Water Pressure Booster Systems

Overview

All Purpose Pumps’ HYDRA™ Industrial Water Pressure Booster Systems are engineered to provide reliable, constant water pressure to mechanical cooling and process equipment. Optimised for flows from 1 to 150+ L/s, they ensure consistent performance across varying demand conditions. Each system is fully custom-designed to meet project-specific requirements and principal specifications. Advanced configurations, including dual redundancy (N+1), deliver uninterrupted operation and enhanced reliability for mission-critical applications.

HYDRA™ Pressure Booster Systems are engineered to handle a full range of flow conditions, including low-flow applications, through the use of low-flow jacking pumps. This approach maintains optimal hydraulic efficiency across all operating points, reduces mechanical
stress on pump components, and extends the operational lifespan of the system while ensuring reliable, high-performance operation.
