Domestic water pressure booster systems are a Callaghan Pump and Control specialty for 15 years. The company has sold these systems to high and low rises, and warehouses. John Callaghan estimates that he’s sold over 2000 water booster pump systems.
Callaghan exclusively uses Yaskawa iQ1000 drives in his pump packages, saying that they are great for not only domestic water systems, but for HVAC as well. With an HVAC package system, Callaghan notes that you can overcome static pressure of a pump head and friction loss of water attempting to move through a pipe. The pressure loss from the street and pump can be as much as 10% of your pressure.
To mitigate HVAC pressure and efficiency Callaghan recommends using a transducer with your water pressure booster system. It transmits in milliamps and mitigates speed times efficiently, resulting in sound savings. In this set up, all you need is:
There’s no need for a control, but if you must have one, Callaghan recommends his very own SCADA which can be synced to any on-line device you choose. In this way, you have full control of your water pressure booster system and know what’s going on with it at anytime and any place.
