A booster pump is a device that is used to increase water pressure in a water supply system. This type of pump is typically used in situations where the existing water pressure is too low to meet the demands of the system, such as in multi-story buildings, homes located on hills or elevated areas, or areas with a high demand for water.
A booster pump works by increasing the water pressure and flow rate, allowing the water to travel further and reach higher elevations than it would be able to with low water pressure. It can also help to maintain a consistent water pressure throughout the system, preventing fluctuations and ensuring a steady supply of water.
Booster pumps can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, and can be powered by electricity, diesel, or gasoline. The size and type of booster pump needed will depend on the specific requirements of the system and the desired level of water pressure.
