Abstract:
1. A booster pump assembly adapted to increase the pressure of water flow for use in a pool cleaning system, the booster pump assembly comprising: (a) a front housing defining a substantially circular geometry, the front housing including: (b) a rear housing forming an enclosure with the front housing, the rear housing including a removable drain plug extending substantially laterally downward; (c) a motor positioned rearwardly with respect to the rear housing; wherein the inlet is adapted to allow water to flow into the enclosure formed by the front housing and the rear housing, and the outlet is adapted to allow water to exit the enclosure formed by the front housing and the rear housing; wherein the motor is adapted to drive an internal impeller system positioned within the enclosure formed by the front housing and the rear housing, the impeller system being adapted to increase pressure of the water flowing through the enclosure and exiting through the outlet; and wherein the inlet is coupled to a first conduit system having a flow diameter that is substantially equivalent to the inlet diameter, and the outlet is coupled to a second conduit system having a flow diameter that is substantially equivalent to the outlet diameter.
