WHICH PRESSURE PUMP IS RIGHT FOR ME?

There isn’t a ‘one fits all’ answer to this question, but we’re bound to have a pump that is your ‘perfect fit’. When selecting a pump, there are a few key things you’ll need to know.

1. Your water source

Above pump level
Below pump level
Mains water

2. Your application

The location of your pump in relation to your water source
How many taps might you need on at one time
How far do you need to pump water from your water source - both in vertical and horizontal distance

3. Your personal preferences and unique challenges

Pump control options and protections
Pump price point

There are also a number of pressure pumps available with various features depending on your application and needs.

Multistage Domestic Pressure Pumps - Considered the most popular pressure pump for domestic home application. Multistage pumps provide great pressure, are efficient and quiet for daily use. Typically designed for medium-larger homes.

Jet Booster Pressure Pumps - Jet or booster pumps have a self priming feature which makes them ideal for difficult suction applications; sucking from a dam or creek, underground rainwater tank, uphill with steep gradient. They are less efficient than multistage pumps and noticeably louder for daily use.

Variable Speed Pressure Pumps - These pumps are considered the best for domestic applications due to their unique technology. As you turn taps on and off, the motor speed adjusts accordingly giving you constant pressure. The pump controller adjusts the motor speed and maintains constant outlet pressure, even with fluctuating demand. Variable frequency drives are used for adjusting flow or pressure to the actual demand. They control the frequency of the electrical power supplied to pumps or fans. Significant power savings can be achieved when using a VFD pump.

Choose from our range of domestic pressure boosting pumps from a variety of trusted brands including; Grundfos, Lowara, Bianco, DAB, Pedrollo & More. Whether you are pumping from a rainwater tank or boosting from mains we have the solutions for you. Receive free shipping Australia-wide, fully insured via reliable carriers.
