Booster pump to increase mains pressure
Hi,
I have pretty low mains water pressure (just over 1 bar) and a fairly low flow rate to the taps. Thames Water won't do anything because they say it is within acceptable limits. I've just been looking at these things: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product...5&g=122&r=2158 It would be an easy job to put one into the incoming main in the cellar, but would it make any worthwhile difference. Rate of flow is more important to me than pressure, especially when more than one tap is open. I've never quite got my head around the difference between rate of flow and pressure, but I don't see how one of these things could actually suck more water out of the incoming supply in order to increase the rate of flow. |
