Probably, all homeowners, at least once in their lives, faced the problem of lack of pressure in the water supply pipes. Sometimes it drops when two or more consumption points are turned on. Sometimes there is not enough water to run equipment such as a washing machine or dishwasher. This is especially true for owners of private houses, where water flows perfectly on the first floor, but categorically refuses to rise to the second and higher.
The regulated pressure in public water supply pipes is 4 atmospheres, and at the outlet it is 0.3, but in reality this figure rarely reaches the established norm. A booster, or as it is often called, a booster pump will help solve the problem. The principle of operation is to use centrifugal force, but we will not go into technical details, and let's talk about the types of such pumps. There are two of them:
- automatic, turning on only at the moment of opening the taps;
- and permanent, working without shutdown.
It is easy to guess that the first type is preferable, since it has lower power consumption and a longer service life. But the price is higher, albeit slightly.When choosing a device for increasing the pressure in the system, you should pay attention to the following factors:
- diameter of inlet and outlet holes;
- nominal pressure;
- rated power;
- operating temperature of the pumped liquid.
It is these criteria that affect the cost of the product, as well as the popularity of the brand and the quality of the product itself. Only the best pumps from both imported and Russian manufacturers got into our TOP.
TOP 5 best booster pumps
5 Vodotok X15G-10A
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 2 200 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
There is no limit to perfection and prices, and often we pay just for the brand name. If you do not need it, then here is the option at the best price on the market. The most inexpensive booster pump, which has quite acceptable technical parameters and has received positive feedback from users. Vodotok X15G-10A is an automatic built-in pump with a maximum head of 12 meters and pumping water at a speed of 1.2 cubic meters per hour. Not the highest figure, but quite sufficient even for a small country house.
The operating temperature of the device is 40 degrees, both water and the environment. At the same time, it consumes no more than 90 watts per hour, and this is the best indicator in such models. An excellent thing for the money, but it should be understood that in terms of build quality and durability it is inferior to top models. You should not expect that the pump will work for ten years and will not require repair. Yes, and the noise level is slightly higher, which you also need to know when buying.
4 Wilo PB 201EA
Country: Germany
Average price: 9 400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Pressure boosting pumps are divided into built-in and stationary. The built-in ones are quiet, have a compact size, but do not pump much liquid. If you have a country house or cottage, and you water the garden, then you need to take a stationary type, and the best option is now in front of you. This is real German quality, as often mentioned in reviews. Almost all features are top notch.
15 meters maximum head. 4 cubic meters of pumped water per hour. 80 degrees liquid temperature. And so on. Among the shortcomings, one can single out a relatively high noise level - 55 decibels. Not the worst indicator, but you should not place the pump directly next to the living rooms. In addition, it does not have automatic switching on, and power consumption has been set at over 300 watts per hour. This powerful equipment, designed for stationary installation in country houses, is the best of its kind, although it is relatively expensive.
3 JEMIX W15GR-10A
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 2 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The booster pump can be used not only in water supply systems, but also in heating circuits, when it is necessary to raise heated water to the level of the second floor and above. Not every device can be used for these purposes, since there is a limit on the maximum temperature of the liquid. In this case, it is 110 degrees, that is, above the boiling point. Of course, the water in the pipes will never reach such a level, but you don’t have to worry about the safety of the device at maximum load.
The pump provides an increase in pressure by 10 meters, and pumps 1.2 cubic meters per hour.Pure water is used, as only a coarse filter is installed. But the main advantage is the best indicator of energy consumption. Only 90 watts per hour. True, it should be borne in mind that a permanent pump, however, for heating systems this is the norm.
2 Termica Comfortline TL PI 15
Country: China
Average price: 3 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
In most cases, the increase in pressure in the system using a pump occurs over a short distance, 5-8 meters. That is, the device will raise the liquid to the second floor, but it is unlikely to be higher. If you need to create a working pressure up to 15 meters, you will need a more powerful tool, such as the Termica Comfortline TL PI 15.
The pump works from a household network and consumes only 120 watts of energy per hour. But it should be understood that the device is permanent, that is, it does not turn off if you do not use water at the moment. This can be called a disadvantage, as well as a relatively high noise level. No, you will not hear it in the next room, but compared to top models, the level is slightly higher. But the temperature of the pumped liquid can reach 80 degrees, that is, a pump for hot water. It is allowed to be installed in the heating system to ensure the circulation of fluid on the second floor and above. The throughput is 1.5 cubic meters per hour, and this is quite enough.
1 Grundfos UPA 15-90 N
Country: Denmark (made in China)
Average price: 14 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Before us is the most popular and at the same time the best brand of sanitary equipment.Despite the fact that all products are made in China, they have consistently high quality and, accordingly, the cost. The main advantage here is a long service life and a perfect assembly. If you need a device that will work for many years and does not require repair, then it is in front of you, and it makes sense to overpay.
With the technical characteristics are also all right. Water with such a pump rises to a height of up to 8 meters and the pressure does not drop throughout the system. The volume of the pumped liquid is 1.5 cubic meters per hour. Not the largest indicator, but quite sufficient to provide a large house. Of course, this pump will not be enough for irrigation, but such goals are not set before it. Also, the device has a “wet” cooling system, which protects it from overheating and increases its service life. And the power consumption is only 118 watts per hour, given that this is an automatic booster pump, and it will only work when you turn on the tap or start the equipment that consumes water.
