Academy
Learn Plumbing Booster with video tutorials and walkthroughs.
The Plumbing Booster Academy provides video tutorials and step-by-step walkthroughs for every module. Learn how to configure domestic water pipe sizing, design drainage systems, select booster pumps, size water heaters, and generate professional PDF reports. Each tutorial covers real-world engineering workflows using IPC, UPC, and NSPC plumbing codes. New tutorials are added regularly — if there's a topic you'd like to see covered, let us know.
