City Water Pressure Booster
I have city water but the pressure is lousy. Static pressure is around 45 but when you cut on a faucet the pressure drops to a low figure. Water enters my house at between 45 and 50 psi with a flow of 17 gpm but flow is reduced to 6 gpm at most of the faucets in the house. I have 3/4 inch pex on all the main lines with 1/2 inch branch lines. How low the pressure goes I am not sure but 2 people cannot shower at the same time. My question is does anyone have any experience with the residential water pressure booster pumps? Do they work and do you need the tank with them? I see some that just have a pump. Any reply appreciated.
Thanks
