Both are a means of delivering water at an increased pressure. The difference between the two is how they are installed. The water pressure in an elevated water tank system increases as the height of the tank goes higher. As a simple example, get a length of transparent plasticÊhose and fill it with water. Hold both ends of the hose at level then slowly raise one end higher than the other. Water will flow towards the lower end. For a booster pump system, there is no need for elevation. The pump itself is capable of increasing the pressure by pushing water fasterÊusing a hydraulic valve system.

Pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on the height of the tank but does it also depend on how full the tank is?

Yes, the pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on both the height of the tank and the level of water in the tank. The pressure is directly related to the height difference between the water level and the point of discharge, and it decreases as the water level in the tank drops.
