Title: clarke bootser pump - new booster pump time
Post by: Ian101 on February 12, 2015, 07:00:25 pm
ok time for a new booster pump ... consensus on forum that this is the one to go for

 https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cbm240e-1in-multi-stage-230v-booster-pum?da=1&TC=RV-051011132


but for £90 or so less is this one

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cbm240-1in-multi-stage-water-pump?da=1&TC=RV-051011130




why do I need the one with the sensor on top its not as if the water board are going to stop the water or am I missing something ?

They are the same pump but the more expensive one (the bit on the top) will shut the pump when the water suply is stoped, it stops the the pump running dry. If you use a float vave or solenoid then go for the expensive one.

Don't get one of these for a ton. Ours hasn't missed a beat for three years, more ? I dont think its expensive enough.

According to the literate the ones you linked are 48 M head, the one we have is 46 M head.. its reads about 85 PSI on the gauge once it running.

my last booster pump was placed upon counter of plumbers merchants and I said to give me what I need to connect this up to a tap.

do you think a 1" screw to 1/2 hose like gardiners sell would work for this ?   http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/fittings-barbs-adapters-etc/hose-fittings-screw-to-barb/nylon-male-screw-to-1-2-barb-elbows.html
