Section 1050. Booster pumps

Latest version.

A. Booster pumps, except those connected to supply mains not containing service connections and except those taking suction directly from storage facilities, shall be located or controlled so that:

1. They will not produce negative pressure in their suction line;

2. The intake pressure shall be at least 20 psi when the pump is in normal operation;

3. An automatic pressure cutoff or a pressure regulating valve shall be provided to prevent suction line pressure from dropping to below 10 psi; and

4. Automatic or remote control devices shall have a range between the start and cutoff pressure which will prevent excessive cycling.

B. Inline booster pumps. In addition to the other requirements of this section, inline booster pumps shall be accessible for servicing and repairs.
