I am looking for a company that sells residential pressure boosting systems. Looks like I will need a 120 gallon storage / break tank... pump system with variable speed drive...

Need them to ensure the system is adequate for flow and pressure demands.

Anyone have companies they have heard of or have used for this?

Thank you for any help possible

We use Meyers/pentair. They are a pretty good system, they have a bracket that allows you to mount the pump on top of the tank so it uses less room. Make sure there is a dual check after the meter to avoid the system from pushing the water back incase there was ever reverse pressure issues.

He doesn't have pressure issues its volume issues... He has a 1" water service when his load calls for 1-1/2"

His pressure is fine until too many people shower... He does not want a new water service. The 120 gallon break tank is to correct the volume issues... The pump to pressurize it to the house

I do alot of well stuff and have found nothing beats a goulds pump. I get all my pump and storage stuff from D&S well supply. They are based out of NY but have a warehouse here in RI. They have designed constant pressure drive systems for me as well as storage systems either underground or basement storage up to 5000 gallon. We have run into alot of Wells in our service area that have turned to salt from being to close to the ocean and there designs have worked well for me.

Build your own, you don't need to buy a packaged skid system. I do a ton of systems like this, PM me if you want some help on a design.

What pressure/flow do you have coming to the building and what pressure/flow are you looking to achieve?

Goulds Aquaboost is a nice pressure boosting system that works good with flooded suction, the drive is a basic drive pre wired to the pump- it's. Nice quality basic setup with competitive pricing. If you need something more most pump manufactures have drive companies build their drives- Goulds uses Danfoss for the larger stuff. Yaskawa drives are nice and can be used with any pump (any electric motor) but can be a little tricky with the programming if you e never used one.

PM me with your email if you want and I'd be more than happy to help you out.
