Following on from Stuart Turner’s acquisition of water flow specialists TWS UK, the former’s Flomate brand name has changed to Mainsboost.
The solution for smaller properties where mains water supply is insufficient and available space is restricted is Mainsboost Flomate. It features a pump designed to boost incoming water pressure by an additional 1.5 bar and featuring an integral regulator to ensure flow does not exceed the 12 ltr/min UK water regulation limits. By combining the pump with a variety of sized pressure vessels, Mainsboost Flomate also offers the homeowner a buffer of cold water storage. These system combinations will deliver up to 30 ltr/min per minute at up to 3.2 bar pressure depending on the chosen variant and are all designed to fit neatly within any standard kitchen cupboard.
For larger properties with a greater number of occupants is Mainsboost. If the water supply to the property has a pressure of at least 2.0 bar but poor flow, the system will boost water performance throughout the property allowing larger combination boilers and unvented cylinders to work at their optimum. The specially designed Mainsboost vessels store water under mains pressure in a range of sizes from 100 to a staggering 1000 litres and can provide flow rates of up to 80 ltrs/min per vessel.
Where water pressure is below 2.0 bar and not sufficient to deliver an acceptable performance from unvented cylinders, combination boilers and high end showers, Mainsboost Plus and Charger variants combine the Mainsboost vessel with a high quality pump unit to provide up to 3.5 bar pressure throughout the property. Mainsboost Plus has this highly effective pump positioned on top of the vessel, whilst Mainsboost Charger options locate the pump separately from the vessel to suit the space requirements.
Mainsboost, Mainsboost Plus and Mainsboost Charger systems are also available in an horizontal orientation making them suitable for locations with restricted vertical space.
