Keeping your pool sparkling clean is easier with the right pool booster pump. Designed to give pressure-side pool cleaners the extra push they need, a booster pump improves circulation, can help maximize cleaning coverage and can even help maintain crystal-clear water in both small above ground pools and larger backyard setups.

A booster pump works behind the scenes to make pool care simpler and more efficient. By delivering good consistent power to your pool cleaner, it can reduce wear and tear on your system, extend the life of your equipment and even make pool maintenance less of a chore. Quiet operation and energy efficiency mean you can also run your pool cleaner without worrying about noise or high electricity bills.

Reliable, powerful and simple to use, a booster pump is a smart addition to any pool system. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Do you need a booster pump for a pool?

Whether you need a booster pump depends entirely on the type of automatic pool cleaner you use. A booster pump is specifically required for most pressure-side pool cleaners to ensure they have enough water pressure to operate effectively.

While your main pool pump is responsible for overall water circulation and filtration, it often cannot provide the high-pressure flow necessary to power the mechanical drive and debris vacuum of a pressure-side cleaner. 

How long do pool booster pumps last?

On average, a pool booster pump lasts between 10 and 15 years. While this is the standard life expectancy, the actual duration of the unit depends on several key variables regarding its environment and upkeep.

How much does it cost to install a booster pump?

The average cost to install a residential water booster pump typically ranges between $1,200 and $3,000. This total includes both the cost of the pump unit and professional labor.

When should you use a booster pump?

A booster pump should be used whenever your existing water pressure is not enough for your needs or when water must be moved from a static source to a specific destination. It acts as an intermediary to increase the flow and pressure of water, ensuring consistent delivery across your plumbing system.

Should a booster pump run all the time?

No, a water booster pump should not run continuously. These systems are designed to activate only when there is a demand for water or when the system pressure drops below a specific threshold.
