Salamander Pumps has announced the expansion of its TankBoost range with the introduction of a higher pressure 5.0 bar variant.
TankBoost combines a storage tank with a submerged pump for quiet running. Designed for mains-fed systems, TankBoost increases pressure and flow across multiple outlets and across multiple floors at the same time.
Since it was first launched in 2023, the original 3.0 bar TankBoost models have provided installers with a solution delivering up to 3.0 bar and 80L/min.
The new variant has been launched to meet demand from installers for a higher pressure solution for larger, multi-level properties with several outlets and increased water consumption. It will deliver water pressure and flow up to 5.0 bar and 120L/min
In particular, the 5.0 bar TankBoost has been designed for boosting water in taller buildings with long pipe runs to outlets on upper floors, which can all cause pressure to reduce.
Compared to the 3.0 bar model, which delivers up to 80L/min, the 5.0 bar variant and its flow rate of 120L/min makes it suited for properties where multiple outlets are in use at the same time.
The company says that typical applications for the 5.0 bar TankBoost include houses of multiple occupancy, B&Bs, hotels, small gyms, salons, restaurants and cafes.
TankBoost comes in a range of tank sizes from 100L to 450L, with the option to include additional storage tanks to increase capacity. A CAT 5 version fitted with a type AB airgap is available for sites at risk of backflow contamination with Category 5 fluids.
Commenting on the new TankBoost variant, Bryan Liddle, Sales Director at Salamander Pumps, said: “Our 5.0 bar TankBoost variant gives installers a powerful, versatile solution for in larger buildings where higher pressure and flow rates are required.
“Since launching in 2023, our initial 3.0 bar TankBoost solution it has been strongly received, with installers praising its all-in-one design allowing for simple installation, as well as its quiet running and smart appearance.
“It’s great to maintain momentum with TankBoost and expand the product range through launching this new 5.0 bar variant. Installers now have access to an even greater choice of solutions to meet a wider range of water boosting requirements.”
