Domestic Water Booster Pump Systems: No More Low Water Pressure!
November 30th, 2022
Are you looking for the best water pressure booster pump to eliminate low-pressure issues in your house? There is an extensive range of domestic pumps available out there, whether you are searching for a pressure-boosting pump for your home or simply for your garden. When you think your house is experiencing low water pressure issues, then these are the signs to look out for:
- Sudden Drop in Water Temperature
One of the most evident signs of inadequate water pressure is the changing water temperature. For example, you may be having a shower when suddenly the water temperature dramatically varies. This issue can vanish with booster pump installation.
- Turning on Multiple Water Outlets is Impossible
Another clear sign of poor water pressure is when you can’t turn on multiple outlets at once. This means it is impossible to shower while watering the plants.
So, if you notice the above-mentioned signs in your house and wonder why there is an inadequate water pressure in your household, then these are some common causes:
- Distance from the Water Source : The longer the distance from a water source, the poorer the water pressure. When a building is located at the end of a water supply pipeline, the water pressure can be inadequate by the time it reaches the building.
- Pipe Sizes and Diameters : Some homes have smaller pipelines that could be a direct cause of poor water pressure. In fact, the combination of small pipes and being situated at the end of the main pipe can be more problematic.
- Gravity : Gravity works both ways when it comes to supplying a steady or slow water flow. The higher the building, the lower the water pressure. This is simply because water can weigh a lot when it travels upwards, especially in high-rise buildings.
- Narrow Hoses : This is a common cause of insufficient pressure in water sprinklers, especially in a garden. Narrow hoses have an inner diameter of less than 13 mm. For a longer distance, the problem may be worse.
- High Pipe Friction : Everything from the length of the pipe to the inner diameter of the hose to the amount of water per hour you need affects pipe friction. For example, a long hose with a small inner diameter will lead to high pipe friction.
- Narrow Fittings : When the passage of couplings is very narrow (around 8 mm), you may notice a drop in the available water pressure. We advise you to replace them with a different type of quick couplings.
- Kinked Suction : If a section hose is kinked, the pump will be unable to draw in a sufficient amount of water. So, make sure the hose is not narrow or kinked.
- Dirty Nozzles : Natural water increases the risk of the pump drawing in dirt particles. If it does, the pump and sprinklers will not work properly and may get clogged. If one of your sprinklers doesn’t perform adequately, check the nozzle for dirt.
