We installed an irrigation system this year and were told we had low water pressure. System works fine---if no other water is being used in the house. The company installed different nozzles for our pressure. We contacted the city and they informed us that we were at the far end of our water district and since we are up on a hill our pressure will always be low. They measured our pressure at 55psi with approx 6 gpm flow. We have also recently done a BR remodel with a big tub and custom shower. We have two other showers in the house. It would be nice to have more pressure so that two people could take showers at the same time or to be able to fill a tub and use a shower and have good pressure or to be able to use water in the house when the irrigation system is running. We were told by the city and by the irrigation company that we could either replace the line into the house (presently 3/4") with something bigger or we could put in a booster pump. The house was built in '79 and the pipe is copper coming into the house.
Have looked at booster pumps on-line (Hydrascan?--good quality? right type of thing?) and the expense seems a lot more reasonable than putting in a new line to the house.
Any thoughts? Thanks, Dave
