Reply To: Low water pressure (booster pump advice)

Kook, I am fro Australia. In Queensland Australia the Regulations require that any water service must be sized to give a minimum pressure at any outlet of 5mhead (aprox 5.5lb) with a max velocity of 3m (10ft) per second.
You have to weigh the costs of the supply & installation of a tank (break tank) the ongoing certification for backflow, the electrical connection, maintenance. as agains the upgrading of the 3/4″ service to an adequate supply, in Australia this work can only be done by a Licenced Plumber, licenced as a Plumbing Contractor and he would have to upgrade the service at his own cost if it failed to supply the required water at the required rates. Don’t your plumbers have any responsibility to supply water to the consumer at a given rate?
