We have about 20 Wc(flush tank) + 15 Wash basin + 8 Showers+ 18 Bib Hose + 10 Garden taps + 2 Bath Tubs + 2 nos. Laundry Machines. May I request any one who can guide the procedure to find the capacity of Booster pump capacity at what head to be selected.

Ans: count total Fixture units + GPM+ then pipe length+FPM+friction losses in equivalent pipe length+statis head+ elavate head+ velocity head+fittings heads.; then you select pump to over come these heads... for more contact me...
