Booster Pump Calculator
Calculate the right booster pump for your water system with our comprehensive calculator. Determine pump specifications, power requirements, and installation costs based on your project needs.
Step 1: System Requirements
Understanding Flow Requirements
Flow rate (GPM) depends on the number of fixtures you need to supply simultaneously. Pressure increase required is the difference between existing pressure and desired pressure at the farthest fixture.
Step 2: Pump Selection & Cost
About Installation Costs
Installation costs vary based on system complexity, pipe modifications required, and local labor rates. Variable speed pumps are more expensive but offer energy savings over time.

Pump Power Calculation Formula
Pump Power (HP) = (Flow Rate (GPM) × Pressure (PSI)) / (1715 × Efficiency)
To calculate required pump power: Multiply flow rate by required pressure increase, then divide by 1715 (conversion factor) times pump efficiency percentage.
