Boost water pressure

Are you experiencing low water pressure in your home? Or have you noticed that the water flow from your taps is not to your liking? Increasing water pressure is the solution. With a water pressure pump or shower pump, you can quickly and easily improve the water pressure throughout your home or bathroom. In this way you can once again enjoy comfortable water use.

Which pump is suitable for my situation?

Choosing the right pump depends very much on your circumstances. A water pressure pump improves water pressure throughout the house, while a shower pump specifically increases water pressure in the shower or bathroom. The choice depends on the type of system and the extent of the problem.

Increasing water pressure in the shower or bathroom

If you suffer from low water pressure in your shower, it is important to choose the right shower pump. Gravity-fed systems can struggle to maintain sufficient pressure, but with the right pump, you can improve water pressure and enjoy a nice shower again.

Negative head shower pumps: if your water tank is placed above the shower head, you may have a negative head system. This system often has insufficient pressure to ensure a powerful water flow.

Positive head shower pumps: with a water tank under the shower head, a positive head shower pump is ideal to increase water pressure and get a powerful jet.

Universal shower pumps: a universal shower pump works with both positive and negative head systems, ideal for a mixed system or if you are not sure what type of system you have.

Increasing water pressure for a small house or flat

Even in smaller homes a water pressure pump is useful, especially if there is low water pressure throughout the system. This pump ensures that all water points in the house are supplied with the required pressure.

Increasing water pressure for a normal home

A water pressure pump ensures that the water pressure in your home remains constant, no matter how many taps are on at the same time. You can enjoy a powerful shower while the washing machine is also running.

Increasing water pressure for a large house

If you have a large house and often use several water points at once, such as the shower, dishwasher and washing machine, a DAB Esybox is the best choice. This pump increases the water pressure and ensures constant water pressure throughout the house, even when water demand is high.

Increasing water pressure for a small garden (up to 150 m²)

For smaller gardens or when you only use one water point in the garden, such as a garden hose for flowers or plants, a water pressure pump is sufficient to increase the water pressure for that specific point.

Increasing water pressure for a large garden (150 to 350 m²)

If you have a larger garden or use multiple water points, a water pressure pump is the best choice. This pump delivers sufficient pressure for large watering systems and ensures even water distribution.

Solutions for increasing water pressure

If you find that the water pressure in your home or garden is insufficient, there are a number of solutions you can consider.

Increasing water pressure with a pump

Water pressure pump: this is the most popular solution for increasing water pressure. This pump maintains constant water pressure throughout the house and increases water pressure in the house and garden.

Shower pump: this is the best choice when the pressure specifically in the shower or bathroom is insufficient. The shower pump increases water pressure in the shower, so you can enjoy a powerful, comfortable jet of water.

Increasing water pressure without a pump

These devices help relieve the impression of low pressure, without really increasing the pressure itself. They contribute to both saving water and reducing energy consumption.

Cleaning the pipes: it's important to clean your water pipes. This is extra important if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water can leave behind minerals inside the pipes. This build-up can make it harder for water to flow through. This can also lower your water pressure. Cleaning the pipes regularly helps. It can improve your water pressure and help your pipes last longer.

Benefits of increasing water pressure

Better water flow: increased water pressure ensures a constant, powerful flow of water from both the shower and taps, significantly increasing comfort in the home.

More efficient garden irrigation: increased water pressure ensures more efficient use of water, especially in larger gardens or with multiple water points.

More energy-efficient use: avoiding unnecessary water pressure is not only good for saving water, but also for complying with environmental regulations and reducing energy consumption. Increasing water pressure ensures more even use of water, so you waste less time and energy.

Using multiple appliances at the same time: with sufficient water pressure, you can use several appliances at the same time, such as the shower, washing machine and dishwasher, without pressure drops.

Increased lifespan of appliances: by maintaining constant water pressure, appliances such as the shower and washing machine can last longer without overloading.

Increasing water pressure in the house

Achieving an increase in water pressure in the home can be complex, depending on your system: gravity-fed systems, mains water supply, combi boilers and unvented systems. 

It is important to contact the local water company or a certified installer before installing a pump. Often, the water company regulates the installation of pressure pumps (such as booster pumps). It is very important to check beforehand whether the installation requires approval, especially for mains powered systems.

Causes of low water pressure

Low water pressure can cause problems not only in the home, but also in the garden. Increasing water pressure in the home and garden ensures that water is available more efficiently and powerfully for all your uses, from taking a shower in the house to watering the garden.

Here are some causes of low water pressure, both indoors and outdoors.
