Problem
The site required stable pressure across multiple floors during morning and evening demand peaks. The risk was uneven guest-room pressure, frequent pump cycling, and avoidable service calls.
Engineering Considerations
FlowCore would review fixture demand, static height, friction loss, pressure set point, tank sizing, VFD control, and maintenance access before recommending a booster system.
- Demand variation
- VFD pressure control
- Tank pre-charge
- Duty-standby planning
- Noise and vibration control
Solution Approach
The recommended approach is a variable-speed booster package with correct pressure zoning, dry-run protection, service valves, and commissioning checks for pressure and current draw.
Result and Lessons
The project demonstrates why booster pump selection must combine hydraulics and controls. A pump that is large enough can still perform badly if tank sizing, sensor placement, or pressure set points are wrong.
