Pump to the pressure increase pipe. High pressure water pump for a private home

Main characteristics normal functioning of water in the system - the presence of optimal pressure. However, it is not always possible to maintain good pressure, especially when there are various devices connected to the water supply system. There are several ways to increase water pressure. We will learn about their features and implementation technology further.

Water pressure in the water supply: optimal value and reasons for the decrease

In order to decide on a method for increasing water in the water supply system, you should first find out the reason for the decrease in water pressure. Most often, the reasons for the decrease in water are:

  • presence of leaks or accidents at the place of water transportation;
  • the presence of foreign deposits inside the pipes that prevent normal fluid circulation;
  • the presence of a faulty water filter;
  • problems with shut-off valves.

If there is a centralized water supply in the house, the water pressure quite often decreases due to poor-quality work of the water transporter. For example, in order to save electricity, one or more pumps that improve pressure are turned off. If there is damage to pipes in certain sections of the pipeline, the water pressure also decreases.

Therefore, if you have a sharp decrease in water pressure in the system, first of all, ask your neighbors if they have the same problems. If you are not the only one with low blood pressure, contact your local water supplier directly. The minimum water pressure in a one-story building should be one bar. This information is recorded in legal documentation and must be followed by all utilities.

Install a pressure gauge between the water supply system that approaches the house, with which you can control the water pressure in the system.

If the problem of reducing water in the system affects only you, then you need to check the pumping station for its functionality. Most often, the deep filter, which purifies the water before introducing it to the house, becomes clogged.

In addition, you should inspect the filters that provide fine cleaning; they connect household appliances to the water supply. Problems with these types of filters lead to improper operation of washing machines, boilers, pumps, etc.

If the filters are working properly, go around the house and check the pressure in different areas of the water supply. It is possible that a leak may occur inside the circuit. To determine this area, it is necessary to measure the pressure at different areas water supply and determine the lowest value. Once the leak is repaired, the pressure should increase.

Pump that increases pressure in the water supply: features of selection and installation

TO artificial means increasing the pressure primarily concerns the installation of the pump. Individual pumping equipment is selected for each pressure water supply system, the selection of which takes into account such factors as:

  • duration of the backbone system;
  • diameter of pipes of the water supply system;
  • number of floors in the house;
  • amount of water consumed.

When choosing water pressure pumps, pay attention to their performance and power. These indicators are the main ones when purchasing this equipment. In addition, the pump must be made of high-strength materials that are not prone to corrosion.

There is an option to purchase a booster pump. These models are not recommended for installation in private homes that have additional equipment that consumes water.

The cost of a pump to increase water in the system depends on the throughput of the device. The approximate price of equipment ranges from $40 to $200. Some equipment is equipped with additional automated mechanisms, such as a flow sensor. With its help, it is possible to automatically turn on the equipment when the taps are opened.

Thus, the level of energy consumption in the system is reduced. The cost of the equipment is also determined by the degree of its protection from moisture and additional components that are present in the water. Pay attention to models with a high-quality filtration system. Aluminum, cast iron or stainless steel are used to make the body of the device.

We recommend purchasing equipment from a company store of a particular manufacturer. By purchasing a product directly, you will not only save money, but also receive a free warranty and additional Maintenance device.

Also, when choosing equipment to increase water pressure, pay attention to the difference in models according to the control method:

  • devices with manual operating mode ensure constant operation of the device throughout the entire time; you need to monitor the switching on and off of the device yourself;
  • automatic pumping devices - the flow sensor of such a device regulates the switching on and off of the device, there is also protection against switching on in dry mode, the service life of such a device is longer than that of hand pump, it is also characterized by economical energy consumption, but has a higher cost.

In relation to the type of cooling of the casing part of the pumping equipment, there are two options for pumps:

  • when choosing a pump with cooling using shaft blades, the sounds produced during operation of the equipment are quite quiet, while the efficiency of the mechanism is at a high level;
  • When the pump is cooled with liquid, complete silent operation is ensured.

An important role when choosing a pump should be given to its dimensions. If the room is small in size, then installing a huge device will be inappropriate. Some pumps are used only for hot and cold cold water. Other devices are suitable for any type of water supply.

In general, when choosing equipment, decide on the following characteristics:

  • purpose of purchasing the pump;
  • operating principle of the equipment;
  • characteristics of the equipment, most often indicated in the instructions;
  • device size;
  • purchase amount;
  • availability of additional functions.

The main characteristics are performance and pressure that the pump in the system can create. They determine the type of equipment purchased.

