Salamander Pumps has announced the launch of a new range aimed at creating a simple solution to boosting mains water pressure and flow – an often complex problem for both homeowners and installers.
Recent research showed that 48% of consumers don’t know that their water pressure problems can easily be rectified with the fitting of a Salamander mains boosting solution.
The new range, comprising 11 different products, features inline pumps and accumulator tanks, and is designed to provide a quiet, lightweight and easy-to-install solution to all domestic and light commercial mains water boosting needs.
Along with the new range, Salamander Pumps is helping to make specification simpler for installers. It has introduced an easy-to-use product selector to its website, to further help installers specify and source the right product.
Salamander Pumps has also created a range of AccuBoost training modules on its eSchool, to further aid plumbers in the specification and installation processes.
The new mains boosting range includes:
CombiBoost – an entry level inline pump boosting mains water flow up to 10 litres per minute
HomeBoost – an intelligent inline mains pump, which recognises when water pressure and flow are low and automatically boosts the incoming mains water up to 12 litres per minute
AccuBoost – a range of accumulators which store mains cold water at pressure, before releasing the water into the system when an outlet is opened. Salamander’s AccuBoost range comprises five different sizes; 60, 120,180, 300, and 450l – with all sizes except the 60l available in either pumped and unpumped models
Salamander’s AccuBoost models have been carefully designed to provide all-in-one solutions, meaning they require little assembly and ensure a simpler installation. Choose pumped when mains water pressure and/or flow are low or when space is limited. The pumped option will ensure a minimum flow rate of 12 l/min plus the additional flow provided by the tank.
Not only this, the tanks are manufactured from lightweight composite vessels, rather than traditional steel, reducing the weight significantly compared with some other accumulators on the market.
The products in the range will be available to purchase through merchants, while Salamander will also be running a roadshow and face to face training events throughout January to March, in selected regions.
Gareth Richards, Technical Director at Salamander Pumps, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our new MainsBooster Range. Our research and development team have been working tirelessly on the new range to develop cutting edge technologies that are new to the pump market, to ensure we’re offering the best products possible.
“We understand from our customers that accumulator tanks are often heavy and laborious to install, which is why our AccuBoost tanks are manufactured from extremely lightweight materials, and are supplied as pre-assembled products, which are ready to install.”
