Space Challenges for a Booster Pump? Not a Problem!   

Restaurants rely on higher pressure water. It’s critical for food preparation as well as cleaning and sanitizing restaurant equipment, utensils, and tableware.

Therefore, domestic booster pump systems play an extremely important role in the day-to-day operations of a restaurant, especially a large restaurant, serving large numbers of people.

To help a new restaurant in Oak Brook, IL, Piccolo Buco, we were contacted by BTR Engineering looking for help specifying a booster pump system. This project was a challenge because the basement area and floor space were extremely limited. However, we love challenges!

We put our heads together and came up with the perfect solution – an inline domestic booster pump system that could be mounted in the ceiling.

To meet their tight space requirements, BTR Engineering specified the Taco Vertical Inline KV Pump as the ideal solution.

We recommended the KV Series Vertical Inline Pumps because they require no isolation pads and their simple, in-line design can save the customer money / energy. The controls are self-contained in the variable frequency drive which is wall mounted at eye level.

Once the specifications were approved, we supplied the equipment for the Plumbing Contractor to install the pump system near the ceiling.

BTR Engineering was pleased to have a unique workable solution for their client. Management at Piccolo Buco was also happy with the solution, and allowed us to come in and take photos of the successful, ceiling installation.

If you are an engineer or engineering firm looking for solutions and specifications for unique client plumbing or HVAC challenges, give us a call. We have an enviable amount of experience in the industry and are happy to share our expertise.
