A Multi-Pump Booster System with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is a highly efficient, automated water pressure boosting solution that uses two or more pumps operating in parallel, with intelligent control via VFDs. The system is designed to maintain constant water pressure in buildings or process systems, regardless of varying demand.
It adjusts pump speed and operation automatically based on real-time flow or pressure requirements, ensuring energy savings, reduced wear, and enhanced system longevity.
