Booster Pump Installation Tips for Maximum Performance and Lifespan

If you’re considering installing a booster pump, such as Lixing – or another brand on the market that you know, the following tips will come in handy to ensure it runs well and stays in good condition. Using a booster pump can be of great help in increasing the pressure of your plumbing system’s water. If however, it is not properly installed, you might not benefit from its best performance either, as well as breaking down early

Correctly placing the booster pump is essential for efficiency and lifespan

It is extremely important to set your Lixing water pressure booster pump up in the correct position. Position it so that it can freely draw in water. If it is too far from, or raised significantly above, the source of water from which it is drawing, the pump may have to work too hard, and that can cause it wear down more rapidly. And be sure it is in a location you can readily access for maintenance or repair. You don’t really want to shove it in someplace where it’s not easy to work on

The booster pump capacity should be selected to suit the system demand for optimum performance

It is important that you select the correct size home booster pump. If it’s too big, it will use more energy than necessary, and your space and wallet will suffer. If it is too small, it will not be able to support the level of pressure you require. To choose the perfect size, consider how much water you will use and what pressure you need. A good thumb of rule would be to find the flow rate and pressure boost specs that Lixing offers, and scale them to what your system needs

If you maintain and check the booster pump often, this is a good way to add to it’s life and prevent hiccups

A properly maintained booster pump is crucial to your operation. You’ll want to monitor it consistently to ensure everything looks and functions properly. Check for signs of damage, such as leaks or unusual sounds. Should you see anything odd, don’t hesitate to “correct it now.” What’s more, every once in a while, you’ll have to replace parts like seals or filters to ensure the pump continues to run as it should

Looking for leaks and repairing them in a timely manner can help you avoid damage and wasted energy in your system

The leaks can be a significant source of trouble for booster pumps. They can make the pump inefficient and lose pressure. If you do notice any water leaking from the pump or the pipes near it, it’s critical to get it resolved quickly. This will make your pressure booster pump more efficient and last longer
