Question:
One of the households in our building installed a booster pump inside their bathroom due to low water pressure. The pump is extremely noisy,its rattling sound can be heard in the stairwell, and low-frequency vibrations also travel through the concrete structure. The noise has been repeatedly reported by other residents and has significantly affected the overall living quality in the community.
After checking online forums, it seems that booster pumps are usually installed on rooftops in most buildings. In that case, where is the most appropriate place to install a pump? Are there any quieter models available that can reduce noise issues?
Ans:
1.Booster pumps are generally installed as close as possible to the water source, the most appropriate installation point is usually at the outlet of the rooftop water tank.
However, as every building is designed differently, it is recommended to consult a qualified plumbing and electrical technician for a professional assessment and suitable installation advice.
2.Choosing the right booster pump can contribute to our quality of life. As people are paying more and more attention to it, the designs of booster pumps have been improving. Perhaps you can advise your neighbor to choose a booster pump from Walrus Pump’s WQ_B, HQ_B or TQ_B series to solve the noise problem.
