Low Water pressure area

[bluesky]

Dear all, I have a question please kindly help me. The job is in rural area and has very low water pressure. There is no gas here. The customer is thinking to install an electric combo boiler. The problem is the minimum pressure for electric boiler is 1 bar. How can I fill up the combo system? Can I buy Something like a pump to increase the water pressure. I don’t have this kind of experience. Please kindly help.

Thanks guys

When incoming pressure is poor ie less than 1-1.5 bar then you should consider mains booster pump and a break tank.
This will have a stored amount water in the tank with an air gap to prevent backflow into mains boosted by the pump to a set pressure.
I'm not a plumber (oil heating engineer) so have not done this type of install but if the incoming pressure is that poor then this is the type of setup you should be looking at.

Depends if you just want to fill up the heating once a water pressure testing pump will do that eg rp25

mainsboost any good to you ?
