this comes from incorrectly selected equipment with a mandatory storage tank at the top point - in this case, water flows by gravity. The system is suitable for a summer residence, however, to meet the needs of a residential building - it is absolutely not rational. Pressure is not enough even for hygiene needs, not to mention the amount of equipment requiring water. In this case, experts recommended a booster pump for the water supply, which increases the pressure in the system.
Types of booster pumps - which one to choose
The device is an assembly designed for tapping into a system to increase existing pressure. The range of the parameter is from 1 to 3 atm. The classification of these products is as follows:
- Type of cooling. Dry and wet rotor. The first unit is characterized by high performance, however, noisy. The second for numerous needs is ineffective, quite acceptable in summer gardening - watering, outdoor shower, bathhouse.
- The method of inclusion. Automation and manual mode. Naturally, the first option is preferable. It is equipped with a flow sensor that monitors the operation of the device. In manual mode, you will have to monitor the heating of the pump. There are also combined models that allow, first of all, to save electricity during short-term starts.
- Installation Horizontal, vertical, in any plane. The one whose position is suitable for the water supply section is selected.
- Speed. Multistage models allow you to smoothly increase the pressure in the network.
- Type of construction. Compact In-lines work on any part of the water supply, but at the same time they are low-power, which will affect productivity. Vortex models are noisy, require special piping, but at the same time provide the proper level of comfortable use of the water supply.
- The material of manufacture. Traditional cast iron and stainless steel. The first is fragile, sensitive to water hammer and temperature changes, if the pump will be used for hot water. The second is not cheap. Impeller material also matters - plastic is suitable for seasonal summer cottage needs, bronze and brass - for residential.
Based on the classification, a choice is made. As a rule, for cottages they acquire compact built-in units with low productivity and one speed. For a residential building requires something significant.
Specifications
Almost always, the specifications given in the instruction manual indicate the maximum value. To determine the real parameters, the values \u200b\u200bare divided into one and a half, two times. Then they make a choice in favor of a particular unit.
In detail:
- Maximum working pressure. Actually, for what the unit is bought. For giving 2 bar is enough. A residential building often requires more than 3 bars, but since the pumping equipment of a residential building is more powerful than a country house, this value is enough.
- Maximum feed. The bigger, the better. Measured in l / min or cube. m / hour. For watering or a summer shower, an acceptable figure of 1.8 cubic meters. m / hour. For the needs of the house, the parameter is carefully calculated.
- Maximum head. Regarding the well, the main work will be done by the downhole equipment, but it remains to bring the resource to the house, and they are often in two floors. Therefore, take into account the total height from the basement.
- Circuit. Pumping equipment requires an uninterrupted source of electricity. If the home network is replete with frequent interruptions, it makes sense to think about purchasing additional equipment that stabilizes the work.
- Flow rate. The parameter indicates the operation of the equipment after the pressure drops to the indicated value. Smaller values \u200b\u200bwill indicate a better model - the pump will begin to make up for the loss with minimal drawdown.
- Maximum and rated power. The value of the parameter is understandable - the higher the indicators, the better the pressure will be provided by the booster pump.
- Water temperature. The range from 2 to 100 C characterizes the model as universal, suitable for a residential building. Cold water supply is often required in seasonal dachas - an outdoor shower is provided by an electric water heater or collector.
- Inlet and outlet diameters. It is important to know in advance the connection area of \u200b\u200bthe unit, then choosing identical values \u200b\u200bwill be easier. Otherwise, flanges are used during installation.
The booster pump, which is most suitable for its object and source of water with its technical characteristics, is considered reliable. For the choice, the model and the manufacturer matter. Let's see what they offer:
Top 5 boosting pumps for home and garden
The Russian market is able to provide consumers with a wide selection pumping equipment. Among the models there are budget and designed for high requirements. The following have gained popularity:
Booster pump Termica TL PI (Aquatic)
The cost is 3,700 rubles, which is easy for owners of a summer residence. The model is powered by a 220V home network. The maximum pressure of 10 m, the temperature of the medium can increase to 60 C. Consumption of 1.5 cubic meters. m / h allows you to provide all cottage needs.
Jemix Booster Pump
In addition to giving it is used for an apartment network. This is especially important for owners whose meters are located above the fourth floor. Standard food, but an uninterrupted power is required - if we are talking about an apartment. maximum temperature - 110 C, pressure 18 m. Price - 5600 rubles.
