Re: pressure booster pump
IMO that is not possible because the pump will not get enough water to be able to increase the pressure, let alone to 60 psi.

Re: pressure booster pump
It would require calculating the available delivery rate of the supply pipe.
For those I am quite sure I was at the pool parlor getting fleeced by a hustler when the Prof covered Fluid Dynamics! [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
Large pressure tank and a low rate pressure pump on an empirical basis is my only solution.

Re: pressure booster pump
Oh well... I had hopped that since the rate of consumption on the house side of the plumbing would not exceed single digits of gal/min that the suction side of the pump would not starve.
Oh by the way Egon... When I was in college (the first time) I had a permanent green discoloration on the heel of my left hand. It would not wash off. This was from spending so much time with it pressed against the green felt of a pool table. Our student union had several full size pool tables and a couple billiards tables (small holes and different balls.) Eight ball was 5 cents a cue per game and the house man racked the balls.

Re: pressure booster pump
Pat, on the suction side you are making an assumption that may not be true. Do some research on reynolds number and pipe flow.

Bird et al, Please see the thread in Hobbies "Pool Table"

Re: pressure booster pump
Egon, If I can get 12-15 gal per minute free flowing my supply that has a static pressure of 25-30 PSI why can't I pump 5-10 GPM at 50-60 PSI.
Don't gal(1) X PSI (1) = gal(2) X PSI (2)

Re: pressure booster pump
Sounds good to me.
