Question:
I really enjoy shower time at hotels, the hot water comes instantly, and the shower pressure is amazing. I’d love to recreate that feeling at home so that showering every day feels just as relaxing and enjoyable. Is this related to water pressure? I already have a booster pump installed at home, so why can’t I get the same effect?
Ans:
Yes! It is indeed related to water pressure. Insufficient water pressure at home can be frustrating. You can install a booster pump to increase water pressure in your home. It is important to choose the right product for the right purpose. For example, the two commonly heard pumps–booster pumps and suction pumps–have different functions. When choosing a suction pump or a booster pump, the first thing you must consider is its “head” and “flow”.
A pump’s head is about supplying water pressure to how many floors. Flow, on the other hand, is about supplying water to how many faucets at the same time. Choosing the right product means choosing a product neither below nor above your needs. Purchasing above your needs is not only wasteful; if a pump supplies more pressure than needed, too much pressure in your pipes may cause adverse effects.
