Duplex booster pump
systems are designed to lead,
lag, and alternate every 24
hours of run time.
This ensures even wear between
each pump. In the event one pump
cannot maintain the pressure,
the second pump will turn
on to assist.
Operational risks in a
pressure boosting system.
Poor control of the boosting
operation can damage pumps
and cause pipes to leak.
Over time, this can result
in excessive water consumption,
spiralling costs, and even
indoor flooding.
A booster system should
not run continuously,
particularly if there is no
demand for water.
Once the pump has satisfied
the system pressure, a minimum
run timer is actuated, and the pump
will run for a preset time.
On average, pool pumps
last eight to 12 years before
needing replacement.
Over time, it's normal for
pool parts to begin to wear down.
In addition, swimming pool
technology has come a long
way in the last decade.
Pumping systems
often have a lifespan of 15
to 20 years. Some
cost elements will be
incurred at the outset and
others may be incurred at
different times throughout
the lives of the different
solutions being evaluated.
A booster pump is a
device that increases low
water pressure and flow.
It provides the extra boost
needed to bring your water
pressure to the desired level.
A water booster pump provides
pressure to move water from
a storage tank or throughout a
whole house or commercial
facility.
Without elaborating
on specific applications:
A 'pressure' pump generally
operates with the inlet under '
neutral' or negative pressure,
while a 'booster' pump, typically,
operates with 'supercharged' inlet.
That is to say, it increases
positive pressure provided
by another pump or by gravity.
From the perspective
of boosting strength,
booster pumps mainly
solve the problem of lower
water pressure, which is a
type of pump with lower pressure;
and the circulating pump has a
higher pressure than the booster
pump, which can drive the circulation
of the entire heating system.
It's best to install a booster
pump at the main water line
source and always install with
a bypass just in case there are
ever issues with the pump.
That way, water can still get
into the house.
