Question about Cold Water Booster Set

[Mateus]

Hi Gents

I have problem with pressure in my house. Plumber advice my to read about cold water booster set, it is grate solution in that kind of situations i read. I think i will go for one of this device. My question is how do you sizing this to the property, what should i take into consideration. What is the best quality for money???

 

[Mateus]

So you need at least 300 so around 400 I would recommend

on website which you gave me, they have 375 or 490 both with 3bar.
is it means i will get 3 bar whole house?

 

[Mateus]

as well in option for 0.8, 1.5 or 2.6 l/sec
is it mean 0.8x60= 48l/min so 100l bath will fill up in 2 minutes??

 

[Rob Foster]

pressure maybe 1 - 1.5bar but i will have to checked, flow rate no idea is it meter?
plenty but busy till later m6 stuffed again chking


have dedicated space kind of utility/plant room but is not very much, not for 1000l or more this 500 looks grate and it will fits, but i am not sure if the efficiency will be right or might be to much and i will spend lots of money needlessly



system boiler and cylinder



What you need to know?

ok , before I would specify anything on this job I would want to know
1. heating system full details
2. present water pressure & volume per. min...and customer expectation
3. building lifestyle ..how many people..is it domestic or commercial
4. future plans extensions etc
5. customers intended budget to makecsure we are all singing off thevsame hymm sheet.
then I would produce a specification get it approved, put a fixed price quotation in at proper commercial rates draw a contract up, take a deposit and deliver it in specified timescale
subject to variations

however if the op puts up the info properly we can all have a proper look in my opinion

If you have a good pressure but poor flow, supply partially blocked, leaking or undersized. What size is the Property??? Is it on Gravity System? Tanks in loft & Cylinder???

Hi Rob,
1. I don't know probably full details of heating system but i can tell you there is 12 radiators (4towell rails) , boiler Vaillant 30kw, 4 zones (1 underfloor heating) but i don't know why you ask about the heating if i need suite only pressure and flow rate???
2. 1.5 bar, volume i don't know? But i read 18l/min is descent
3. 2+2 family + 2 parents/visitors. It is my house.
4. no more kids🙂 no extensions. Just sort this house nicely
5. budget i don't know i would like to buy something right quality to money and install my self. I know how to hold spanners and pliers.

There is basement, ground, 1st and loft. Unvented Sealed system. Pipes size i think is OK 28mm mainly. Friendly plumber advise me to boost everything and that's why i look for help and advice

 

[Mateus]

Aslong as your pipe sizing is correct yes/ you could

Shoun in your opinion what size of pipe should go to 2 floor to get that time of filling bath??

Sorry if you gays feel used, but i really try save some money, anyway i will install something i just don't want learn on my mistake because it will cost me a lot 3-4k if i don't get right result. I am DIY person, know how to solder on my own purposes, some knowledge i have i like to know what's going on in my house, ect. If you don't want to help its OK i will be just little bit sad because i was thinking this is forum for everyone not only pro

It is for everyone but what you are trying to install is certainly not a diy install. It’s going to take correct sizing, planning and installation to get a system that you’re happy with. Please don’t take offence
