Low water pressure is an issue many homeowners
face. Low water pressure doesnt discriminate
between old or new houses and can be a challenge
to fix. I have good news it can be fixed even
if youre not a plumber. Installing a water
pressure pump can increase pressure and have you
enjoying your shower. Water pressure pumps,
also called water pressure boosters, increase the
pressure of the water coming from your source. A
significant amount of pressure is needed to get
water to all areas of your home. As the water
gets to the tank, compressed air pressurizes and
gives the water the jolt needed to flow
throughout your home.

Now how is expensive is this? When shopping for
the pump there are some key features you need to
be on the lookout for. The tank and motor need
to be large enough for the size and water needs
of your home. Some pumps have different modes
that allow you to conserve water and energy to
keep the bills down. Do you want a manual or
automatic shut off? Finally, the noise level of
the pump needs to be taken into consideration as
well. After considering the above and verified
with Plumber Toms River or Plumber Howell code,
you are ready to proceed. Next, I will outline
tips on how to install your pump effectively and
efficiently.

Preparing for installation Before beginning the
installation, be sure your main water valve is
completely shut off. You want no water running
to any part of your home. Leave your faucets
open as this will release any air that is in the
system. Cutting the pipe and attaching water
pressure pump A cut will need to be made in the
water main, just after the meter. Use emery
paper to clean pipe before cutting as this helps
with the fittings grip on the pipe. Be sure to
make the cuts exact to the fittings you are
using, such as a 90-degree fitting or a 45-degree
fitting. Measure two or three times if needed to
ensure precise cuts are being made.

Once the installation is complete, turn on the
main water valve and verify proper flowage is
occurring. It will take a few minutes for the
air to run through the pipes and water to flow as
normal. Check the gauge on your water pressure
pump. Depending on the size of your house,
Plumber Toms River or Plumber Howell suggests
gauge should run between 50-70 PSI. The maximum
should be 75 PSI. Anything over 75 PSI can wear
out and damage your pipes. Conclusion Low water
pressure doesnt necessarily mean you cant take
the comforting, relaxing shower you crave. If
your source, whether it be a well or city water
delivery, isnt getting you the pressure you
need, a water pressure pump may be the answer.
With preparation and knowledgeable game plan,
its a great option to install your own pump and
reap the benefits of properly pressurized water
in your daily life.
