Importance of Suction Pressure Fluctuation in Boost Applications   Suction pressure is a critical input when designing booster station applications. However, the type of suction pressure and the range available is often overlooked at the initial design stages. This often causes major issues with the design of the system resulting in higher costs, cavitation, and…

hydropneumatic tanks

While TIGERFLOW water boosters are tenacious by nature all on their own, some situations could benefit with the addition of a hydropneumatic tank. Take a look at our infographic below to learn more about hydropneumatic tanks and when you may need to use them with our TIGERFLOW systems. Are you looking for a new system…

NPSHa vs Temperature

Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHa) is the absolute total suction head in feet at the pump suction. This value must be greater than the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHr) for the pump. NPSHr for a pump is typically indicated as a curve for the pump curve range as well as a number for…

Hydropneumatic Tanks and Their Use with Domestic Water Boosters

The engineered water boosters from TIGERFLOW are designed to operate without needing add-on components, like hydropneumatic tanks. However, in certain situations and applications, the addition of these expansion tanks can be quite useful. In today’s blog, we’re covering the basics that you need to know about hydropneumatic tanks and how they are used with open…

TIGERFLOW Booster System

All TIGERFLOW systems are masterfully engineered, but on occasion, some customers have experienced speed control issues with overshooting and short-cycling. To ensure that your system doesn’t overshoot its setpoint pressure or short-cycle by turning on and off too frequently, use this nifty infographic to fine tune your TIGERFLOW Mark V controller. For over thirty years, TIGERFLOW…
