What is a Booster Pump?
A booster pump is a device designed to improve the flow of water and its pressure in your plumbing system. With the use of the booster pump, the pressure of incoming cold water from the main supply improves, giving you a steady and powerful flow. These pumps work in sync with the existing plumbing system to improve performance. After all, booster pumps are an essential tool for maintaining a consistent water supply in both domestic and commercial settings.
What is a Mains Water Booster Pump?
A mains water booster pump specifically targets low pressure in the cold-water mains supply. This pump draws water from the mains and boosts its pressure to meet the actual household or commercial needs. Whether you need a cold-water mains booster pump for a home or a commercial mains water booster pump for a large building, call us today on 020 868 22244.

- Cut the Pipe Section: Use a pipe cutter to create space for the pump installation.
- Prepare Connections: Assemble copper pipes and fittings to seamlessly link the pump to the existing plumbing system.
Installing the Booster Pump
- Attach the booster pump and necessary connections.
- Gradually turn the water back on to avoid sudden surges.
- Test the pump by monitoring the pressure to confirm improved water boosting and enhanced flow rates.
