How to increase flow in mains-fed systems?

Many homes suffer with low water flow. This can be caused by a number of factors, including inadequate mains water supply, restrictive pipework, collapsed mains water pipe, and restrictive outlets.

There are many solutions available that will increase the water flow in a property. The example below illustrates how the Salamander Pumps MainsBooster range can provide a boost to water flow rates. View the full range on the Salamander Pumps website.

Example: A property currently has a total incoming water flow rate of 20L/min and an unvented cylinder but cannot run all showers at the same time without the flow dropping off.

The vertical red line on the graph indicates 20L/min. Salamander Pumps’ TankBoost, AccuBoost 450L or AccuBoost 330L will deliver more than 20L/min, with TankBoost delivering up to 80L/min. Increasing the flow rate will allow multiple outlets to be used at the same time.

*Assumes a natural mains flow rate of 12L/min in addition to the flow provided by the accumulator.
