Grundfos Water Booster Pumps for Reliable Pressure
Grundfos booster pumps and booster sets are designed to increase and maintain water pressure where the available supply is unable to meet the requirements of the building or system. From compact Grundfos water booster pumps for domestic and light commercial applications through to multi-pump commercial booster sets, the range provides solutions for varying flow and pressure requirements.
A correctly selected Grundfos booster pump can help provide stable water pressure as demand changes, with solutions available for applications supplied from mains water, break tanks and other clean-water sources.
- Compact and multi-pump configurations available
- Constant-pressure water boosting options
- Domestic, light commercial and commercial applications
- Solutions for varying water demand
- Mains water and break-tank boosting applications
Grundfos Mains Water Booster Pumps
A Grundfos mains water booster pump can be used where the available incoming water pressure is insufficient to provide the pressure required by the building or application. Depending on the system design, water can be boosted from the mains supply or from a break tank before being distributed throughout the building at the required pressure.
Grundfos water booster pumps can help maintain consistent water pressure as demand changes throughout the day. This is particularly important in taller buildings or properties with multiple water outlets, where the available mains pressure may not be sufficient to serve every point effectively.
The appropriate Grundfos mains water booster pump or booster set will depend on factors including the available inlet pressure, required outlet pressure, flow demand, building height and whether water is being supplied directly from the mains or via a storage tank.
How Does a Grundfos Booster Pump Work?
A Grundfos booster pump increases the pressure of the incoming water supply so that the required pressure can be maintained at outlets throughout the system. When water demand changes, controlled booster pumps can adjust their operation to maintain the required pressure while avoiding unnecessary pump operation.
In multi-pump Grundfos booster sets, additional pumps can operate as demand increases, allowing the system to respond to varying flow requirements. This makes booster sets particularly suitable for buildings where water consumption changes significantly throughout the day.
Choosing the Right Grundfos Booster Pump or Booster Set
Your challenge:
To ensure constant pressure, tall commercial buildings or any buildings with the requirement for water delivered efficiently face two major challenges. First, pre-pressure in water mains is rarely high enough to cover the whole building. Second, water demand changes constantly. Break tanks are typically installed to keep water on stock. However, this makes the need for pumps even more urgent as water needs to be boosted to reach different users.
This means a booster system must not only be reliable but also have the intelligence to maintain the right pressure regardless of consumption. Single booster systems, however, can result in unacceptably high pressure within the lower floors. When this happens the system needs expensive pressure relief valves that waste energy to remove excessive pressure.
Our solution:
Choosing the right pressure system depends on the height of the building and the load profile. But in most cases a zone divided system, where a number of boosters serve their own pressure zone, offers the most efficient solution. Zone divided boosters ensure no more pressure is added to the system than what is needed.
This means your building has equal water pressure to all floors without wasting energy – even under fluctuating consumption. A zone divided approach also offers the reliability of multiple pumps and ensures the system can adapt to fluctuating consumption.
Reduce energy consumption by 55% by selecting the correct Booster System for your application.

Grundfos Booster Pump FAQs
A Grundfos booster pump is used to increase and control water pressure where the existing supply does not provide sufficient pressure for the building or application. Booster pumps can be used individually or as part of a multi-pump booster set.
A Grundfos booster set combines one or more pumps with the controls and components required to provide controlled water-pressure boosting. Different configurations are available according to the required flow, pressure and application.
Grundfos booster pumps can be used in mains-water pressure boosting applications. The appropriate arrangement depends on factors including the incoming water supply, required pressure, flow demand and system design. Grundfos recognises both direct mains boosting and break-tank-based configurations.
The correct Grundfos booster pump depends on factors including required flow, required outlet pressure, available inlet pressure, building height and whether the application is domestic, commercial or industrial.
A booster pump can refer to an individual pump used to increase water pressure, while a booster set usually describes a complete pressure-boosting system that may include one or several pumps, controls and associated components.
Yes. Grundfos offers booster solutions ranging from compact domestic and light-commercial systems to larger Hydro booster sets designed for complex commercial, industrial and water-supply applications.
