The collective water supply in the country is very weak pressure, what should I do?

Good afternoon, Boris. There are several solutions to the problem. Depends on the objectives pursued and the allocated budget.

1. The cheapest option: buying a pressure boosting pump. It is installed at the point of entry of the water pipe into the house. Power will be enough for a comfortable domestic use. It is not possible to water the plot with its help. The cost, depending on the manufacturer and the modification, will be from 2600 to 6000 rubles. The popular Oasis model, in the attached picture # 1 its appearance.

2. Installation of a mini pump station. Comes with a 2-liter accumulator. Engine power +/- 2800-3000 rpm. Average productivity is 30-40 liters a minute. The price component is slightly higher, from 3500 rubles and higher. A major role is played by the manufacturer. With this capacity, it is possible to water the site without simultaneous domestic use of water. Figure # 2 for clarity.

3. The most expensive option with a 100% result is the construction of a full-fledged station with a supply of water. Clearly binding option in Figure # 3. An important advantage is the storage tank. Allows you to use water at the time of its complete absence. Even the weakest pressure will not be felt by households. I advise you to choose containers with a volume of at least 200 liters. Pay attention to the presence of a valve blocking the intake when the tank is full.

If you connect a powerful pump directly to the water supply system, you will completely deprive the water supply of the neighbors who are further down your line. Finding this installation method is fraught not only with scandals, but also with penalties. Plus, the work on the “dry” at zero flow pretty quickly disable expensive equipment.

Installing a storage tank in the attic definitely will not work. According to your words “a very weak head, sometimes water disappears completely” simply will not allow filling the tank. Further aggravate an existing situation.Now, in the hours of a small trickle, water enters the tap, if you install the tank in the attic, even it will not.
