If you want to avoid water shortages and increase water pressure in your showerheads, sprinklers, and faucets, installing a CT Water Booster Pump is an excellent way to meet your needs. However, many people face issues during installation, which can reduce the pump’s life span. To help avoid some of the most common mistakes, Callaghan Pump explains how to successfully install CT Variable Booster Pumps. We’ll make sure your home/business has the most reliable water booster pump so that you enjoy adequate water pressure 24/7. So let’s begin!
Each water booster pump has a different design, size, and power. Therefore, the installation could be different depending on these factors. Make sure the water booster pump is suitable for your building and is installed in the right location. For that, you need to determine the positive or negative head, which is the gap between the bottom of the water storage tank and the highest point in the pipework.
Fitting the anti-vibration feet to the water booster pump to minimize the generated noise is a great idea. Don’t forget to recheck the full installation for any possible leaks before you use your newly installed water booster pump. Also, it is a good idea to fit the hoses to ensure that the hoses aren’t bent.
Once the water booster pump is installed with precision and care, you need to ensure that you get the best results from it for years to come. Here, investing in professional maintenance services will help you improve your pump’s performance and life. Let’s find out how to take care of your water booster pump after its installation.
First of all, water must be able to flow through the pump without any hassle. There should be no hindrance, such as leaks, plumbing breakdown. Also, it is crucial to check the shower head and hoses that can get blocked, especially when you have hard water in your area. They can get clogged with mold, soap scum, and lime scale, which can restrict the water flow.
Over time, the activation of the water booster pump can delay, which can reduce the performance of the pump. There are several reasons behind this issue, but a couple of checks would help you diagnose and avoid the problem. For instance, check the pump’s inlet filters to see if they are blocked by debris. Make sure there is no reduction in the water flow rate due to blocked inlet filters.
How often should you inspect your water booster pump? That’s an important question, and the answer is as often as possible, especially before and after using the pump. Daily, weekly, and monthly inspections would allow you to have a clear idea about your pump’s working condition. A proper inspection would help you monitor ongoing problems within the system and rectify them before the system fails. In addition to these inspections, you should also have professional inspections from time-to-time, at least on an annual basis.
