Hopefully in the next few weeks will be purchasing a 4040 system.
The pressure entering will be 40 psi so will need a booster pump, can anyone recommend one.

Machine Mart will be doing their 20% off week in May.
If your "next few weeks" could stretch that far it'll be £250.
It'll pay for itself in lower use of resin in a year.

Bobski when I was looking at getting the 4040 this was the one that was recommended, but pricey but probably one of the best booster pumps on Z market

If you have a shut off solenoid on you tank, the control unit will sense the pressure build up and turn the pump off. Also if the water supply to the pump stops the control unit will also sense that and again turn the pump off.

Ah right thanks :)
I take it the pump is made for continuous use?
So as long as you dont mind switching the pump on and off yourself you can get away with not have the unit?

Yes.

Thanks cliff I will buy that one

I bought one of these in 2005/6 ,replaced the control unit once, still going strong used average 3 days a week for about 2 hours a time. Price hasn't changed much in that time so for 9 years work that's less than £1 a week. Buy one. You won't regret it.

i believe so
dont no what size fittings are involved not had a good look, probably 1inch fittings
-
Fittings are one inch BSP.

I purchased 1" to 3/4" BSP Brass Hexagon Bushes for my Clarke pump to accept 1/2" hose pipe and fittings.
Like this: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/Compression/Brass+Hexagon+Bush+1+x+12/d20/sd2697/p28081
Oh and plenty of LSX silicone leak sealing compound.

i just took mine into a plumber merchants they got me down to 15mm pipe and then i just slipped a hose over it with some jubilee clips.
