Selection and Purchase Guide for DamaTajhiz Booster Pump – Model B.W.S.I.D.T PUMPIRAN
Booster pumps, regardless of application type, working pressure, number of pumps, etc., are generally produced in two types: constant speed and variable speed.
In water supply booster pumps, an inverter is usually used to prevent electrical and mechanical shocks at the pump's startup. This allows the motor to start gently at low speed, gradually increasing the speed and power of the pump. If the maximum speed of the pump is reached and the required water flow or pressure is still not achieved, a second pump is automatically activated.
Additionally, in continuously operating water booster pumps or those used in industry and agriculture, a PLC system is used to alternate pump startups. This system is known as the “Change Over” system.
Generally, the word booster means amplifier, and a booster pump refers to one or more electric pumps connected in parallel via proper piping and related components on a suitable base frame. This system provides the required water flow and pressure for firefighting or water supply systems, especially in high-rise buildings, as well as for residential, industrial, agricultural, and swimming pool applications. If you're interested in purchasing the DamaTajhiz booster pump model B.W.S.I.D.T PENTAX (for water supply and firefighting) without high costs and long delivery times, please read the following details and contact our sales experts in the Heating & Boiler Room Equipment Department for a smooth and satisfying purchasing experience.

General Tables for Calculating Booster Pump Head and Flow Rate
- Water Booster Pump Pressure (Head) Calculation Table (adapted from Grundfos Handbook)
- To determine the water pump pressure, first find the building height in the left column, then move horizontally to find the minimum booster pump pressure where it intersects with the floor area column.
- For example, the minimum pressure required for a building with a height of 50 meters and 400 square meters per floor is 7.44 atm. Also, the fire protection standard for up to 800 m² per floor using a 3/4" hose reel with a 1/4" nozzle is 1.5 atm and 8 GPM (~30 lit/min) behind the furthest and highest nozzle (when using two hose reels simultaneously).
For resident-operated fire protection using a 1.1/2" fire cabinet, the standard is 4.5 bar and 50 GPM (~190 lit/min) behind the furthest and highest cabinet (when using two cabinets simultaneously).
For firefighter-operated protection using a 2.1/2" cabinet, the standard is 6.8 bar and 250 GPM (~950 lit/min) behind the furthest and highest cabinet (again with two cabinets in use).

Note:
- (m3/h) = 4.4 (U.S. gpm)
- To determine the maximum flow rate for a residential building, first find the number of units in the left column, then move horizontally to find the flow rate under "units with one bathroom" or "units with two bathrooms".
- For example, the flow rate for a building with units having two bathrooms is 18 m³/h (about 300 lit/min).
- For commercial buildings like offices, hotels, or hospitals, find the number of people or beds in the right column, then move horizontally to find the corresponding flow rate.
- For instance, a hospital with 1,000 beds needs a booster pump with a capacity of 64 m³/h (1,069 lit/min).
- The most commonly ordered booster pump brands by contractors and engineers from DamaTajhiz include Lowara, Pentax, Grundfos, Ebara, and Pump Iran.
Pump Classification Based on Function in Booster Systems
- Main Pump
These pumps provide the required head and flow rate for the entire water supply or fire fighting system.
- Jockey Pump
In systems with high flow requirements, large pumps and motors are used, which consume significant energy. However, during low-demand periods, a smaller jockey pump is used to save energy and reduce wear on the main pumps. It also compensates for pressure drops due to leaks or system losses. (Variable-speed booster pumps do not require a jockey pump.)
- Standby Pump
For critical buildings like hotels, hospitals, and factories where continuous water supply is essential, a standby pump is installed. If a main pump fails, the standby unit activates to maintain uninterrupted water service.
Note: A standby pump is mandatory in fire-fighting booster systems.

Main Components of Fixed-Speed and Variable-Speed Booster Pumps
The main components of booster pumps include electric pumps, the base frame, diaphragm or bladder tank, low and high-pressure switches, pipes, suction and discharge manifolds, fittings, and valves. Fixed-speed booster pumps also include a fixed-speed control panel, while variable-speed systems require a variable-speed control panel, inverter (VFD), and pressure transmitter. More details are provided below.
Additional Notes on Booster Pumps
- Since water demand in buildings constantly changes, failure to regulate water pressure in the pipes can cause serious issues.
- In fixed-speed systems, one or more pumps deliver a constant flow regardless of demand, causing frequent pressure fluctuations and related water supply problems.
- Sudden startup of one or more pumps can spike the water pressure, damaging pipes and valves, while sudden shutdowns can cause pressure drops and water flow interruptions.
In general, fire-fighting booster pumps must be connected to the building’s emergency power system to ensure fire suppression. According to technical and safety standards, if there is no emergency power system and a power outage occurs, at least one of the pumps in the fire-fighting booster system must be a diesel pump.
Classification of Constant-Speed Booster Pumps Based on the Number of Pumps
- Single-Pump Booster Systems:
This type of booster system is used for low to medium sanitary water demands. It is a fully integrated system where the inlet manifold connects to the water source and the outlet manifold connects to the consumption network, operated by a single pump.
- Booster Pump with Jockey Pump (or lead pump):
These systems consist of one or more main pumps and a smaller-capacity pump (with the same pressure rating as the main pumps) used as a jockey pump in the circuit.
- Booster Pump without Jockey Pump:
These systems include more than one main pump.
Note: In variable-speed booster pumps, there is no need to use a jockey pump as a backup.

Main Design Factors of Booster Pumps
- Maximum water consumption
- Minimum required pressure
- Hourly fluctuations in water usage
Overview of Booster Pump Components
- Electric Motor: The electric motor powers the booster pump. In multi-pump systems, two or more pumps are installed in parallel on a single base frame. The IP rating (protection level against dust and water) should be considered when selecting the motor.

- Suction Section: This includes a pipe manifold connected to the pump’s suction side and the storage tank outlet via fittings and valves.
- Shut-off Valve: Used to isolate a pump from the system. Cast iron valves are used in larger systems and brass valves in smaller ones.
- Strainer: Prevents particles in the water from damaging the pump impeller.
- Vibration Isolator: Prevents the transmission of pump vibrations to the piping network.
- Flange: Used to connect different booster components; available in welded or threaded types based on system size.
- Discharge Section: Similar to the suction section, it connects the pump outlet to the consumption network.
- Check Valve: Prevents backflow and water hammer damage.
- Electrical Control Panel: Coordinates electrical and mechanical components. It must be certified for safety and protect against voltage fluctuations, dry running, and operational sequencing.
For more information, refer to the article on booster pump control circuits on the Damatajhiz website.
- Manometer: Measures input and output pressure and displays each pump’s pressure.
- Pressure Switch: Regulates and monitors minimum and maximum pressure in the booster pump system.

- Pressure Transmitter: Used in variable-speed systems to maintain constant water pressure.
- Coupling: If the motor and pump are not integrated, a coupling is used to connect them based on shaft diameter.

- Base Frame: All components (pumps, motor, panel, suction/discharge parts) are mounted on a sturdy frame for integration and vibration reduction.

- Pressure Tank (Diaphragm or Bladder Type): Since water is incompressible, pressure must remain constant. The pressure tank stores water at a set pressure and reduces frequent pump starts/stops and water hammer. While a jockey pump can eliminate the need for a tank in non-inverter systems, combining both provides better protection.
