Description

Efficient, Automatic Water Pressure for Small Homes and Gardens

 

The MAX PUMP 0.55kW Stainless Steel Jet Booster Pump is a compact and reliable self-priming centrifugal pump ideal for domestic water supply systems where efficiency and consistent pressure are key. Powered by a 0.55 kW motor (approximately 0.75 HP), this pump efficiently draws clean water from shallow sources like tanks and cisterns, providing reliable boosting for smaller homes, cottages, and garden use.

As a dedicated booster system, this unit typically includes an automatic pressure controller (Flow Control) that manages the pump's operation. This smart control ensures the pump only runs when you open a tap and stops automatically when the demand ceases, eliminating the need for a separate expansion vessel. The pump features a durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel (S/S) body and maintains a strong self-priming ability, capable of suction lift up to 9 metres, making setup straightforward.

   Key Benefits
  • Compact Efficiency: 0.55 kW motor provides reliable pressure while maintaining low power consumption.

  • Self-Priming: Excellent suction lift, drawing water from up to 9 metres deep.

  • Corrosion Resistant: Built with a durable Stainless Steel (S/S) pump body for a long lifespan.

  • Fully Automatic: Includes an automatic pressure controller for demand-based start/stop and dry-run protection.

  • No Tank Required: The integrated electronic controller maintains constant pressure without a large expansion tank.

  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  1. How does the 0.55kW model compare to the 0.75kW model?

    • The 0.55kW model has a lower maximum flow rate and maximum head (pressure). It is more suitable for smaller properties or shorter pipe runs, offering better energy efficiency for lower demand.

  2. Does the pump need to be protected from the weather?

    • Yes. As an IP-rated surface pump, it must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated, and covered area (like a pump house or shed) to protect it from rain, direct sun, and freezing temperatures.

  3. What is the minimum water level required to start the pump?

    • When functioning automatically, the controller requires a small flow to register demand. The pump itself must be manually primed (filled with water) before first use, and the water source must always be within the 9-metre suction lift range.
