Title: Just moved to a lockup with poor water pressure
Post by: Mick Kent on October 30, 2016, 05:29:44 pm

What is the best booster pump to go for that has an auto cut off that i can link too a float valve that will gain me 100psi minimum? I have had a look through back posts but none say about an auto cut off.
Just so i can leave it filling all the time as have quite a few guys filling throughout the day so want to keep the IBC' s all as full as possible for everyone.

Thanks.

i have recently brought the one from gardiners as you can attach it to the solenoid auto shut off it works really well however its max pressure is 80-85 psi. but if you could get away with that then i would recommend it, my lock up tap pressure is about 22 psi to begin with.
I would add that originally i was getting about 90 psi from the booster pump (that was the reading i was getting from an inline pressure gauge fitted after 2 pre-filters) but due to my poor input tds i need to have a bigger pure to waste ratio currently 65/35 which is what dropped it down to about 80psi, i originally had it at about 55/45 which kept it at about 90psi

the float valve i use is also the one from gardiners.

hope that makes sense

You can use the flow switch in the above link on any booster pump , its the same as fitted to the clarke pumps .
