@plumberparts reviews the Salamander HomeBoost mains water booster pump as he installs it into a home suffering from low water pressure. The results are excellent and clearly visible, showing a stronger flowing tap and much quicker bath fill.
HomeBoost goes directly onto the mains water and quietly boosts water flow up to 12 litres per minute, improving combi boiler performance. The product is water regulations compliant, fully WRAS approved and comes with all fittings included.

In the beginning of the video you mentioned that the valve should go to the opposite end of the arrow and you connected to the opposite of the arrow. But later on, when the pump is connected to the pipes, the valve is actually on the other side!

Hi Kurdo, we really appreciate your feedback. In the beginning of the video, the installer locates the Isolation valve for the Homeboost on the inlet. This would be the correct advice if using the pump to supply a combination boiler, however later in the video the installer advises the HomeBoost is supplying the whole property so correctly installs the isolation valve to the outlet of the pump. We appreciate this may not have been clear from the start of the video, and apologise for any confusion. To ensure the correct fitting of the product and the location of the isolation valve, this information is also outlined in the Installation Guide supplied with the HomeBoost.

Sorry if I missed any mention but did not think you were allowed to add a pump to mains cold as it can suck in nasties if there was a tiny leak in the pipe?

Having read some reviews on this product quite a few are saying they are replacing the units due to leakage after about a year. 1 guy had fitted 3 in a period of 5yrs & salamander said thats normal !!! At 250 a pop thats 750 quid over 5 yrs plus installation costs so let's take that to a round 1k shall we eh ! So running costs its 200quid a year to use it over a 5yr period that's alot considering disruption & incurred costs. Its not a one size Fitz all & doesn't perform as is in the video. If you have low flow rate then its not bad but if you have close to 12litres flow rate don't expect much of an improvement!! Noise is another thing that wasn't shown on the video , especially if your up in the night to use the loo its quite loud & also be mindful of sensitive neighbours especially if it's sited close to a party wall or somewhere that can cause a nuisance ! Last thing you want is angry neighbours on your case !! So remember when the dishwasher or washing machine can take an hour or so to run a cycle so take that into account . A shower about 10 mins a bath about 34 -45 mins to fill. So a late night soak will be a noisy affair!! So all in all weigh up these factors before you go ahead & fit one!

Morning, thanks for your comment. HomeBoost is designed to boost the mains water up to 12 L/min. If you are currently getting 6L/min from the mains naturally HomeBoost will increase the flow by an additional 6L/min to deliver the legally allowed limit of 12L/min. If you would like to hear HomeBoost running check out this video, shared by an installer over on instagram - bit.ly/2UNnbnI - HomeBoost has also been awarded the Quiet Mark after independent testing demonstrated that it was one of the quietest in its category. HomeBoost comes with a 3 year warranty so if you experience any issues during that time frame please get in touch with us, we will seek to help you as best we can! You can get in touch on 0191 516 2002. Thanks

The problem with them is that the seal fails allowing water to get into the bearing so therefore the bearing fails!! I'm on my 2nd pump now and the exact same problem happened so as soon as it starts to get noisy switch it off before it completely damages the motor!! I've saved the 2nd pump by stripping it down and replacing the bearing!! If your not confident in doing this take it to a reputable repair shop and in my opinion it should only be fitted with the motor sitting above the pump ( heavy metal bit at the bottom, plastic bit on top !! ) so that if the seal fails the water can't run uphill to the bearing 🤔😁

You have reduced the. Pressure from the pump. By putting 90 bends on the in feed and out feed. If possible. Because you will reduce the flow of water having the water trying to go round a 15ml 90. On the spin of this you are a top plumber. Kind regards David

So my main water pressure is 2.3 bar and 10l/m flow. If I install this pump, does it bring pressure to 3.9 bar ( 1.6 from pump plus 2.3 from existing main water) and flow rate is still 10l/m. Am i right?
@BAmalakas
@BAmalakas Жыл бұрын
perhaps the 2.3bar is including atmospheric pressure? so relative to atmospheric pressure it would be 1.3bar - homeboost would increase that to 1.6bar - apparently delivers up to 12 l/m
@SalamanderPumps
@SalamanderPumps Жыл бұрын
Hi, thank you for your query. HomeBoost is a flow operated pump, it will improve the water flow to 12L/min and provides a maximum pressure of 1.6 bar. Therefore, if you are currently receiving 10L/min HomeBoost will draw an additional 2L/min to boost the flow rate to 12L/min. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

I’m just about to buy one of these - from Screwfix, along with the fitting kit - but tell me, does the fitting kit contain everything I need to fit this straight onto the water supply to my combi boiler or do I also need to buy a full-bore isolating valve…? The water pressure is just about tolerable at the two mixer taps in my small flat but the shower water pressure is abysmal, hence wanting to install this pump. Thanks for any help.

You can't get something for NOTHING.. I'm not a plumber but you can only either increased the volume or the a pressure or both . Physics.. It all depends on "why " you have little pressure in the first place in situations likes this.. Its not irrelevant. Its crucial unless you get lucky like this guy... A pump like this will always work if it's drawing water from.a deposit. Drip drip fill deposit at night, pump water unto you're house during the day.. That's what I've got. 1m³ Deposit (Don't drink it) Stagnant water can be a problem .. Also don't draw your water from the bottom of the deposit, that's where everything that isn't water ends up more ot less.. I'm off off grid, .. Ideally though just have your deposit Higher than your nuclear búnker and let gravity do the work. Gravity is free..

Hi There....HomeBoost will only take the flow up to 12 l/min. For anything more than that you need an AccuBoost accumulator tank to boost mains water. www.salamanderpumps.co.uk/range/accuboost/28 Try the link for further info, or if you give us a call on 0191 5162002 we can spec the right product for you based on your home and installation.

Hi, this is very disappointing to hear. HomeBoost will only boost the mains water up to 12L/min so the difference depends on what flow rate you were previously getting. However, if you feel that the performance isn't what it should be you can get in touch on 0191 516 2002, and a member of our Technical Team will be happy to help. We also offer a range of larger mains water boosting products which may be more suitable to you, find out more at www.salamanderpumps.co.uk
