This is for City water and not well water.
I'm looking to be able to take a 20 minute shower with strong shower water pressure/volume. My shower head is "old school" and puts out around 8-to-10 gpm. I currently run out of hot water after 12 minutes on my 50 gallon water heater. I'm planning on upgrading to a 100 gallon water heater.
In any event, I don't care what some people say about anything over 80 PSI being "too strong." I grew up with over 120 PSI and everything was fantastic. Many cities offer over 150 PSI at the high end.
Is low PSI necessary at the entry point before using a City water pressure booster pump, or can you have 70-90 PSI at the entry point and still use the booster pump to increase the PSI to 110-130?
Why do some of these booster pumps come with a pressure tank, while other pumps are just the pump?
These look interesting:

Finally, could I isolate the pump to use as a stand-alone pump just for the shower instead of a whole-house water booster?
Many thanks for your responses.
