Pressure Boosting Pumps

Pressure booster pumps and systems for buildings and industry

How to choose a pressure booster pump?

A pressure booster pump solves low water pressure — when the shower is weak or the tank fills slowly. The right choice depends on whether you need to boost one consumer (boiler, shower) or the whole house, the required flow and the noise level.

Grundfos UPA is a small, compact booster installed between the pipes right before a boiler or shower — a quick fix to improve the pressure of a single consumer.

To boost the whole house's water pressure, the right choice is the SCALA1 or SCALA2 all-in-one water automatic. SCALA2 keeps the pressure perfectly constant even with several taps open and is practically silent.

For larger buildings — apartment blocks, commercial buildings, large flows — there are the multi-stage CMBE and CMBE TWIN booster systems.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the water pressure low in my house?+
Typical reasons are weak mains pressure, a clogged filter or long, narrow piping. If the cause is mains pressure, a booster pump solves it — UPA for a single consumer, SCALA1 or SCALA2 for the whole house.
Which is the best booster pump for a house?+
For boosting the whole house's water pressure, the best choice is Grundfos SCALA2 — it keeps the pressure constant even with several taps open and is practically silent. If budget matters more, SCALA1 offers the same automatics at a lower price.
How much does a booster pump cost?+
The small UPA booster costs 156–299 € in our range, SCALA1 for the whole house 452–571 € and SCALA2 approx. 657 €. CMBE systems for larger buildings start at 1443 €.
What is the difference between SCALA1 and SCALA2?+
Both are all-in-one water automatics for boosting the whole house's pressure. SCALA2 keeps the pressure perfectly constant regardless of consumption and is quieter; SCALA1 is more affordable and suits a smaller house with lower consumption.
Does a booster pump suit an apartment?+
Yes — the compact UPA is installed between the pipes before a boiler or shower, and SCALA1/SCALA2 fit into a kitchen or utility cupboard. Quiet operation makes them suitable for apartments too.
Does the pump start automatically?+
Yes — all listed models start and stop automatically with water draw. The SCALA models also adjust their speed so the pressure stays even.
