Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

All owners of private houses had to solve the problem of water supply. The most modern option is the use of pumps that increase the water pressure. They crash into an existing pipeline, replenishing water supplies with minimal human intervention. There are many different models of imported and domestic production. They differ significantly in price, size and technical parameters. To find the optimal unit, you should heed the recommendations of our experts.

Rating of the best pumps for increasing pressure

1. Equipment type. To create the required pressure in the water supply, you can use one of two options.
2. The most cost-effective way would be to cut a surface pump into the pipeline. It can be used not only in a private but also in an apartment building. Among the main advantages of this option, experts note quiet operation and compact size.
3. A more modern solution to the problem is the purchase of a pumping station. It consists of a surface pump, a hydraulic accumulator, an ejector and a control system. Such equipment is installed only in country houses, since the work is accompanied by serious noise. Although the price of the issue is slightly higher than when buying a pump, but the water supply system will work in automatic mode.
4. Power. All pumping units are powered by electric motors. The higher their power, the higher the performance and the longer the service life of the pump. However, extra power is also not needed, the pump is more expensive and its electricity consumption increases. The optimal indicator for home use is in the range of 500-1000 W.
5. Water temperature. Since the owners of private houses use pumps in different lines, it is important to know at what maximum water temperature the pump can operate. Any model is suitable for tapping into a cold water supply system. But if you have to pump warm water, then you need to look for a pump with an operating temperature of about + 60 ° C.
6. Performance (bandwidth). Each pump has its own flow rate. The higher it is, the faster the pump will pump liquids per unit of time. To organize water supply in a private house, productivity should be within 2-4 cubic meters. m / h.
7. Maximum head. Before going to the store, a potential buyer should calculate the amount of required pressure. To do this, the horizontal part of the water supply system is summed up and divided by 10. The vertical part of the line must be added to the resulting number. For example, for a one-story house with a horizontal component of 20 m and an immersion depth of 3 m, a head of 20/10 + 3 = 5 m is enough.

We have selected 7 best pumps for increasing water pressure in our review. All of them are sold in stores in our country. When allocating seats, the opinion of experts and consumer feedback was taken into account.

• high performance;
• auto mode;
• compactness.

disadvantages

• noisy work.

Wilo PB-201EA

Rating: 4.8

The German pump Wilo PB-201EA is inferior to the winner of the rating in terms of such characteristics as cost, productivity (3.3 cubic meters per hour) and maximum head (15 m). At the same time, experts note the high quality of the assembly. The pump casing is made of durable cast iron, which is protected against corrosion by a cataphoretic coating. The unit shaft is made of stainless steel, the branch pipes are made of bronze. The device increases the pressure by 1.3 bar and is extremely quiet. The manufacturer has provided for both manual and automatic operation.

The owners of the German pump praise it for its quiet operation, effective pressure increase, economical power consumption. The disadvantages include only the horizontal installation method and the high price.

Advantages

• two modes of operation;
• wide range of operating temperatures (+ 2 … + 60 ° С);
• German quality;
• profitability.

• one mounting method.

Grundfos UPA 15-90

Rating: 4.7

The Danish pump Grundfos UPA 15-90 is distinguished by its low noise level and high build quality. In our rating, it has become the most affordable and lightweight (2.7 kg) unit that is best suited for home use. It is inferior to the leaders in throughput (1.5 cubic meters / h), maximum head (9 m), consuming less electricity (120 W). The pump functions both in manual and automatic modes. The temperature of the pumped-over water should be in the range + 2… + 60 ° С. The rotor is constantly in water, which simultaneously cools and lubricates the parts. This helps to absorb vibration.

Domestic users in the reviews praise the pump for its quiet operation, simple installation, and the correct operation of the automation. But the performance is poor.

Advantages

• silent work;
• affordable price;
• durability;
