Booster pumps raise the water pressure from your JoJo, rainwater or borehole storage tank so that showers, geysers, taps and garden lines run properly. We stock complete booster sets with a pressure switch and tank or a flow switch, from 0.37kW to 2.2kW and from R1,523, plus VSD boosters that hold constant pressure and hot-water circulation pumps for instant hot water at the tap.

Frequently asked questions
What size booster pump do I need for my house?
For a typical 2 to 3 bathroom home a 0.75 kW booster pump giving about 3 bar is enough. Larger homes with 4 or more bathrooms, or homes on two floors, usually need 1.1 kW. Count how many taps and showers run at the same time and WhatsApp us on 061 744 1001 for exact sizing.
What is the difference between a booster pump and a pressure pump?
They do the same job: they increase the water pressure from a tank or weak municipal supply. "Booster pump" usually means a complete kit with a pressure switch or flow controller fitted, ready to connect.
Do I need a pressure tank with a booster pump?
If the pump uses a pressure switch, yes: a pressure tank stops the pump starting every time a tap opens and makes it last longer. Pumps with an electronic flow controller or a VSD can run without a large tank.
How a booster pump fixes low pressure
A booster pump sits after your water tank and pushes water into the house at a steady pressure. It starts automatically when a tap opens and stops when it closes, using a flow controller or a pressure switch with a pressure tank. In most areas a pump may not draw straight from the municipal main, so booster pumps are normally fed from a tank.
Which booster pump size?
- 0.37kW to 0.55kW – a flat or small home with one bathroom
- 0.75kW – an average family home with two or three bathrooms
- 1.1kW to 2.2kW – large homes, guest houses, irrigation and double-storey buildings
Stainless-steel pumps last longer with borehole water and rainwater. For the quietest option with steady pressure at every tap, look at our VSD booster pumps, which only use the power they need.
