No, this pump is strictly for use with gravity-fed, tank-supplied water systems.
It is designed to boost specific appliances or showers; it is generally not intended to serve as a whole-house pressure pump.
The pump is rated at 53dB, which is comparable to the sound of a quiet refrigerator or a gentle conversation.
It should be installed in accordance with local electrical regulations, typically requiring a fused spur connection.
The PLUS model features a quieter motor and improved internal components for better pressure and flow performance.
No, the pump must be installed in the orientation specified in the installation manual to ensure proper cooling and operation.
Check that the water flow is sufficient to trigger the internal switch and ensure there are no air locks in the pipework.
Ensure the pump is mounted on a flat, solid surface and that the flexible hoses are not under tension or touching surrounding pipes.
Verify that all isolating valves are fully open and check the inlet filters for any debris or sediment buildup.
Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all regulations are met. The pump is designed for 15mm pipework and utilizes the included flexible hoses to reduce vibration transmission through the house structure. Ensure the pump is located in a well-ventilated area to allow for natural cooling. Avoid extreme temperatures and ensure the pump is protected from freezing. Periodically check the flexible hose connections for leaks and ensure the isolating valves are accessible. Always verify that your water storage tank has sufficient capacity to handle the boosted flow rate of the pump to avoid drawing in air.
