DURUB WATER SOLUTIONS – Booster System Engineering Team
1. Introduction
Water pressure in UAE homes is a daily comfort.
But to achieve perfect pressure at all taps, shower mixers, and bathroom fixtures, the booster pump must be designed according to engineering standards, not guesswork.
Incorrect booster design is the #1 reason for:
Weak pressure
Pump cycling
Broken mixers
Noise
Fast pump failure
This guide explains how DURUB designs a booster set that works perfectly in UAE villas.

2. Understanding the Required Pressure (BAR)
Small villas (2–3 bathroom)
Required: 2–3 bar
Medium villas (4–5 bathroom)
Required: 3–4 bar
Large villas / luxury homes
Required: 4–6 bar
(System should be VFD for stability)
—
3. Flow Rate (LPM) Requirements
Flow is calculated based on:
Number of bathrooms
Peak usage (morning/evening)
Pipe diameter
Distance from pump to taps
Standard average:
Small villa: 25–35 LPM
Medium villa: 35–55 LPM
Large villa: 55–90 LPM

4. Essential Components of a Proper Booster System
1. High-quality multistage pump
Ensures stable pressure.
2. SS316 NRV
Prevents backflow and protects pump.
3. Pressure Vessel
Reduces cycling.
Small villas: 24–30L
Large villas: 50–60L
4. Pressure Switch or VFD
Pressure switch = basic systems
VFD = luxury & large villas (constant pressure)
5. Anti-vibration pads
Reduce noise and protect piping.
6. Proper manifold
Ensures clean water flow to all lines.
