Title: water booster help needed!
Post by: reflect on November 20, 2011, 08:34:02 pm
Hi, can anybody advise me on fixtures and fittings for a clarke SPE1200SS water pump.  In machinemart the assitant was wondering how I would reduce the 1 1/2" bore hole down to standard hose pipe.  There is no thread on the hole and he said jubilee clips would just fall off with the pressure.  Loads of you use water boosters so I would really appreciate any advise on this subject.

I bought a Clarke pump off lee gls who regularly posts on here - it came with standard hose fittings so might well be worth asking him chap :)

bumped this to the top reflect because wondering if you have gone ahead and bought one of these ?
I have a machine mart at bottom of my road and considering buying one for my 4040 and is cheaper than the one I was previously looking at there.
What ro do you have and pressure ?

Sorry to ask again but the links don't work?

I have moved to a house with low pressure and have purchased water pump from Clarke CMB240E. Could anyone tell me what fittings I need.

Thank you so much

Thread is 10 years old. I have that booster pump though. Just reduce it down with barbs & jubilee clips.

I believe its the latest version of this
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cbm240e-1in-multi-stage-230v-booster-pum/

If you are looking to booster water pressure for your 300gpd r/o then this is not suitable.
