What is a Boiler Feed Pump?
A boiler feed pump is a device that regulates the pressure in the boiler and provides it to the burner. It has a higher pressure than that of the boiler, which is then used to push water through a heat exchanger.
Boiler feed pumps are commonly used in large boilers, like those seen on ships and oil rigs. It can also be used in smaller boilers, such as at power plants.

What are the Main Types of Boiler Feed Pumps & Which One is Right for You?
Boiler feed pumps are a significant part of a boiler system. They are responsible for delivering steam to the boiler’s heat exchangers and condensing water back.
There are three main types of boiler feed pumps: low-pressure, high-pressure, and economizer. Low-pressure boilers need a low-pressure pump to deliver steam to the heat exchanger, while high-pressure boilers need a high-pressure pump. Economizers can be either low or high-pressure, depending on which is required by the system.
The right choice depends on the size of the boiler, the type of fuel it uses, and other requirements for your home or business.

Installing your boiler feed pumps by yourself will save you time and money. Because the installation process is quick and easy. You can also avoid the cost of hiring a professional plumber. The installation procedure takes just a few hours and demands no special tools or skills.
