Low water pressure

Hi, We have low water pressure in our home. It's not bad until two fixtures are running at the same time. It is a 950 sq. ft. home. On the main floor- Bathroom(tub/shower, toilet and sink) and Kitchen(sink). In the basement we have a toilet, laundry tub and washer/dryer and also a tap for the outside of the house. We have a 3/4 line coming to our property line but do not really want to dig up the lawn (and all that good stuff) to complete 3/4 service to inside of house. I am considering increasing the water pressure with a booster pump such as a Grundfos MQ3-35 Smart Booster Pump. 3/4HP, 115V. (locate in laundry room) Do you have any advice to offer as far as pros and cons? Would you recommend something like this? They say this product will raise water pressure 50 psi Read our expert's answer »