Grundfos Booster Pump
Leaders in pumping equipment. The price of 13 thousand rubles is most likely due to the brand, since some characteristics are inferior to inexpensive analogues - a pressure of 9 m, a flow rate of 1.8 cubic meters. m / hour. The model uses cast iron and stainless steel, which makes the pump durable. A substantial warranty is 2 years.
Booster Pump E.SYBOX
Italian manufacturer of pumping equipment for private residential buildings, cottages, production. Naturally, the characteristics are high: productivity - up to 5 cubic meters. m / h, head - 50 m. Lower carrier temperature - 40 C. The average cost is from 35 thousand rubles.
The pump for own needs is carefully selected. Overpay for functions that turn out to be unclaimed in the country - it makes no sense. For a house or apartment, on the contrary, a more powerful unit is required, otherwise what is the point in a working pump if it is not able to squeeze the required amount of water "uphill"?
Where to install the booster pump in the water supply system
To begin with, the installation scheme is thought out depending on the number of equipment and points of drawdown. As a rule, the pump is installed in front of household appliances or a boiler. For trouble-free use of water in the bathrooms, the installation location will be behind the storage tank. The pump does not do without a bypass - a bypass line. The unit serves to increase the existing pressure, and does not replace a completely circulating pump.
Connection is easy:
- At the insertion point, a water pipe is dismantled.
- The booster pump is installed using flange or coupling connections, of course, using a seal - rubber rings, tape-fum and other things.
- A bypass with a ball valve is welded on the same line.
Booster pumps for water are an integral part of water supply systems. Such installations are necessary for buildings with no centralized water supply, or when the level of water pressure in the water supply is insufficient for the normal operation of household appliances.
Booster pumps are often used for individual or central heating systems. Increased pressure of hot water improves the quality of heating systems.
1 Device and scope
Booster pump for water supply - a robust monoblock design, the main elements of which are a pump and an engine. For the manufacture of parts of the flowing part and the working case, constantly in contact with water, durable anti-corrosion materials are used - cast iron, brass or stainless steel.
The housing of the working part is open on one side only. A front suction bell is located above the pump shaft. The feed bell is placed over the shaft.
Models with a hydraulic accumulator or a membrane tank are more productive for water supply with a constant lack of the necessary pressure. The membrane tank accumulates a supply of water, depending on the volume. When cranes or household appliances, such as boilers, washing machines, and dishwashers, are turned on, this supply is used first.
Thus, the local highway is provided with the necessary starting amount of water. As it is used, the pump fills the tank.
Boost pumps and pumping stations are used:
- for raising pressure and transporting water in a house or industrial building;
- in main pipelines, at waterworks;
- to increase the pressure in the production plant;
- for transporting fluid to a fire or cooling system.
1.1 Types of booster pumps
Depending on the control method, pumps to increase water pressure are:
- automatic
- tame.
Pump operation with manual control controlled by the operator. Turning on and off is forced.
Aggregates with automatic control equipped with water flow sensors. They work when the crane is opened and ensure the installation is turned on. After closing the tap and stopping the flow, the sensor turns off the pump.
Depending on the technical specifications and working conditions, distinguish these types of pumps:
- surface centrifugal;
- jet centrifugal;
- vortex.
Principle of operation superficially centrifugal pumps such: a working impeller is installed on the driving rotating shaft, in front of it there is a suction pipe, which is located at the bottom of the pump casing. The impeller's task is to create a radial movement of water from the center to the periphery. Hydraulic losses are minimal.
Inside the impeller there are radial blades, which, when the water moves, convert mechanical energy to pressure and flow acceleration. After exiting the impeller, water is directed into a spiral, with the help of which it enters the conical diffuser. There kinetic energy is converted into energy of pressure.
Centrifugal Jet Pumps - A type of centrifugal pump. An ejector is installed inside the casing, which provides a self-priming effect. Part of the fluid pumped by the pump enters the discharge pipe. The part that remains is recycled with an ejector that attaches to the suction chamber. Recirculation creates a vacuum inside the suction chamber, which contributes to the self-absorption of water.
There are such types of pumps in which the suction chamber with the ejector is carried out in a separate unit and connected to the pump by two pipes. The block can be lowered into the well.
Vortex pumps have radial blades on the periphery of the impeller. They transfer mechanical energy to the pumped water. Thanks to the device of the blades, they provide a radial recirculation of water that enters the pump. Blades and double channels are located on both sides of the impeller. Between them, water is recycled.
