We have a pump attached to a small pressure vessel which feeds the house.
If the mains pressure is healthy the pump does not operate, but if
pressure falls below a set level the pump starts and boosts the pressure.
Turn the taps off and the pump pressurises the vessel again and then cuts
off.

The pump has a max load of 500W, promises 40L/mimute at 15M head, and is
self priming to 8M lift.

I'm sure I heard it called a 'hydroflor' but in this case google's not
your friend. It came from a French DIY shed, Mr Bricolage.

You are not permitted to pump the incoming main directly. Where a pressure
increase is required you have to use a header tank supplied by the mains and
pump the output of that to feed the house, letting it recover slowly in
between.
