Booster pumps, or pressurizing pumps, are commonly used to efficiently move water from a cistern, rainwater water collection cistern or other shallow sources of water to a pressure tank and provide city pressure for your home, cabin or anywhere.
Read more +We have two brands of booster pumps, Dankoff Flowlight Booster Pumps and Shurflo Diaphragm Pumps. Both brands have their advantages and disadvantages and have versions for both DC and AC voltages. These booster pumps use as little as a third of the electricity of conventional AC pressurizing pumps. Additionally, they have lower power surges when they start, meaning you're don't need a larger inverter, if you're using one for AC. When used in DC systems they generally are run from a battery bank, instead of direct to solar panels.
Follow the steps in the table below to determine the pump, voltage and accessories that best meet your needs.
