What's the best way to fit it?
Do I split my hose pipe near the outside tap and connect it between hose pipe then the hose pipe goes to the merlin

Please help guys as I'm  ??? ???

Inbetween your tap and merlin : tap - hose - booster - hose - merlin
Try to keep it resonably close to the merlin if you can, means the chance of pressure loss is minimal (if you run a lot of hose between tap & merlin)

Is this a booster pump? I don't think it has a pressure switch but I maybe wrong.

You don't need a pressure switch unless your tank has a shut off valve

These...

Choose thead size and bore diameter of hose...

So if the pump has one inch bsp thread choose that, standard garden hose is 1/2 inch (12.7mm so go for 13 mm)

Then choose another one to suit pump and Merlin tube size
