Question:
I’m planning to move back into my family home soon, but I’ve noticed the water flow is quite weak, making daily use inconvenient. I’m considering installing a booster pump. However, the house is around 40 years old, and I’m concerned that excessive water pressure might damage or even burst the existing pipes. Is there a suitable booster pump for older homes that provides stable and safe water pressure?
Ans:
- For older houses, or homes with persistent leakage issues that are difficult to resolve, the automatic flow-controlled booster pump can be used. This helps prevent the plumbing system from remaining under constant pressure and reduces frequent pump activation caused by hidden leaks.
- The automatic flow-controlled booster pump is typically installed below the rooftop water tank, providing downward pressure boosting. When a tap is opened, the pump automatically starts to increase water pressure. When water use stops, the pump shuts off automatically.
- Since every building’s plumbing design and condition varies, it is recommended to consult a professional plumber or technician for a proper on-site assessment before installation.
