Experiencing low water pressure in your double-storey home or large property? A booster pump system could be the perfect solution. Here’s why it’s essential for bigger households.
What Is a Booster Pump System?
A booster pump is designed to increase water pressure and flow from your water tank, borehole, or municipal supply. It ensures strong, consistent water flow to multiple outlets at the same time — even across multi-level buildings.
Why Large Homes Need Booster Systems
- Multiple Bathrooms: Homes with 2+ bathrooms often experience pressure drops during simultaneous use.
- Double-Storey Layouts: Upper floors suffer low pressure without adequate pumping support.
- Large Gardens: Sprinkler systems need consistent flow and pressure.
- Borehole or Tank Supply: These need a pressure boost to match household demand.
Without a booster system, it’s common to experience trickling taps or poor shower performance when several outlets run at once.
Benefits of Installing a Booster Pump
- Instant pressure improvement in bathrooms, kitchens, and garden taps
- Prevents pressure drops during peak usage hours
- Automatically starts and stops as needed
- Can integrate with JoJo tanks or borehole water systems
We recommend smart systems like the Grundfos SCALA booster pump for quiet, energy-efficient performance.
How Installation Works
At One Touch Pump & Drilling, we assess your water supply source and pressure requirements, then install a suitable booster pump system. The pump is connected to your existing borehole, tank, or municipal feed and configured to deliver consistent pressure throughout your home.
Is a Booster Pump Right for You?
If you’ve ever had to schedule showers or stagger water usage to avoid pressure issues, you’ll benefit from a booster pump system. They’re particularly important for:
- Homes larger than 250m²
- Properties with upstairs bathrooms or granny flats
- Homes using JoJo tanks or borehole water as the primary source
