Break Tank and Booster Pump Installation in Dorset

If your building suffers from low water pressure, slow taps, weak showers, or toilets that take forever to refill, you’re not alone — especially in older or rural commercial properties.

One of the most reliable long-term solutions is a break tank and booster pump system. Together, they provide consistent water supply and stable pressure — ensuring your building runs smoothly, even during peak demand.

At Total Energy Services, we design, supply and install break tanks and booster pumps for commercial sites across Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset, helping businesses and organisations improve water flow, reliability and performance.

We’re a family-run heating and plumbing company based in Blandford, Dorset, trusted by commercial customers across the region for tidy workmanship and honest advice.

What Is a Break Tank and Booster Pump?

A break tank and booster pump are usually installed as a combined system.

✅ Break Tank (Water Storage & Separation)

A break tank stores a reserve of mains water and creates a safe separation between the public mains supply and your internal building system. This helps to:

• protect against backflow risks
• maintain a reliable water supply even if mains pressure is poor
• support peak demand (multiple outlets used at once)

✅ Booster Pump (Pressure & Flow Support)

A booster pump (or booster set) pulls water from the break tank and increases pressure to deliver consistent flow around the building.

In simple terms:
Break tank = stores water
Booster pump = pushes water at the right pressure

Why Commercial Buildings Need Break Tank and Booster Pump Systems

Many commercial premises struggle with poor water pressure due to:

• rural locations (weaker mains supply)
• older pipework layouts
• multiple floors or long pipe runs
• high demand from users
• expansion over time (more toilets/showers/kitchens added)

A break tank and booster pump setup ensures:
✅ reliable water pressure across the whole building
✅ fewer complaints from staff, guests or visitors
✅ improved performance for washrooms, showers and catering areas
✅ a system designed around your building’s actual usage