How to increase water pressure in a private home

The water pressure in the water supply system is determined by the number of household appliances using water. For example, if the house has washing machine, sink and bathtub, then a pressure of two atmospheres is quite enough. However, if there is a swimming pool or a luxurious jacuzzi in the house, this value should be doubled.

In addition, the pressure in the system must be such as to supply water to several water supply points at once. When taking a shower and doing laundry, you should not experience any discomfort associated with a decrease in pressure.

If the site has a private water supply, that is, water is supplied from a well or a well, then the pump power should be much higher than when supplying water from a centralized water supply.

The pump's capacity must ensure that water is lifted from the well and supplied to the house. At the same time, the house must provide optimal pressure water in the system. These indicators directly depend on the amount of fluid consumed. The more water used in the house, the higher the pump performance should be.

During the operation of a private water supply system, there are two options for water consumption:

1. The well is distinguished by the presence of flow rate in which there is weak pressure or it is completely absent. At the same time, it is possible to satisfy the water needs of two or three people in a family. As the source quickly empties, the pressure decreases. For these purposes, additional means of modernization are used.

2. The well's flow rate exceeds the level of water consumption for the average family. In the presence of a pump whose performance is constrained by pressure, an excessive increase in pressure occurs up to six atmospheres. Thus, leaks and emergency situations occur.

When choosing pumping equipment for private wells, you must be guided by the well’s flow rate and water consumption. We recommend choosing daily water consumption in the summer as a guide.

Ways to increase water pressure in your home

As methods for increasing pressure in the water supply system, we highlight the installation of two devices:

1. Tapping into the water supply system under pump pressure - this operation is performed at the entrance of the public water supply system to a house or apartment. Installing pumps in front of water collection points significantly increases the pressure in the system. Compact pumps allow you to automatically or manually regulate their operation. However, this method allows you to increase the pressure by a small amount of 1-1.5 atm.

2. To eliminate more serious problems with pressure, as well as to organize a temporary independent water supply, it is recommended to install a pumping station. In this case, a storage tank is installed, in which water is accumulated in advance and supplied into the system using pumping equipment.

A pumping station that has a hydraulic accumulator requires considerable investment, and in addition, a lot of space must be prepared for its location. You will also need to spend money on purchasing a storage tank, the size of which should be ten times the daily water consumption. However, in this case, you get constant ideal pressure and water supply, even with periodic water outages.

Stabilization of water supply pressure in a private house

Among the main methods of increasing pressure in the system are the installation pumping station or pump. The first option is relevant if there is practically no pressure in the system.

The pumping station allows you to significantly increase the pressure in the system. An electric piston motor pumps air out of the water accumulator. Water from a well or water supply system enters the formed vacuum space. Installation of such a station in a multi-storey building allows you to obtain constant high-quality pressure. However, such stations are quite cumbersome and for their installation it is necessary to obtain special documents for permission to carry out work.

If there is a minimum water pressure in the system, it is enough to install a regular pump in the apartment. It is installed on a pipe that goes inside the apartment. Automatic equipment starts working when the water is turned on, while manual models involve constantly turning the pump on and off.

To connect the pump to the system, you will need a soldering iron, which is designed to connect pipes together. On the inlet pipe, the water supply tap to a certain apartment is turned off. Next, the pipe and flow sensor are cut in. Connecting fittings are installed at the ends of the cut pipes, onto which the pump together with the sensor is screwed. Plug in the pump and open the tap.

Another option for increasing pressure is to install a pump directly in front of the water supply device. To do this, first of all you should study technical specifications device, determining the maximum pressure for its operation.

Next, you need to purchase a centrifugal type pump, the performance of which is comparable to the maximum pressure. Please note that centrifugal pumps very similar to pumping equipment installed to circulate the coolant in heating systems. However, their operating principle and performance are different.

In addition to the pump, you should purchase devices in the form ball valve and flexible wiring. Please note that the diameter of the hose must match the thread of the pumping equipment. You will also need fumig tape; it can be used to seal the joints.

You should begin work by turning off the water supply tap to your apartment or house. Next, the installation location of the pump is determined; most often it is fixed to the wall using plastic dowels. In any case, before installing the equipment, read its instructions.

Mark the pump fixation points on the wall and install it. A flow sensor is placed on the pump, which controls the process of turning the device on and off. Next are mounted threaded connections, do not forget to install rubber gaskets. They come complete with equipment. The inlet on the pump is connected to a water pipe.

