The new Saniflo Saniboost Smart booster pump is finding favour in Ireland not long after its launch. This is thanks to its ability to solve a low water pressure issue that exists around parts of the famous capital city.
The latest installation by Jacks Pumps solved an issue in a large domestic dwelling in the city. The stunning house has a basement and 2 floor levels with 6 bathrooms in total. When multiple showers and taps ran at once, the water flow dropped to a trickle. This happened despite the existing fixed constant speed cold water booster pump.
Jack Phelps, owner of pump repair specialist Jacks Pumps, was called out to solve the persistent low flow problem. He consulted Saniflo in Dublin and local merchant Davies Ltd. Together, they decided to replace the old pump with a new Saniboost Smart.
A smarter booster solution
This new booster pump from Saniflo has one inlet and one outlet. The cold water from a tank feeds the pump on the inlet whilst the discharge pipe splits into two. One continuing as a cold-water feed to the taps and WC, and the other fitted directly into a combi boiler. This heats the water via the element and the pressurised hot water is then directed to the hot taps, shower etc.
Jack set the water pressure on the Saniboost Smart pump to 3.5 constant pressure and this has completely solved the issue. The compact Saniboost produces enough constant pressure to impress both Jack and his client.
“My customer can now run multiple showers and taps with no drop in water pressure,” said Jack. “With the Saniboost Smart it is possible to make the pressure higher or lower with the push of a button. It is really easy to install and I am definitely going to be using this in other installations.”
The same pump has also just been installed in a Dublin city pub, which now has a constant supply of hot water to feed the ever-busy glass washer.
