We take it for granted that we can turn on the tap, take a shower or flush the toilet at any time of the day. With our pressure boosting systems – that we tailor to the application- we ensure a problem-free user-experience to the comfortable and consistent water pressure delivered with minimal energy costs. Keeping water supply in homes, offices and industrial applications self-evident.

Proven reliability
A DP-Pumps booster system is real Dutch crafmanship. Every detail of our booster systems, from the hydraulic parts to the pipework and the control unit, has been developed and made in our 16.000 m² factory on the basis of many years of experience.
Direct contact with the factory has many advantages:
- A lean process makes it possible to produce simple and advanced installations in a day.
- The support team can respond quickly if you have any changes in delivery times or specifications
- You can consult with Product Engineers and arrange trainings with Product Specialists
Service-friendly design
Continuity of water pressure is one of the most important elements in the technical design of our installations. Every booster system that we supply is assembled, programmed and tested in our factory for quick installation and comissioning on site.
- The smart design of the manifolds makes it possible to “mirror” the manifold on site, allowing connection of the installation to the main water supply on either the right or left side of the booster.
- “Flex flanges” in combination with adjustable non-return valves and adjustable “Easy-fit” fittings, make it easy to align the manifolds and set the correct tension during installation and maintenance.
- You can even service the pump and non-return valves without interrupting the building’s water supply.
- With the intelligence of the DP-Control it is easy to adjust the settings to your needs.
Flow-through design
Care for water quality
Every detail of our booster systems, from the design, choice of materials and the organisation of our production processes, contributes to guaranteeing the highest level of water quality.
- all components, from pressure vessel to the chamber behind the ball valves give 100% flow-through. This prevents potential (Legionella) bacteria from multiplying in the biofilm of standing water.
- In our production facility we operate strict safety requirements, and the safety of the test water is guaranteed by purification, constant change and regular sampling.
- All materials used meet or exceed the strict standards imposed by European legislators.
Efficient and durable
Our pumps use energy efficient electric motors (IE3 and IE5) as standard and we produce installations with advanced speed control to further increase efficiency. In each configuration, enlarged flow diameters of the pipes and settings ensure minimal pressure loss. Together with custom configuration and accurate calculation from our experts we create the most energy-efficient pump installation for your building.
How do you select the right booster system
Customised systems – competitive prices
When you need advice or support, you can trust that we are always there for you. For example, when choosing the right system for your application. An over-dimensioned system wastes energy, that is not a sustainable situation and will cost more money than is necessary. If the system is too small it will result in complaints about a lack of water pressure. Determining the right size of the system starts with an accurate calculation.
Our technical advisors convert the details from a building into designing a customized booster. By correctly calculating the system based on the periods of average water demand, energy savings are made, peak time water pressure delivered and optimal efficiency achieved.
Customers around the world
Whether you order a standard 3-pump installation for a large, new build residential project; a 1-pump installation on a freighter; or a large 6-pump installation with advanced control for a luxury hotel, all our systems are made by skilled technicians, dedicated to deliver the right system for your application.

Determining the right size of the booster starts with an accurate calculation
How tall is the building? When are the peak times in water demand? Remember, every building is different. When you have calculated the correct amount of water consumption during peak times, and included the pre-pressure delivered by the water company, you will know what is needed to provide the highest floors with sufficient water pressure. This involves calculating “pipe loss”; pres-sure loss due to constrictions, t-pieces, elbows, length and the diameter of the piping.
By accurately compensating for this loss, the pressure on water tap points and fire hose reels remains sufficiently high. A common mistake is to select the booster system to run at its most efficient point during peak periods. But peak demands are short, typically just 3% of the total time. By correctly calculating the system based on the periods of average water demand, energy savings are made, peak time water pressure delivered and optimal efficiency achieved..
Making these calculations is daily work for our technical advisors. They convert the details from a building into designing a customised booster. Every booster, including the pumps, is produced in our own factory. We don’t have stocks of standard systems; every system is custom made.
The installations we supply are made in our 16,000 m2 modern production facility that is located on the same loctation as our head office, in Alphen aan den Rijn. Due to these short lines with colleagues from engineering, product management and planning, we can quickly switch for you if necessary.
