A home booster pump helps increase the pressure and volume of water coming out of a faucet or shower head. If the water pressure is relatively low, it will not be very convenient to use water every day. If you've ever tried to bathe in trickling water and had to spin in circles to get wet, then you know it well. Low water pressure can make simple tasks like bathing or brushing your teeth cumbersome, and a booster pump would be the perfect solution.

How does a booster pump work?
Booster pumps increase water pressure and, in many cases, flow. The booster pump works like a fan. The fan has rotating blades to increase air flow, and the booster pump has an impeller inside it to increase water flow and pressure in the same way.

What are the components of a booster pump?
Most pumps, regardless of manufacturer, contain the same core components:
engine
impeller
entrance and exit
Pressure or Flow Sensing Devices

The ro booster pump has an impeller that moves the water coming in through the inlet and out through the outlet. The motor rotates the impeller. Booster pumps vary based on how they suck in and push out water. Some water booster pumps use rotating propellers, while others use oscillating diaphragms. Pumps with oscillating diaphragms use two oscillating or rotating plates to push the water - one with a cup and one with a notch. As the plates roll together, they compress the cup and squeeze the water out. As the plate opens, more water is drawn in.

So if your low water pressure isn't caused by a leak, or you need to increase water pressure for an application, a booster pump is the best option.
