Booster pumps are often used to tackle issues with low water pressure or poor flow rate. An effective booster provides water with the extra pressure it needs to find its way from your water storage tank to other areas of the home. If your plumbing system is far from your water source, they’re a must. They’re also handy if you’re experiencing multiple plumbing issues that can’t be resolved or you’re based in an urban area with low-pressure water.
