Booster sets: Informations
Booster sets were specifically designed for automated domestic water supply with rain, grey or groundwater or with water taken from wells or cisterns. In addition, they are used for filling and emptying basins and reservoir tanks as well as for irrigation purposes.
They can also be used in an efficient manner to increase the pressure inside the house water system. The range of application of domestic booster sets is very versatile and it takes little to install them firmly, should this be required.

Domestic water supply counts among the key applications of booster sets. In an increasing number of households, people rather use rain, grey or groundwater for many applications instead of expensive and valuable drinking water taken from the mains. This makes sense, for instance, for flushing toilets or operating washing machines - and of course for irrigation, since the reduction of your consumption of water taken from the mains will decrease your household costs in a noticeable and durable manner. At the same time, the responsible handling of water as a primary matter reflects your active contribution to the preservation of our environment.
Automatic irrigation
Automatic irrigation: Typical application of booster sets
Automatic irrigation: Typical application of booster sets
Automatic irrigation is one of typical ranges of applications for which booster sets are especially suited. In this regard, too, particularly large pressure tanks of our boosters sets are very beneficial. Normally, the expansion of the long flexible hoses which are commonly used is responsible for a pressure drop within the system. The size of the large tank compensates for this and prevents the pump from cutting in again.

Pressure boosting
Pressure boosting in a domestic water system may be necessary for various reasons. Sometimes the water supplied by the public utilities is lacking the necessary pressure, in particular in the top storeys where the water frequently arrives with a poor pressure. In such cases the installation of a booster set to act as a pressure-increasing system is recommendable. The cut-in or the cut-out pressure can be set very specifically, so that the insufficient pressure provided in the domestic water system can be increased to highly accurate target values.
Dry-running protection

Dry-running protection
Dry-running protection prevents pumps from damage caused by overheating of the hydraulic components which may occur in the case of the absence of water or if a system is leaky. Operating pumps with too little or no water at all or with leaking lines - so-called dry running - is frequently the cause of considerable damage to the equipment. With booster sets equipped with dry-running protection this risk is inexistent since the pump will cut out in time.
Prefilters

Prefilters are recommended as accessories, especially for self-priming pumps. They will extend the lifetime of the pump since they filter out efficiently sand and solid matters from the fluid being conveyed. The high-quality filter mesh made of plastic modified to impact strength can be cleaned conveniently so that it can be used over and over again. Such a prefilter is included in the standard equipment of some of our booster sets.

In general, the installation of booster sets requires the observance of the same information and conditions as for the installation of garden pumps and automatic booster units. The only difference is present with regard to the firm installation of this kind of equipment.
For the firm installation of a booster set we recommend the use of flexible hoses between the booster set and the pipeline. In this way you will prevent the transmission of vibrations into the pipeline system. High-quality flexible armoured hoses - in stainless make and suitable for conveying drinking water - can be found in our accessories selection.

In systems equipped with our booster sets the use of particularly large pressure tanks as a standard feature has proven again and again to be very beneficial. Compared to a smaller designs, a larger tank will lead to a better pressure compensation and a decreased cut-in frequency it.
Another important aspect of the installation of our booster sets is the fact that they are all suitable for conveying drinking water as all these devices are equipped with a food-proof membrane.
