[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7932985, member: 150618"] A booster pump will need a pressure switch unless it has one built in. Usually you'll want a small pressure tank, but a built in pressure switch might not need one. You need to clarify if you have a low pressure situation or a low flow. They go together, but there is a difference. You may have two bar pressure with no flow, but only four liters per minute or less if you open it all the way up. Or you may have less than half bar pressure with no flow, so a little bit more pressure will help. I'd check into the restriction of the float valve you intend to use, go 3/4 or 1" for the least restriction, and the size of the tank to live with the pressure you have, before going for a booster pump. Also, what is the pressure at the base of the pipeline? [/QUOTE]
