Lowara SMB10 Booster Pumps
Lowara SMB10/B/10HME03S15/M2/UK booster pump 1003100417
- Established 1975
- Trusted by thousands of customers
The Lowara SMB10/B/10HME03S15/M2/UK (1003100417) is a single-pump variable-speed booster pump from the Lowara SMB range, built with one 10HME03S15 Lowara e-HM Smart (e-HME) horizontal multistage pump, with a 1.5 kW high-efficiency permanent-magnet motor and integrated e-SM drive, for a 1 × 230 V single-phase supply. It delivers up to 52.4 m of head and flows up to 17 m³/h (283.3 l/min).
The e-SM drive varies pump speed to hold a constant set pressure as taps open and close, so the pump only uses the energy demand calls for. Supplied with a spring-type non-return valve, 5-way delivery fitting, pressure gauge and pressure transmitter, and a pressure tank, ready for water supply and pressure boosting in homes and small buildings.

What is a water booster pump?
A water booster pump increases the pressure of an existing water supply to give stronger flow at taps, showers and appliances. It can be a small inline pump fitted to the incoming mains, or a larger pump and tank set that draws from a break tank to feed the whole house. Boosters do not create water – they raise the pressure of the water already coming in.
What is the difference between an inline booster and a tank-and-pump booster?
An inline booster connects straight onto the incoming mains and is limited to 12 litres per minute under UK water regulations – examples include the Salamander HomeBoost and WaterBoost WB-Compact. A tank-and-pump booster, such as the Grundfos Home Booster or DAB Esybox with Esytank, draws from a break tank and can deliver much higher flow rates for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.
What is a variable speed booster pump?
A variable speed booster uses an inverter to adjust pump speed in real time to match demand. It maintains constant pressure as outlets open and close, runs more quietly than a fixed-speed pump and typically saves up to 50 per cent of the energy a fixed-speed equivalent would use. The DAB Esybox, DAB Esybox Mini 3 and Grundfos Scala2 are common variable speed examples.
What are centrifugal pumps used for?
Centrifugal pumps use a rotating impeller to move liquids and are commonly used for water transfer, circulation and industrial processes.
How do I choose a centrifugal pump?
Compare the required flow rate, total head, liquid characteristics and electrical supply with each pump’s performance curve.
Are centrifugal pumps suitable for dirty water?
Some are designed for clean water only, while others handle solids or wastewater. Check the particular pump’s permitted liquid and solids specification.
What does a water booster pump do?
A water booster pump raises water pressure to help supply taps, showers and other outlets when the existing system cannot meet demand.
Can a booster pump connect directly to the water mains?
Not every booster can. Direct connection depends on the product design and applicable water regulations; some systems require a break tank.
How do I size a water booster pump?
Assess simultaneous flow demand, required outlet pressure, available inlet conditions and the pressure losses in the pipework.
