Water pressure pump

A water pressure pump (also known as a booster or pressure-boosting pump) helps increase water pressure in your pipes. It's commonly used for household appliances like toilets, washbasins, and washing machines, as well as for watering gardens and lawns. These pumps are self-priming, meaning they can draw in water automatically without manual priming.

When would you need a water pressure pump?

A water pressure pump is commonly used to supply water to appliances, irrigation systems, and indoor taps. When water pressure drops, the pump automatically boosts it to ensure consistent flow. Water pressure pumps are ideal for:

  • Rainwater harvesting systems – use harvested rainwater for toilets, washing machines, and irrigation

  • Increasing indoor water pressure – especially when your home suffers from low mains pressure

  • Running multiple taps, appliances, or sprinklers at once – without a drop in flow

  • Garden and lawn irrigation – including automatic irrigation setups

A water pressure pump has many purposes — from daily household comfort to efficient garden care and sustainable rainwater use, all with reliable water pressure when you need it.

Which water pressure pump should you choose?

There are three main types of water pressure pumps, depending on your needs:

1. With pressure vessel

A water pressure pump with a pressure switch and pressure vessel is ideal if you want to maintain a reliable water buffer. The standard pressure vessel holds around 20 litres, with larger and smaller sizes available to suit your specific needs. This setup prevents the pump from switching on for small water demands, making it perfect for handling drip leakages, such as a connected toilet cistern or minor leaks in irrigation systems. Additionally, this type of pump is highly recommended for environments with an unstable or fluctuating power supply, like boats or ships, where consistent performance is essential.

 Example models: DAB Aquajet 

2. With an electronic controller

Water pressure pumps with an electronic controller provide a compact and easy-to-install solution. They automatically activate at the slightest drop in water pressure, ensuring a consistent supply whenever you need it. They are particularly suitable for systems where small leaks or drip supplies aren’t a concern, as they don’t rely on a water buffer to operate. Thanks to their efficient design, these pumps provide reliable pressure without unnecessary cycling, making them ideal for homes and irrigation systems that require quick response without constant running.

Example models: DAB EuroInox 40/50 M + Control-D

3. With a speed controller

The third type is the water pressure pump with a speed controller. This advanced pump dynamically adjusts its rotational speed to match your exact water demand, delivering steady and consistent pressure while minimizing energy consumption. Its quiet operation and energy-efficient design make it an excellent choice for those who want reliable performance and lower running costs. Additionally, these pumps are fully configurable via an easy-to-use display, allowing you to tailor performance to your specific needs. Compact, reliable, and built to last, this type of pump is ideal for nearly any application.

Example models: Tallas D-ECONCEPT, DAB Esybox mini 3, DAB Active Driver Plus.

Our top 3 picks

To help you narrow down your choices, here are our top 3 picks tailored to different needs. 

Where to install your water pressure pump? 

Choosing the right location for your water pressure pump depends on how you plan to use it. There are two common setups:

1. Booster between existing water pipes

When boosting pressure inside your home, the pump is usually installed near the water meter, often in the meter cupboard or where the water system starts. Installing it here ensures better water pressure throughout your pipes. We also offer special booster pumps designed to run quietly, so you won’t be disturbed by noise inside your home.

2. Self-priming pump with an external water source

If you’re using a pump to draw water from a source like a rainwater tank, pond, or canal, it should be placed as close to that source as possible. The pump uses a suction hose to draw the water, then pressurizes it for irrigation or household use.

To get the best performance, consider what you want to achieve, how much water you need, and the optimal setup for your situation.

FAQ

How much does a water pressure pump cost?

Water pressure pumps vary in price from around £149 to over £3,600, depending on the type and features. Entry-level models with a pressure vessel are the most affordable, while advanced, speed-controlled systems with smart features and ultra-quiet operation come at a higher price.

Key factors that influence the cost include:

  • Pump type (with tank, electronic controller, or speed controller)

  • Features like silent operation, digital display, or app connectivity

  • Build quality and brand reliability

  • Size and capacity

Depending on what you’re looking for: a basic solution or a high-end system, we have a pump to suit every budget and every need. 

What do you need to be aware of when you buy a water pressure pump?

The first question to ask yourself is: what do you need the water pressure pump for?
Water pressure pumps can be used in various situations, but not every type is suitable for the same task. Below are the most common applications:

1. Boosting water pressure in and around the house

A water pressure pump is the ideal solution if you're dealing with low water pressure, like a weak shower spray or poor pressure when multiple taps are in use. It can be installed directly into your water supply system to boost pressure throughout your home.
Great options for this include the Tallas D-ECONCEPT, DAB Esybox mini 3, and DAB Esybox.

2. Supplying water from a well or natural source

Want to irrigate your garden or use natural water for household appliances such as toilets, sinks, or washing machines? A water pressure pump is also perfect for this. While most models can be used for this purpose, each one has its own benefits.

The key difference is in how they draw water:

  • Above-ground pumps like the Tallas D-BOOST, DAB Aquajet, Tallas D-ECONCEPT, and DAB Esybox mini 3 are installed on dry land and use a suction hose to draw water from the source.

  • Submersible pressure pumps like the Tallas D-ESUB and DAB Divertron are placed directly in the water source and pump the water up from below.

How does a water pressure pump work?

Water pressure pumps have two main connections: a suction connection and a delivery connection. The pump draws water through the suction connection, which is attached to a suction hose submerged in a water source such as a well, canal, ditch, or pond.

For the pump to work efficiently, the entire system must be airtight. Any trapped air in the suction hose or pipe can reduce the pump’s performance or prevent it from working at full capacity. If air does get trapped, simply venting the hose or pipe usually solves the problem.

To ensure airtight and secure connections, using accessories like Teflon tape can make a big difference. Check out our accessories page for the right sealing products to keep your pump running smoothly.

Which accessories will be handy for you?

Hoses: A water pressure pump needs both a suction hose to draw water in and a discharge hose to push it out. We supply high-quality suction and discharge hoses designed for high pressure and equipped with efficient suction filters.

Filters: When using water from natural sources like wells, canals, ditches, or ponds, it’s recommended to use a pre-filter. This filter is placed between the suction hose and the pump to prevent solid particles such as sand from entering and damaging the pump. We offer both pre-filters for protecting the pump and regular filters to improve water quality by removing chlorine, odours, and other contaminants—ideal for water pumped into indoor applications.

Dry-running protection: Garden pumps cool themselves with the water they pump, so it’s crucial they only run when water is available. If a pump runs without water, called “dry running,” it can overheat and be damaged. Some pumps come with built-in dry-running protection that automatically switches off the pump in this situation. Others can be fitted with external dry-running protection devices for added safety.

Connecting kit: For easier installation and to reduce vibrations, a connecting kit with various coupling pieces can be very useful when attaching the pump to your existing water supply system.

For all these accessories and more, you can check out our accessory page.

What is the difference between a water pump and a pressure pump?

A water pump is a general term for any device that moves water from one place to another. It can be used to transfer water from wells, tanks, or ponds to your home or garden.

A pressure pump, on the other hand, is a specific type of water pump designed to increase and maintain water pressure in your plumbing system. It ensures steady and strong water flow, especially when water pressure is low or when multiple taps are used at the same time.

All pressure pumps are water pumps, but not all water pumps are pressure pumps. Pressure pumps focus on boosting and stabilizing water pressure for better performance in your home or garden.
