Booster Pump Service

Booster pumps play a vital role in environments such as schools, blocks of flats and apartments, public buildings and offices; increasing water pressure to enable the transportation of water across several storeys.


When booster pumps fail, the result can be extremely disruptive for building users, with water pressure dropping and in some cases water supplies being cut off completely.
Unfortunately, many premises that rely on a booster pump neglect regular qualified maintenance, leaving essential tasks to on-site maintenance and repair teams who may not have the skills, tools and expertise to properly maintain pumps or notice when something is wrong before it’s too late.


Read our latest blog post to find out more about the recommended frequency of booster pump maintenance, what should be checked during a service, signs that a service may be due as well as providing  a  checklist to help you carry out routine checks yourself.
Recommended Booster Pump Service Frequency
If you’re responsible for the care and ongoing maintenance of a booster pump, you should aim to have it serviced by a professional pump engineer annually. Preventative maintenance of your pumps through a regular pump service plan offers a number of benefits including:
  •     Reduced risk of unexpected breakdown.
  •     Increased efficiency of the pump.
  •     Decreased risk of injury from pump malfunction.
  •     Higher building user satisfaction.
  •     Reduced noise and vibration from the pump.
  •     Rectification of small problems before they develop into larger (and more expensive) ones.


Signs That Your Booster Pump Is In Need Of a Service
In addition to your regular maintenance contract, you should call in a professional pump engineer if you notice any of the following:
  •     Excessive vibration from the pump.
  •     Excessive noise being created by the pump. Read our blog to find out more about controlling noise in your booster pump system.
  •     Low water pressure.
  •     No water pressure.
  •     Rust or degradation within any component of the pump.
  •     Leaking from pipework or pump unit.
  •     Increase in energy bills.
Booster Pump Maintenance Checklist
Before carrying out any pump maintenance or visual checks, you should ensure you have consulted the pump manufacture’s supply manual and have the right protective equipment. You should aim to carry out the following checks on a monthly basis:
  •     Visual inspection of the shaft seal for any leakage, you should call a professional pump engineer if you notice any leakage.
  •     Visual inspection of the pumps pressure and discharge gages, any abnormal readings should be assessed by a professional pump engineer.
  •     Check of the pumps foundation to ensure the frame is secure – any bolts that are loose should be tightened – if this problem reoccurs is could be a sign of excessive vibration.
  •     Check vital components of the pump for any rust or other degradation.

How to Size a Submersible Water Pump

For outdoor projects requiring water flow, a submersible  water pump in Dubai , UAE is a popular and useful choice. Not only do wells use them, but they’re commonly found in ponds, water gardens, fountains, waterfalls and other lawn features with spouts. Submersible pumps are economic ways to circulate water in ponds and other lawn features. Not only are they fully submersed in water and completely free of noise, but they can be used to drain ponds as well. For any project, it’s important to size your pump correctly. Here’s a closer look at some of the common recommendations to follow when sizing your submersible water pump: Well capacity:  One of the most obvious measurements you need to size your water pump is the capacity of your well or other water project. The larger the well, the greater the requirements for the pump. However, modifications sometimes can be made to the pump to correct insufficient water capacity. Performance curve:  It’s important to achieve a b...
