I’m not really sure what a booster pump is and I don’t think I’ve ever talked to you about it but maybe I have point is can’t hook up a 12 volt pump and increase water flow feeding a tank or a machine
I thought it was you that had commented on my unconventional way of house washing and about pulling more flow from a spigot. Sorry if it was someone else. I mentioned a while back that my setup can increase both the flow and pressure coming out of a spigot and was told that wasn’t possible. I can assure you it is possible.
I agree to disagree. In my Garage I have a 170 gallon bleach tank they come and fill. To get that bleach into my trailer I have a 12v pump mounted on the wall. Pump the bleach into the trailer then I switch the inlet to water, coming from my garden hose to flush the pump. Works just fine. When you refer to the pressure switch issue I imagine you’re referring to the pump won’t turn on because it already sees pressure from the garden hose(correct me if that’s not the case) but The pressure switch is located on the outlet side, not the inlet.
Correct on the pressure switch, I’m using it in a different application, so I guess the switch would work just fine for filling tanks. I didn’t think about it that way. Filling tanks or flushing it out, you have very little pressure on the outlet side, so it would kick on. I’m using it to spray at higher pressure, so I still have higher pressure on the outlet side, so with higher inlet pressure, it never drops far enough on the outlet side.
Also, in your application you’re not building, then holding pressure, that’s why you’re not getting any leaking, it constantly flowing through just fine.
Thanks for bringing up those points. Different applications so maybe this would work for boosting pressure and flow over long runs.
