Wash. Admin. Code § 51-11C-40413 - Section C404.13-Service water pressure-booster systems
C404.13
Service
water pressure-booster systems. Service water pressure-booster systems
shall be designed and configured such that the following apply:
1. One or more pressure sensors shall be used
to vary pump speed and/or start and stop pumps. The sensors shall either be
located near the critical fixtures that determine the pressure required, or
logic shall be employed that adjusts the setpoint to simulate operations of
remote sensors.
2. No devices shall
be installed for the purpose of reducing the pressure of all of the water
supplied by any booster system pump or booster system, except for safety
devices.
3. Booster system pumps
shall not operate when there is no service water flow except to refill
hydro-pneumatic tanks.
4. System
pump motors 5.0 hp and greater shall be provided with variable flow capacity in
accordance with Section C403.2.4.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
