How can our booster sets improve your water pressure?

Water pressure determines the flow of water from the tap. Water pressure in your home or business can mean the difference between a gentle trickle and a powerful jet. Low pressure makes running a bath a real chore, showers less energising and can cause your boiler to switch off when you least need it.

Why is my water pressure low?

The demand for boosting water pressure has grown considerably in recent years. Low water pressure can occur due to many factors such as:

• The distance from the water mains
• When demand for water is high - such as mornings or early evenings
• Water mains that are too small
• Reduced pressure from the water mains as a result of leakage, equipment failures or blocked pipes
• During dry spells when people use hose pipes or sprinklers in their gardens

What is a booster set?

The good news is, installing a quality mains booster pump set means you can say goodbye to slow showers and bothersome baths. A booster set is a system that enables you to increase the volume and pressure of water coming into your property. They are designed and built to the highest standard from leading manufacturers, meaning high quality materials are used for efficiency, sustained performance levels and long working life.

How to size a booster set?

There are certain key aspects to take into consideration when sizing a booster pump set, these include:

• What are you looking to boost? - Whole House / Single Tap / Hot & Cold Water
• What type of property is it? - House / Bungalow / Single flat / Multiple flats / Other
• How many floors are in the property?
• How many people live at the property?
• How many outlets are there?  - Total number of toilets, baths, showers
