What device is used to increase water flow or pressure?

A booster pump is a device specifically designed to increase the pressure or flow of water in a system. In the context of hemodialysis, a booster pump ensures that there is adequate water pressure for processes such as dialysis machine operation, where consistent and sufficient water flow is essential for efficient treatment. This pump enhances the delivery of water, making it suitable for various applications, including those that require high demand.

While other devices mentioned may serve important roles—such as a water heater, which warms water, a filtration system that purifies it, or a softener tank that treats hardness—the specific function of increasing pressure or flow is where the booster pump excels. Therefore, the role of the booster pump in optimizing the water supply for hemodialysis procedures stands out as particularly critical.
