One of the most common problems with older plumbing systems is the drop off in pressure when other users in the same house or even street turn on a tap or flush a toilet. If you want to fit a high water usage shower or run the washing machine at the same time as you run a bath there is a solution. Mains pressure water from a booster pump situated in an attic or a cellar.

 

Tanks can be installed which act as a personal reservoir, they fill slowly using whatever pressure is available from the water main. A pump such as the one pictured above is installed on the distribution side of the system and can boost pressure up to 5 bar, providing enough water to run all appliances, run a bath, do the washing and fill the kitchen sink all at the same time without losing performance.

 

SJW Plumbing and Heating can readily install the tanks and pump required to make taking a shower much less of a chore, whilst the rest of the family don’t have to be warned not to use the toilet or run the bath.