After assembling the device, check its functionality. Install the pump and turn on the water; if there are any leaks, seal the connections with fume tape. Don't forget to ground the device. Check the operation of the device in automatic mode. Look at the pressure gauge to see what pressure is present in the water supply. The optimal pressure is 2-3 atmospheres.

Boosting pumps water in the water supply system refers to household pumps. They are in great demand nowadays. Often, due to low water pressure, various household appliances may not work, or it is simply difficult to take a shower or run a bath. What can we say about such an important matter as washing dishes?
This device is a real solution to the problem of water pressure in a city apartment or in a private house - it increases the water pressure in the system to the required level and stabilizes it.

The presence of a pump that increases water pressure in the apartment - big advantage, because such household appliances as geyser, dishwasher, washing machine work without failures or breakdowns only if there is stable water pressure.

The purchase and installation of a booster pump for the water supply will ensure stabilization of the water pressure in the system. Over time, old underwater pipelines (connections) lose capacity and no longer provide residential buildings with acceptable water pressure.

This makes it impossible to use several points of consumption at the same time. Installation of the device will ensure the functioning of household water appliances, creating conditions for acceptable living.

Application

A booster pump is used when it is necessary to increase the pressure in an existing water supply connected to central water supply. It creates sufficient pressure in front of the water collection points.

Such devices are also used in industrial purposes in the form of large backup installations working to extinguish situations associated with accidents.

The main parameter of the water supply system is the degree of water pressure in the system. Acceptable pressure in the pipe will allow the entire water supply system to operate. European standards prescribe its value to be 4-4.5 atmospheres. Less pressure will not ensure the operation of the washing machine and dishwasher, shower hydromassage cabin, jacuzzi, geyser.


For stable water pressure, designs operating in two modes are used:

  • manual mode, which involves the operation of a constantly switched on pump;
  • automatic mode, which ensures the operation of the pump using a water flow sensor. Such products are preferable. They are protected in the absence of water mode.

Water pumps are installed in apartments, private houses, country houses, cottages. The main condition for their reliable and proper operation– skillful connection of electrical and water systems according to the attached instructions.

Old apartment buildings require pipe replacement. It would be the best option to increase pressure in apartments. But this process is long, labor-intensive, and therefore unpromising. Some residents solve the problem with water pressure by installing pipes of a smaller diameter, but this measure is expensive and not always effective. Installing a booster pump with a storage tank in the water supply system eliminates the problem.

Available wide choose a wide variety of devices, according to design features water supply in apartments. The industry produces products installed on a hot water riser. Such designs allow you to change the pressure in the pump using adjusting screws.


Some types of devices increase pressure when the hot water tap is opened directly. They are applicable when using household appliances: showers and water heaters.

This material will tell you in detail. and install .

If there is insufficient water pressure in the house, minimal diagnostics are carried out, including checking the serviceability of shut-off valves(faucets, valves), permeability of risers, presence of household contamination of pipes. Having confirmed that there is insufficient pressure in neighboring apartments, it becomes necessary to purchase a pumping station for the entire house.

A pumping station is a type of water booster pump that has a hydraulic tank or accumulator. They are installed between the water supply and the water source, generating pressure in the water supply system. If one is installed in the house, but the water pressure in the apartments is not sufficient, it is replaced with a more powerful one. Sometimes it is enough to replace the accumulator or pump, or adjust the pressure using a pressure switch that monitors the operation of the accumulator and pump.

Principle of operation

The principle of operation of any booster pump for water supply is that the equipment system increases the pressure in water supply network depending on the pressure available in the water circuit.

The advantage of an individual heating system in a private house or apartment is the short distance of passage of the coolant from the heating source to the battery. Forced circulation assumes the presence of a pump that pumps water through heating elements: batteries, registers, pipes.

The pump is installed on the return water supply pipe, first draining the coolant or turning off the existing taps on the pipeline. Correct installation The pump will be indicated by an arrow, the direction of which coincides with the direction of movement of the coolant. After installing the coarse filter and the pump itself, the system is filled with water, removing air by opening the central screw. The unit is connected to the network using a regular electrical plug.

The booster pump is installed strictly in a horizontal position. This will not only contribute to its quiet operation, but will also prevent damage to the rotor.

Pay attention to the installation of the pump terminal box, preventing water or condensation from entering it. It is strictly prohibited to operate the unit in the absence of coolant in the system. The pump, equipped with a thermostat, is installed away from water heaters that can affect the operation of the thermostat.

