What Is a Water Pressure Booster Pump?

A water pressure booster pump is a device that assists in increasing the flow where there’s low water pressure. It provides an extra boost that could be needed to bring your water pressure to a more ideal level. A water booster pump could provide pressure to move water from a storage tank or throughout a whole house. This eliminates the possibility of current or future problems with your home’s pressure booster system.

What Are Water Pressure Booster Systems?

A water pressure booster system is a great way to combat the issue of low water pressure. A decrease in the flow of water is followed by an increase in pressure requirement. Regardless of the flow of water from the city supply, one or more pumps installed as a pressure booster system could result in a significant surge of water pressure in your household. These pumps come with a check valve, which is a pressure or flow sensing device. Other core components of a pressure booster pump are a motor, inlet, outlet, and impellers.

Latest pressure booster systems include variable speed pumps, which equip you with further control over pressure fluctuations. Even if one pump fails, the system still works efficiently to provide better water pressure.

Challenges Surrounding Low Water Pressure

The challenges that come with neglecting low water pressure faucets, showers, and toilets are a common dilemma for everyone, as well as the residents of the greater Chicago region. While there are certain ways to increase the water pressure, such as an elevated water tank for example, installing a water pressure booster is the most efficient and guaranteed way of achieving your desired water pressure.

Water pressure booster pumps use compressed air to increase the flow of incoming water from the city supply and give a boost to the outflow of water into your household.

Why You’re Experiencing Low Water Pressure

You may experience low water pressure for several different reasons including gravity, as it drives or slows the water flow. The further you are from the source, the more difficult it becomes for the water to get to you and reach the ideal pressure. Your local water supply line, current water system, or existing plumbing issues can also bring down your water pressure.

The Process of Installing a Water Booster Pump

CJ Plumbing & Heating offers a comprehensive and flawless installation of water pressure booster systems in the greater Chicago area.

Our expert certified plumbers will begin by determining the source of the problem. We ensure that the installation follows local plumbing laws, allowing us to carry out the cuts to the main supply to install the water pressure booster pump. We’ll then use emery paper to clean off the pipe where the pump is to be installed, resulting in a perfect grip. At the end of the process, we install the pump with the outlet reconnecting to the main water. The perfect water pressure booster installation by our plumbers is followed by rigorous testing to ensure the quality of our service and complete customer satisfaction.

Our plumbers also possess knowledge about the electrical needs of the pump, such as the GFCI circuit, so you won’t need to call an electrician. This could result in you saving more money in the end.

We had a major pipe leak in our attic. I was able to get CJ Plumbing to get the leaking under control immediately. They did need to return in a week to fix the pipe problem and they did an outstanding job. The owner, Dmitry, was great and worked with my landlord's insurance company to make sure they had everything they needed. He could have said no to this, but he spent numerous hours talking to an unreasonable insurance company and did not get paid for this. It showed he cared about the customer and was not all about the money. Also, Lenny on his team who did the major work was great and kept us up to speed on everything. This is a great company who I highly recommend. Very trustworthy and the pricing was reasonable. Need more businesses like this!

Toilet was leaking in my suite and I wanted to take care of it ASAP before it caused damage downstairs. I reached out to CJ Plumbing and they got back to me within 10 minutes. When the plumber came over, he was masked up and he put shoe covers on, which I really appreciated. He replaced the wax seal and I swear he left my bathroom cleaner then he found it. Everything looked so sparkly. I will definitely use this company again. Thank you!

We had our injector pump fail, which caused sewage to leak all over the finished and unfinished parts of the basement. Dmitry and his crew came super fast, identified the problems quickly, and provided accurate estimates for all repairs before executing the work. They also provided a great recommendation for a rehabilitation and repair company. They were fast, honest, and knowledgeable. They also wore masks and were very good about taking proper COVID-19 precautions, so there was no problem in letting them inside the house for them to do their work. I am a customer for life!

We recently purchased a home, and we've needed to make multiple updates. Everyone was friendly, professional, and did a fantastic job of cleaning up after the work was complete. Most importantly, Dmitry has done an outstanding job of following up with us and answering all of our questions. He took the time to stop by to show us how the new hot water heater worked, and what we'd need to service it in the future. The level of service is absolutely fantastic, and I'll be happy to have CJ Plumbing do our plumbing work in the future!

I called during a holiday weekend assuming they wouldn't get back to me until the following week, but I received a call back within an hour of me leaving a voicemail. From that point on, the whole process was effortless and efficient. Dmitry was super professional and told us exactly what the issue was and what we had to fix. The next day, someone came by and fixed everything up in 1 hour! I was so pleasantly surprised by how quickly everything was complete. I will be recommending these guys to everyone. Extremely reliable service!
