Hi
Just started doing up a little cottage up in Ireland, the water at front of the house comes from a spring well but the pressure is very low would I be able to fit a booster pump straight into the cold water supply pipe there is no holding tank water just straight from the well.
First in many questions I'm afraid. :)
 
Thanks for the link might not be what I can afford, does anyone think the Grundfos booster pump UPA15-90 for my cold tap would be any good and can I fit it straight onto the cold mains pipe under sink from the well.
All help and ideas appreciated.
 
Is the well supply already pumped?
Is the well pump delivering the output pressure and flow that is should?
Are there any pipework restrictions limiting the flow and dynamic pressure?

Adding a booster pump may only mask the problem until the well pump or supply pipe finally fail completely.

If the well pump and supply pipe are OK, and the delivery pressure really is intended to be that low, a kitchen tap designed to work with the available pressure may be a better solution.
 
Our spring well works the way it did over a 100yrs ago for my grandparents, a 3ft deep well with a lid on it and a rubber hose into the front kitchen fitted to the water pipe and out the tap really good drinking water and thats all we want this water for as we have another well up the hill no pump and it supplies the rest of the house, just need a bit more pressure out the drinking water tap. Do you think I could fit a booster pump to this tap.
Thanks again.
