Where municipal supply is genuinely low (common in upper-elevation Joburg suburbs and large houses with multiple floors), a domestic pressure pump connected to a small buffer tank gives consistent shower and dishwasher pressure. We size the pump to your fixture count, install with anti-vibration mounts and pressure-tank, and commission to the right cut-in/cut-out range.
What we do
Site survey, pump sizing, buffer tank and pressure tank install, electrical connection, anti-hammer arrestors, commissioning.
Pressure pump vs booster pump
Two pumps for two different pressure problems.
| Pump | Solves | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure pump | Weak overall flow | Tank-fed or low municipal pressure |
| Booster pump | Weak flow at points | Upstairs / far outlets |
