What Are Water Booster Sets?
Are you concerned about low water pressure in your property? From slow trickling showers to low volumes of water coming from taps, low water pressure can create a number of frustrations. Thankfully, there are ways to improve the flow of water in your system, such as the use of water booster sets. But what exactly are water booster sets and how can they benefit your property? Here's what you need to know.
What are Water Booster Sets?
Water booster sets are made up of pumps, which help to increase water pressure in a system at the intake point, as well as throughout the system itself. Although only one pump is usually needed, the second pump acts as a backup should there be any issues with the first pump, as well as to provide an extra boost during times of high water demand. For particularly problematic water pressure, there are booster sets with multiple pumps available.
Buildings That May Require Water Booster Sets
Water booster sets are suitable for all kinds of domestic or business premises that suffer from low water pressure, but they may be particularly needed in properties with several storeys. Properties that have multiple bathrooms, such as guest houses or hotels, may also require water booster sets because they may experience a high demand for water at any one time. Once installed, taps, showers and appliances all have the water pressure they need to run effectively.
Benefits of Water Booster Sets
There are many benefits of using a water booster set in your property. In addition to the increase in water pressure, which means that you no longer have the problem of a low flow rate, the units themselves are easy to install and energy efficient. Once water booster sets are connected to the incoming water supply, there is little to no work involved in using them They are designed to automatically detect when pressure is low and adjust it automatically.
Since a water booster set can have multiple pumps, there are a variety of configuration options to ensure that you can get the ideal set-up for your property. Another significant benefit of water booster sets is that they have a compact design that does not require much room to house. With options for vertical or horizontal mounting, these neatly designed pumps will work well in just about any space.
How Do I Know If I Need a Water Booster Set for My Property?
If you consistently experience low water pressure at your property, you are likely to benefit from a water booster set. It is always a good idea to rule out other possibilities first, such as the condition of your water system, to see if any other factors are contributing to low water flow. If in doubt, it may be wise to enlist the help of a plumbing expert to help you understand where the problem of low water pressure originates. They will be able to check over your systems and conduct tests to see whether a water booster set will benefit you.
What Water Booster Set Should I Choose?
Whether you need a two-pump set-up or multiple pumps, always choose a high-quality brand to ensure that your booster set has the relevant approvals, such as WRAS. Good quality products not only last longer and usually come with guarantees, but they will also give you peace of mind that your water system will work efficiently for years to come.
