Domestic Booster Pump Sizing

Static head = 20 m = 65.5’ = 65.5/2.31 = 28.4 psi

Frictional loss in building = Pipe length x 0.05 = (158 + 65) x 0.05 = 11’ = 4.7 psi

Frictional loss from property line to building = 75.0 m = 246’ x 0.05 = 13.8’ = 6 psi

Total Dynamic Head (TDH) = 37 psi

Available city pressure = 54 psi

Required pressure at top = 40 psi

Backflow preventer = 12 psi

Head = 40 – (54 -37 -12) = 35 psi = 80’

Flowrate = 35 gpm