At large sizes indoor water consumption increases significantly. Installing one pump may not fully provide the required pressure. In such cases, several pieces of equipment are installed.

How to choose a booster pump?

When choosing a product, we evaluate the condition of the plumbing system. The choice of unit of the required power depends on this.


When choosing and purchasing a booster pump, you need to take into account its main characteristics:

  • performance;
  • power;
  • performance;
  • size;
  • guarantee period;
  • price.

The units differ in technical characteristics and method of cooling the engine and housing. Products with “wet” and “dry” rotors are purchased.

The cooling process of devices of the first type is carried out by the liquid itself. They are silent in operation, but are demanding on the quality of pumped water, requiring constant and timely maintenance.

The motor housing of units with a dry rotor is cooled using an impeller. They are practical and reliable, although a little noisy. This type of pump is in great demand when purchasing.

Some booster pumps are made with a fixed pressure rise value, other models may have several operating modes, are made with several sensors, control units, and have the ability to connect to a control panel.

Pressure boosting stations are purchased when there is no water in the taps. The presence of good water pressure from the neighbors below indicates that it is not reaching your riser.

Those wishing to purchase the product fill out a questionnaire and send it in any acceptable way.

You can find out how installation is done by watching the video:

Installing a pump that increases the pressure in the water supply ensures uninterrupted operation of all gas and water appliances and provides the opportunity to use water in bathrooms, Jacuzzis, and showers at any time of the day. The downside is the problem of space in the apartment when installing a hydraulic accumulator. You need to remember this nuance when installing a tank of 200-300 liters.

An indicator of the quality of a water supply system, both centralized and autonomous, is the pressure indicator. To measure it, specialized pressure is used (mainly to adjust the pressure when connecting household appliances - a washing machine or dishwasher, boiler, gas hot water supply or as part of a heating system).

Sometimes the pressure is so weak that everything is clear even without the use of instruments. Increasing the pressure in the system when connecting will help correct the situation.

1 Features of use

Pumps for increasing water pressure in an apartment or private house are a special category of pumping equipment. Cold water and hot water systems consist of a network of pipelines, the free movement of water through which is determined by the pressure level in the system.

According to standards adopted in Europe, this figure should be from 2.5 to 4 atmospheres, depending on the length of the system and the average daily load on it. The intensity of the pressure also affects the amount and type of equipment used. For example, a pressure of 2.5 atmospheres is sufficient for connection. And for connecting a shower, jacuzzi or heating systems - 3.5-4 atmospheres.

The water pressure in the apartment, as a rule, is 3.5-4 atmospheres. But this does not mean that you will have to give up more comfortable living conditions. Effective and inexpensive solution are pressure-increasing pumps for water in apartments. With the development of multi-storey construction, cases have become more frequent when water does not reach the consumer due to the riser being too long and the pumping station used to complete the pipeline is not capable of raising the water to the required level. In this case, an alternative for a pump to the apartment will be.

The same situation applies to suburban and cottage developments. In them, the water supply system is often autonomous, and one pump, even one with increased power, does not always provide the required flow rate. It will not pump water with proper efficiency even if errors were made during the design or installation of the system.

A water pump that increases pressure is also used in industry. These are large-sized backup models that allow you not to stop production processes in the event of an emergency shutdown of the system or a decrease in the water level in the water supply.

2 Device, principle of operation

As a rule, a pressure-increasing water pump, including a household pump for an apartment, turns on automatically when it is fixed critically low level pressure. They differ in type of design and purpose.

2.1 Types and differences

According to key operational and production parameters, water pressure booster pumps are divided into 2 main categories:

  • circulation pumps to increase water pressure in the apartment;
  • self-priming pumping stations.

The most popular due to its universal simple design is considered circulation pump water pressure booster, this type of water pressure booster pump is easy to install and provides optimal performance traffic intensity within the system. It is compact and is intended mainly for adjusting the performance of heating systems and.

The unit consists of a compact motor that drives an equipped rotor. By increasing the rate of water circulation, the pressure in the entire system increases. There are models on the market for both cold water and hot water. Pumps of the first type are cheap due to the use of durable but inexpensive plastic in the production process. They can operate in a temperature environment not exceeding +40 o C.

The second type of pumping equipment - stations - is more complex and productive. The key difference from circulation equipment, which cuts into any part of the network and does not affect its autonomy, is that the pumping station completely cuts off the system from external source recharge. However, it is this installation that allows you to increase the water pressure to the required level.

