A booster pump essentially increases the force or thrust of the water coming out of your shower system. This means water comes out in a more consistent flow as well as the pressure and temperature working more consistently as well. The reason for having a booster pump is to regulate the flow between hot and cold, so if your shower pressure is less powerful when on the hot setting than on the cold setting, it might be worth installing a booster pump. The types of showers that benefit from having a show pump are predominately mixer showers, the addition of a booster pump to a mixer shower will give your shower more of a power shower feel.
Knowing the right pressure rating to choose
The pressure rating of a mixer shower is known as the bar, this will determine how powerful your shower is. Generally speaking, every shower is rated with a minimum required pressure rating of 0.1 and a maximum required pressure rating of 3 bar. It is important to note, however, that you cannot just upgrade from a low pressure to a high-pressure booster pump to increase the water pressure. Note that anything 0.3 bar or below usually needs a low water pressure shower, and anything 1.0 bar or higher needs a high-water pressure shower. We have outlined below the different types of bar pressure ratings and which you might need depending on your shower head and water pressure.
