In multi-storey buildings, the booster (hydrophore) system makes sure water reaches every floor with enough pressure. Its faults rarely appear all at once; they usually start with small signs. Spotting them early both extends the pump's life and keeps the building from running out of water.
1. The pump switches on and off frequently
If the pump keeps starting and stopping although no tap is open, this usually points to pressure loss in the expansion tank, a torn tank membrane or a leak in the installation.
2. Water runs weakly on the upper floors
An incorrectly set pressure switch, air in the suction line or a pump too small for the building can cause this.
3. Water pressure keeps fluctuating
Water that runs strong one moment and weak the next can be a sign of a tank or switch problem.
4. The pump makes unusual noises
Humming, vibration or metallic sounds can indicate bearing wear, dry running or air inside the pump.
5. Water is leaking from the pump housing
Leaks at the seal or connection points grow over time and can damage the pump's electrical parts.
If you notice any of these signs, we recommend having it checked before the problem grows. Teknik Hayat diagnoses, maintains and repairs booster and water pumps across Kayseri.
