A booster pump is a mechanical device that increases well water pressure and improves the flow rate. It provides the added boost needed to bring the water pressure to the desired level. Also known as a pressure pump, a booster pump offers a reliable solution to low water pressure issues. A booster pump comprises a motor, impellers, inlet and outlet, and a pressure or flow sensing device. It generates adequate pressure to move water from the well water storage tank to a residential or commercial building.
A booster pump functions similarly to a fan. It takes water from a source to move through an impeller powered by a motor. The impeller boosts water pressure and flows like a fan rotates its blades to increase airflow. A booster pump is combined with an existing pump to ensure the home or business receives adequate water pressure. The type of booster pump needed will depend on water consumption, water supply location, and the desired pressure. There are two types of booster pumps: single-stage pumps and multistage pumps.
Benefits of Water Booster Pumps
If a residential or commercial property owner is experiencing inadequate water flow, there are significant benefits to installing a water booster pump, including:
A booster pump combined with a well pump ensures a steady water flow at adequate pressure from taps, showers, and hoses. A reliable water supply ensures the plumbing fixtures and sprinklers function properly, reducing the inconvenience associated with low pressure and sporadic water flow.
Booster pumps are easy to install and do not require any additional equipment or significant modifications. Their modest size makes them easier to transport to improve the water supply wherever needed.
Booster pumps offer high efficiency. They reduce energy consumption by reducing the time required to fill water tanks.
Booster pumps can prolong the life of existing pipes by preventing them from overworking and wearing out faster to meet the water demand of multiple fixtures.
A booster pump is made from high-quality materials and has fewer moving parts. It can last up to 20 years with minimal maintenance. Routine inspections and periodic maintenance will keep the booster pump functioning as it should.
Common Problems with Water Booster Pumps
Booster pumps effectively solve water pressure problems, especially in large buildings. However, it is not uncommon for water booster pumps to run into issues. The common problems that well owners can encounter with a water booster pump include the following:
The booster pump fails to start. A booster pump may fail to start due to a malfunctioning motor, water in the break tank, tripped out pump, lack of power, pressure sensor or switch failure, or control panel issues.
Issues with the water pressure are relatively common with booster pumps. A leak, valve failure, high water demand, loose wiring, faulty sensors, and an aging pump can result in a drop in water pressure.
Booster pump leaks are inconvenient and can become more severe if not fixed. High water pressure, broken valves, and cracked seals can cause the booster pump to leak.
High running noise or vibrations is another common issue with water booster pumps. Poor pipe installation, bearing failure, and old or worn-out components are the possible culprit behind a noisy pump.
Inadequate cleaning and poor maintenance can cause contamination within the booster pump system. This problem is more severe because it compromises the health and safety of the people using the well water.
Booster pump issues are disruptive but easily preventable through regular service and maintenance. Contact a booster pump repair technician to schedule a service. A professional can diagnose the pump system properly to restore their client’s water source.