Numerous blades promote energy transfer, this leads to a gradual increase in water pressure. As a result of this work, the flow at the outlet is uniform, with high pressure.
1.2 Features and Benefits
To reduce the noise level, most household boosters have a rotating rotor located directly in the pumped liquid. Such designs are called wet rotor models.
All elevators are small in size, so they are easily placed on the pipe. Easy to operate in private homes and apartments.
Despite the fact that the pumps slightly increase the pressure in heating and water supply systems, even such a minimal increase in pressure improves the circulation of the coolant in the batteries and ensures the normal operation of boilers, washing machines and dishwashers.
The liquid with which the enhancers work can have a temperature in the range of 10-100 degrees. The air temperature should be below 40 degrees.
Pumps for increasing water pressure have several advantages:
1.3 Efficiency
The reason for the weak water pressure is not only clogging of the filters and overgrowing of pipes. Often a weak head is the result of a large intake of water at a certain time. If apartment buildings quite easily cope with a similar problem, then for private construction autonomous water supply systems are simply irreplaceable.
The device of the pumping unit, in the complex of which the drive is included, eliminates the problems of general water intake. Systems using surface and submersible pumps have many advantages.
During the installation of such equipment on the highway, often with excellent performance indicators there is no work efficiency.
This happens because when the booster is installed, the water pressure does not increase, since water is drawn from different points. As a result, the amount of water that enters the pump will constantly decrease. Especially if the neighbors below also installed a pump to raise water. As a result of lack of water, the pump starts to work as much as possible. This leads to premature wear of parts and reduce the life of the product.
To achieve work efficiency and increase pressure, it is recommended to install storage tanks in parallel.
2 How to choose the right pump to increase the water pressure?
When buying equipment to select the optimal model, you need to pay attention to its capabilities.
The main selection criteria:
- operating temperature;
- power;
- noise during operation;
- way to connect to the water supply;
- pressure;
- bandwidth.
In order to maximize the operation of the unit, it is necessary to avoid its operation at maximum permissible temperatures.
If you need to slightly increase the pressure of water at a short distance, you do not need to buy a very powerful mechanism. A high power engine consumes more electricity. It is more profitable to purchase a less powerful model that can easily cope with such a task.
The way to connect to the water supply plays an important role, because basically the supercharger is connected covertly so as not to spoil the interior.
For a small room, a noise level indicator is very important. When installing equipment in a basement or other enclosed area, noise during operation does not play a special role.
One of the most important selection criteria is maximum head. Power is not always an indicator of high pressure. There are models with low energy consumption that can create high pressure.
A direct indicator of the filling speed of the required capacity is the throughput. Measured in cubic meters per hour.
3 Installing booster pump
For the effective operation of the unit, you need to connect it correctly. When installed on a common line in a pipeline, the pressure will increase on all branches of the pipeline at home. Since the area of \u200b\u200bthe pipes is large, the pressure created by the supercharger in the separated sections of the pipeline will be less.
As a result of this, the pump runs at full power, and the efficiency of such work remains negligible. Especially if water is taken from several points at once. Installing a unit with more power will not be profitable in terms of power consumption and noise during operation.
A suitable and low-cost installation option is to install on the pipeline in front of the consumer. For whom the constant support of the necessary pressure is important. With this installation, the pressure on the other lines will not change.
Sometimes it’s better to install several units at once with a small capacity on the necessary sections of the pipeline than installing one powerful unit on the entire pipeline.
In each individual case, the length of the pipes, their cross-section, and the pressure level are measured. This allows you to determine the maximum parameters.
Installation of equipment is not difficult:
- First make sure that there is a power outlet at the location chosen for installation.
- Further on the places of the cut marking is done.
- The water supply is shut off and its residues are drained from the pipeline.
- The pipe is cut and an external thread is installed.
- Adapters are screwed.
- Fittings are screwed.
- Using a three-core cable, the unit is connected to the shield. In this case, an individual machine is installed.
- The joints are checked for leaks.
After that, a test test is carried out. The first start of the pump is carried out only after the water circulation resumes. If the verification is done by specialists, an act of verification of booster pumps is drawn up.
Thus, this equipment can eliminate low water pressure. But for its maximum efficiency, you should choose the right model and take into account all its characteristics during installation. To control the technical condition of the unit, it is also very important to install in an easily accessible place.
