Pressure Pumps
Pressure pumps are used for pressurising water systems for a variety of uses. They most commonly draw water out of a storage tank but can suck from a dam or river.
As pressure pumps operate automatically, the water system is kept constantly pressurised, providing a constant water supply. Systems can be controller via a pressure switch or by electronic speed control to give a more even system pressure and give energy savings.
Brands Available:
Fixed speed and variable speed pumps
- Fixed speed operates at one speed and duty point and works well when the quantity of water required is relatively constant.
- Variable speed provides the flexibility to deliver the quantity of water required at a given time. Excellent for applicants where a wide range of duties are required and offer power savings.
XJ Water Pressure Systems
Dynajet XJ pumps are an ideal home pressure system to use when drawing water from a level that is below the pump such as in a buried or partially buried tank.
Grundfos CMB range of pumps
Available as a self-priming pump with a PMI / 2 Control offering dry run protection
OR as a pressure switch system for specific application
Grundfos Variable Speed Pumps
Grundfos offer a range of pumps with variable speed to maintain constant pressure and power savings. Such as the CMBE and CRIE Range.