The design consists of a surface pump powered by a hydraulic accumulator and equipped with a self-priming mechanism. Such a unit is guaranteed to improve the quality of water supply even if, for technical reasons, water is by definition unavailable on the upper floors of the building. The pressure level is regulated and maintained at the level specified by the relay adjustment parameters using a membrane-valve system.

2.2 Main characteristics

When choosing a model, we recommend paying attention to the information provided by the manufacturer, since not all units are universal. In general, to select a pump or pumping station, it is enough to pay attention to the following characteristics:

  • type of BC system – hot or cold;
  • the power of the device, determined by the water intake capacity, the height of the water rise and the maximum value of the pressure increase;
  • pressure and flow;
  • temperature Range;
  • energy consumption parameters;
  • productivity (amount of pumped mass per unit of time);
  • the direction of the axis along which the working bodies move;
  • start type (mechanical or automatic);
  • motor cooling method;
  • generated noise level;
  • material for the production of the body and node connections.

3 Well-known manufacturers

The corresponding market segment is extensive - it presents equipment from both domestic and foreign manufacturers.

The leader is the product, in particular, 15-90/UPA15-90N. The advantages include low weight and size, ease of connection to the pipeline. With a relatively low power, they increase the pressure level by 1.5-2 atmospheres, are made from high-quality durable materials (cast iron and stainless steel, respectively) and create virtually no noise. Both units are equipped with a switch that allows you to adjust the operating parameters using manual or automatic settings.

The German brand Wilo produces pumps equipped with a flow sensor, mainly with a wet type of rotor cooling. Popular models are PB 088-EA, PB-H 089 EA, PB 201-EA and PB 400-EA in cast iron housing. The advantages of this brand's products include:

  • easy installation thanks to fastening with nuts;
  • thermal protection of the motor;
  • low power consumption;
  • compactness;
  • low noise level;
  • corrosion resistance.

Chinese pumps WESTER WPA 15-90/20-120 have proven themselves reliable technology in an affordable segment. They can be used to equip apartments, country houses and cottages. Each of the models operates in one of the three provided modes in the temperature range of +6...+60 o C, has low consumption and raises water to a height of up to 9 m.

4 Connection rules

Installing a pressure booster pump is simple - it can be done without the involvement of specialists. It is most effective to make a cut at the entrance.

Circular pump installation:

  • the product is embedded in a single position according to information from the manufacturer;
  • When starting work, make sure that the water supply system is turned off and there is no water in it;
  • cut the pipe, connect and fix the pump, treat the joints with moisture-resistant and heat-resistant sealant;
  • connect the unit to the power supply;
  • test the installed pump.

Pumping stations also cut into the system, but this process is best left to specialists. The difficulty of installation lies in the fact that in addition to inserting and connecting the pump, it is necessary to correctly assemble it and connect the inlet/outlet hoses. Labor-intensive and demanding practical experience is also the process of setting up a pumping station.

4.1 Installation of a pump in an apartment that increases water pressure GPD 15-9A (video)

Boosting pumps- equipment designed to increase water pressure in the water supply system.

It often happens that the water pressure in apartment buildings, especially on the upper floors, is insufficient. This leads to the fact that home Appliances may refuse to work, or even fail altogether. It is in such situations that a pressure boosting pump may be needed.

The bulk of household appliances require a pressure of at least 1.5-2 atmospheres. Technical standards require ensuring a pressure in urban networks of at least 4 atmospheres. But in reality, due to wear and tear of equipment and lines, pressure can fluctuate greatly in both directions. A strong increase in pressure can destroy the joints of the pipeline connections, and a low one will prevent the washing machine or dishwasher from starting.

Unfortunately, even such pressure-increasing pumps will not always help. Let's consider 2 situations:

  • There is water in the system, but its pressure is not enough. In this case, the pump can correct the situation.
  • The water simply does not reach your floor. In this case, the pump is no longer enough; you need to purchase a self-priming pumping station that can lift water to your floor from a depth of up to 8 meters.

Operating modes of pressure boosting pumps

  • Manual mode, in which the pump operates continuously. The disadvantage is increased wear and overheating of the equipment.
  • Automatic mode is more preferable. In this case, turning the pump on/off is controlled by a flow sensor. We open the tap, the sensor is triggered and starts the boost pump. The pump will last longer since it does not need to run dry.

Our online store offers a wide range of pressure-increasing pumps made by Danish and German companies Grundfos and Wilo. All pumps of these brands, after leaving the assembly line, are tested on special stands that simulate real load. Therefore, you can be sure that for the indicated price you are purchasing real quality.
