PlumbingRepair and Maintenance Decisions4HighHomeowner$ implied
New homeowner has an extremely loud booster pump under kitchen sink that activates whenever any water is used, causing noise throughout the house, and cannot be turned off because upstairs loses water pressure entirely.
Existing booster pumps are too loud and there is no obvious way to fix the household water pressure issue without the pump, nor knowledge of quieter alternatives.
