I had been looking for a booster pump to boost the hot water for my extended house, after a lot of research i came across this, it exceeded my expectations, it’s fairly quiet and was easy to fit
Did the job, we now have a more powerful shower since having it fitted.
Great pump very quiet would recommend to boost feeds from vented tanks
Can't rate this above 1 even tho you say you have several in stock ,after ordering nothing arrived to find out later that they have no dates for when it will be available waste of time and effort
Excellent pump for the money works really well
Great Pump , compact and easy to install
Have just fitted this pump so don’t know how long it will last but I installed it on hot water cylinder which never had the height to get good head pressure so fitted this pump with internal flow switch and wiring was just on plug and when I opened the hot water tap the pump kicked in and gave good pressure. Happy customer
A good quality booster pump - pressure isn't thatgreat nor flow to be honest.
But itis very quiet and can easily be hung on wall with a couple of anti-vibration clips
Easy to fit a run very quietly. Would recommend.
This pump was suggested by my plumber to boost hot water supply on our bungalow.
Works instantly ang greatly improves the flow.
Very impressed that Toolstation delivered the next day. Top marks on all fronts !!
The Hot Water pump ordered was a competitive price, in stock and delivered the day after the order was placed
I don't normally leave reviews but I was so impressed by this pump that I've made an exception even though I can only echo what others have already said: appears to be very well built (it's quite weighty so it needs to be well supported by pipe clips), apparently silent in operation (I cannot hear it over the flow of water) and very effective: the time taken to fill a jug of hot water reduced from 19 to 12 seconds and it's a good 'solid' stream - no splattering! We're over the moon with this, especially at the bargain price Toolstation charge compared with others
Do not underestimate this pump. I have now installed 5 of these and cannot fault the reliability of these units. Very very quite and built like a tank as mentioned by another reviewer. No brushes to wear out and solid body. This pump will be good for 15-20 years and I'm not exaggerating!! Don't expect the most powerful of pumps but definitely provides a good flow of water pressure. Perfect for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment or a small house.
Top marks to Grundfos on this one. Bought a Salamander which was a mistake, flow rate a bit too high for our 4 tap bungalow but the killer was the noise. Sounded like a Chieftain tank starting up. The Grundos is all but silent, and the flow rate boost is perfect. We have only 0.18 bar head. The Salamander boosted extra 1.5 bar, the Grundfos about 0.7.
Couple of points to watch out for. Positioning is vertical with flow going up, so in our case called for some creative plumbing involving Robocal auto air vent which I can also recommend. Also the 3/4" threads are not very deep. I plumbed direct to 22mm pipework so couldn't use the 1/2" couplers provided. These use fibre washers but my brass fittings didn't have the correct seating so massive amounts of PTFE tape instead. Slight very slow leak on the outlet terminal, about one drip per hour which will eventually dry up by itself.
Despite these drawbacks overall hugely impressed with this great little pump.
Great solution to boosting the hot water in the house. Just left it on auto and it works with the flow switch, you would think it is now a combi boiler with the pressure at taps. As long as fitted with Surrey flange at cylinder
