I. Where is the best place to install the booster pump?
The booster pump installed in the tap water in our family is to meet the requirements of the tap water pressure in our corresponding area. Therefore, the location selection of the tap water booster pump is also very important. Regarding where the tap water booster pump should be installed, I have two opinions: one is the location of the main pipeline we enter the house, and the other is the front side of the water facility. Because these two different positions correspond to different situations. Below are the answers to these two situations.
Position (1): Install a booster pump on the main pipeline of tap water
The so-called booster pump installed on the main pipeline of tap water is mainly aimed at our homes The tap water has a main pipe indoors. Then all the water in the room is separated from this main pipe. Then it is definitely the most appropriate to install the booster pump on the main pipeline at this time. However, due to the wide range of supercharging, the increase effect may not be particularly obvious. The installation position of the booster pump for pressurizing all indoor facilities, the selection of the installation position is as follows.
1. Install a booster pump in the main pipeline of the kitchen
The so-called main pipeline of the kitchen refers to the tap water in our home, although a main pipe enters the room, But branching is done from below the ground. A branch pipe enters the kitchen after the branch, so if we install a booster pump, we can install it in the kitchen. This is to meet the needs of kitchen pressurization.
Installation location: The common location where we install the booster pump in the kitchen is generally the lower part of the kitchen sink. In this way, the booster pump is installed to meet the pressurization of all water in the kitchen to meet our use.
2. A booster pump is installed in the main pipeline of the bathroom
For the main pipeline of the bathroom, it is for one of our indoor supervisors to enter the house, and then do Another case of branching. That is to say, after the main entrance pipe is indoors, a branch pipe is made from the ground to the kitchen, and then a branch pipe is made for the bathroom. Therefore, at this time, the booster pump in the bathroom is to meet the demand for pressurization of water in the bathroom.
Installation location: We should choose the main pipeline of all water in the toilet for pressurization. Because the bathroom is generally reserved for a main pipe, and then make a branch. The branch pipes are connected to the washbasin, shower room, washing machine and so on. Therefore, it must be installed on the main pipeline to meet the increased demand.
Position (2): Install booster pump in front of water facilities
The so-called booster pump installed in front of water facilities is mainly aimed at our household water use The equipment is relatively large and has special requirements for water pressure. And usually when we use tap water, the water pressure has little effect. There are two common situations.
Situation ①: A booster pump is installed before the gas water heater. Because everyone knows that the gas water heater will not ignite if the water pressure is not enough. Therefore, for the installation of gas water heaters, it is necessary to ensure that the water pressure is qualified. Then at this time, we can install a booster pump at the water inlet of the gas water heater to meet the use of gas.
Situation ②: A booster pump is installed in front of the instantaneous electric water heater. The so-called instant electric water heater is that the water is directly heated after passing through the water heater. If the water pressure is not enough, the amount of water entering the instantaneous electric water heater will be too small to produce the hot water we need. At this time, a booster pump can also be installed in front of the instantaneous electric water heater.
What are the pros and cons of installing booster pumps in different locations?
We install booster pumps in different locations, and the effects are actually very different. In addition, the operation of the booster pump is also very different. details as follows.
1. The booster pump installed on the main pipeline will continue to run. That is, as soon as there is water in any part of our home, the booster pump kicks in and pressurizes the pipes. So in terms of use, there is a certain waste.
2. A booster pump is installed in front of the water facility, and the booster pump will only be activated during the water use. For example, when we use a gas water heater, a booster pump is installed in front of the gas water heater, and it will only run at this time. Most of the rest of the time, the booster pump is not running.
Regarding the installation of booster pumps in the home, you must consider the purpose of our booster pump installation. Because the booster pump is installed in different situations, the usage conditions are different. In addition, everyone should pay attention to the fact that for our heating system, it is generally not necessary to install a booster pump, and a circulating pump should be installed. Because under normal circumstances, heating relies on the pressure difference between the supply and return water to circulate, not just increase its pressure, which must be clearly distinguished from the tap water pressurized pump.
Second, how to install the domestic booster pump
1. Before installation, we need to check each part of it in detail. Whether the components of the pump are tightly connected, whether there is looseness, and whether there is foreign matter clogging in the flow channel of the pump body, so as to avoid the situation that cannot be cleaned during the later installation. When installing, we need to ensure that it is installed vertically or horizontally, the direction of water flow needs to be consistent with the direction of the arrow displayed on the pump body, and the booster pump should be installed as close to the water level as possible.
2. If conditions permit, it is recommended that you add one more valve at home, the purpose of which is to facilitate future maintenance. In addition, we also need to install a pressure gauge outside the pump outlet, so that it is convenient for us to check that the pump is used within the rated head and flow range, which can also effectively prolong the service life of the booster pump.
III. Precautions for installation of booster pump
1. During installation, we need to follow the correct installation sequence and relevant installation standards. The installation must be installed horizontally or vertically in the “Installation Mode” display. When the liquid level to be pumped is lower than the upper end face of the impeller of the domestic booster pump or the shaft of the pump, the domestic booster pump should be installed with a check valve, and the outlet end should be connected to a three-way for water diversion. Fill with water and tighten the plug.
2. The connection between the pipelines should be tight, and there should be no looseness, especially the water inlet pipeline should not have air leakage, otherwise the pump head will be reduced or the water will not be pumped. occur. Before water enters the cavity of the domestic booster pump, please do not run continuously for a long time to avoid damage to the seal. In order to ensure the safety of our use, it is recommended that you must use a three-core safety socket with a ground wire.
