- Source of water: Distance from the water source is a big factor in deciding the pressure of water in your place. If your place is at the end of the water supply line, there’s a strong chance that you might be on the lower share of water supply.

- Always make sure that you install your booster pump in a correct manner. While installing make sure that the pump isn’t directly installed directly to copper lines as this would cause some large amount of irritable vibrations.
- Install the booster pump right at the source. A booster pump works as a diversion from your source of water to your place of delivery of water.
- Most of the water pressure booster pumps are either activated by the flow rate or the pressure rate or both of them.
- Always have a bypass in case of emergencies. In case, your booster pump fails to operate, the bypass does the job till the time you troubleshoot the issue.
