Boosting a Large Property, London   May 2019

In May 2019, we were asked to specify a complete system for boosting cold water over 3 floors to 5 bathrooms and 1 cloakroom. The system comprised of a Smart-box Twin Variable Speed Booster Set and 800 Litre Break Tank with connection kit tailored to the property’s pipework – both chosen to ensure a quiet-running and energy-saving solution with enough cold water storage to meet the full system operating for a period of 10 minutes.
An insulation jacket was specified to ensure the water inside the tank does not overheat or freeze. The tank cleanse was sized up in line with the tank’s capacity to offer continual protection against pathogenic bacteria, which can grow in water systems if left untreated. The tank cleanse also prevents the build-up of scale, biofilm and rust, which are conditions that can affect water flow and valve operation.
Finally, on the hot water storage side, a 400 Litre Indirect Stainless Steel Hot Water Cylinder with specially sized coil and Smartcirc BUPA-25-4 Secondary Circuit Stainless Steel Heating Pump were specified in accordance with the end user’s hot water requirements. The complete system was supplied through Frank Finn’s local plumbers’ merchant.

  I’ve been very impressed with all the systems that I’ve bought through Pump World. They have been a great help on the technical points. Can’t recommend them enough.”
