2: What is a zone divided booster system?
The supply system is split into several zones, each with its own booster set
2: What is a zone divided booster system?
A zone divided system is defined by only using in-line pumps
You can find the answer here >
2: What is a zone divided booster system?
You always have a spare pump in case of failure
You can find the answer here >
3: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
There is no excessive pressure in the system
3: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
The booster manifold is made of stainless steel and therefor requires no braze valves

4: What is the benefit of a booster pump with variable speed
The pump automatically adjusts to changes in the water consumption to keep energy usage as low as possible
4: What is the benefit of a booster pump with variable speed
A pump with variable speed is less noisy
