The difference between pipeline pump and booster pump

2026-04-24

Many users are confused about the two types of pumps, Pipeline Pumps and booster pumps, and do not understand the connection and difference between the two types of pumps. In fact, there is no essential difference between the two types of pumps, both of which are booster pumps and play a role in boosting. So what is the difference between the two? Below, we will dispel this doubt for everyone. The only difference between a Pipeline Pump and a booster pump is that a Pipeline Pump is equipped with a bottom valve that can suck water from the lower part into the pump body to transport it away, while a booster pump does not have this ability and can only transport water that flows into the pump body.

Pipeline pumps are usually vertical pump products, such as pipeline booster pumps or Pipeline Centrifugal Pumps. Their inlet and outlet are on the same horizontal line and can be directly connected to the pipeline being transported. The motor of the pipeline pump is located above the pump body, and the inlet and outlet diameters of the pipeline pump are the same. There is a square base under the pump body, which can be easily installed on a concrete foundation. Small and lightweight pipeline pumps do not require a fixed base and can be directly supported and fixed by the inlet and outlet pipelines. However, in this case, the pipelines at both ends of the pipeline pump must be supported and fixed. The most commonly used pipeline pump product at present is the ISG Pipeline Centrifugal Pump. This series of products has good energy-saving effect and very low vibration and noise. This product is an optimized design based on the original old pipeline booster pump. It can be used to transport water or various liquids similar to water. The vertical chemical pump made of stainless steel material can also transport corrosive media. If equipped with an outdoor explosion-proof motor, the explosion-proof pipeline pump can also be installed outdoors, such as in oil depots and other environments.

The definition of a booster pump is actually similar to that of a pipeline pump. A booster pump is a type of pump that adds an additional pressure to the original pipeline pressure to transport water to farther and higher places. It is a pump product without self-priming ability, and when the pressure in the household water supply network is insufficient, installing a household booster pump on the household water supply pipeline can meet the requirements.

In summary, although both types belong to booster pumps, they differ in their pipeline transportation methods.
