Is there a relationship between pressure and flow rate? Why does increasing water pressure with a booster pump result in a stronger water flow at home?
There is a relationship between pressure and flow rate. The reason for the low water flow might be insufficient water supply pressure; installing a booster pump can increase the water pressure, thereby increasing the flow rate. As pressure increases, the ability to push water also increases, so the water flow rate rises. This can be explained by the continuity equation and Bernoulli’s equation in fluid mechanics; pressure and flow velocity influence each other. .
