More about this product
Overview
Mainsboost accumulator systems are designed to stablise water pressure and increase flow to combination boilers and unvented systems allowing multiple taps and showers to be used at the same time.
Designed for unvented systems where the mains pressure is greater than 2.0bar but water flow is inadequate. Mainsboost is installed directly onto the incoming water supply and under mains pressure fills with water. The CAD2 water chamber is surrounded by positive pre-charged air pressure sealed within the vessel. When the chamber is full the unit reaches a state of pressure equilibrium, meaning the water pressure and pre-charge pressure are balanced.
The Mainsboost accumulator system now has a volume of pressurised water ready for distribution throughout the property and where required can be supplied with multiple vessel options.
Where space is an issue, Mainsboost is also available in a range of horizontal sizes to suit the application requirements and re supplied with an additional mounting cradle.
Mainsboost accumulator systems can be supplied with up to three vessels as standard, included vessels from 100 to 1000 litres and flow rates up to 80 litres/minute.

What is the Stuart Turner Mainsboost MB 300SV-1-22 used for?
It is an accumulator system designed to stabilise water pressure and improve flow to combi boilers and unvented systems.
What size vessel is included with the MB 300SV-1-22?
This model includes one 300 litre vessel with a single tank capacity of 174 litres.
Is the Stuart Turner Mainsboost MB 300SV-1-22 WRAS approved?
Yes, the product page lists the system as WRAS approved and supplied with an epoxy coated vessel and butyl diaphragm.
What is a mains pressure boosting system?
A mains pressure boosting system increases the pressure and flow of water from the incoming mains supply into a property. It typically combines a pump and a storage or expansion tank, drawing water from the mains and delivering it to taps, showers and appliances at a stronger, more consistent pressure. They are used where the incoming mains is too weak to serve modern outlets reliably.
When do I need a mains booster pump?
You normally need a mains booster if static mains pressure is below 1.5 to 2 bar, if showers run weakly when other taps are open, or if combi boilers struggle to deliver hot water. Anglian Pumping recommends checking static pressure at the stop tap before specifying a system, then choosing a model rated for the number of bathrooms and outlets in the property.
What size mains booster do I need for my home?
Sizing depends on the number of bathrooms, the type of fittings and the static mains pressure. As a guide, a 1 to 2 bathroom property with combi boiler or single shower often needs 1.6 to 3 bar boost. A 2 to 3 bathroom property typically needs 3 to 4.5 bar with an integral break tank. Larger homes need a tank-and-pump system such as the DAB Esybox with Esytank or a Powertank set.
What is an accumulator tank?
An accumulator tank is a pressurised vessel that connects directly to the mains supply and stores water under pressure. When a tap or shower opens, water discharges immediately from the vessel at full mains pressure rather than drawing only from the street main. This delivers stronger, more consistent flow at peak times. Accumulators have no pump and no moving parts so they are maintenance free and silent.
When should I use an accumulator instead of a pump?
An accumulator is the right solution when static mains pressure is adequate – above 2 bar – but flow is poor or drops during peak demand. It boosts available flow without adding a pump, energy use or noise. If static pressure is below 2 bar, a booster pump is needed instead, or an accumulator combined with a charge pump such as the WaterBoost ACF1.
What size accumulator do I need?
Accumulators are typically sized on a 60 per cent usable rule – a 300 litre vessel delivers around 180 litres of boosted water per cycle. As a guide, a 2 to 3 bedroom home suits a 300 litre vessel such as the GWS GCB-300LV. Larger 4 to 5 bedroom homes or properties with multiple bathrooms typically need 450 to 600 litres. Vertical models save floor space, horizontal models suit lofts and roof spaces.
What types of Stuart Turner pumps are available?
Stuart Turner offers products for shower boosting, domestic water pressure improvement and mains water boosting systems.
Are Stuart Turner pumps suitable for low water pressure?
Selected Stuart Turner products are designed to improve pressure or flow, but the correct model depends on the supply arrangement.
How do I select a Stuart Turner replacement pump?
Match the existing model, system type, positive or negative head requirements, voltage and required performance.
