I have a water boosting system as follows:-
1hp self priming pump connected to the city mains
Pressure tank 24 Liter capacity with air pressure 28psi
Pressure switch set to 40/60 psi
The system works fine most of the time when the city pressure is around 20psi but sometimes I notice that the pump can not switch itself off obviously because it can not build up pressure up to 60psi for the pressure switch to cut off , that happens usually during the peak time when the city pressure is relatively lower.
I do need the house pressure to be in the range of 40/60 and I can not reduce the setting to 30/50 psi as it would be very low for the shower and would make the pump go on and off during the shower WHEN THE CITY PRESSURE BECOMES HIGHER IN THE EVENING TIME.
I have been advised here that I got the wrong type of pump and I should have bought a multistage pump which can build up high pressure ...
The question now is:-
IN STEAD OF BUYING ANOTHER EXPENSIVE MULTISTAGE PUMP ( Not even available in my area for the time being) , CAN I BUY ANOTHER SMALLER PUMP AND CONNECT IT IN SERIES TO THE EXISTINFG PUMP TO HELP IT BUILDING THE PRESSURE TO 60PSI ?
Thanks for every one in advance!
