The Salamander TankBoost 450l CAT 5 is an all-in-one unit that has the ability to boost multiple outlets, simultaneously. The use of a type AB air gap makes this product suitable for use with hazardous fluids, as it is protected against backflow and therefore limits contamination in alignment with Category 5 Water Regulations.
More about this product
The Salamander TankBoost 450l CAT 5 offers simultaneous boosting across multiple outlets, for increased water pressure up to 3.0 Bar, and greater water flow up to 80l/min. It’s suitable for mains-fed commercial entities, with the inclusion of the type AB air gap and weir overflow preventing the water from the tank going back into the mains water supply, and therefore making this an appropriate purchase for dealing with hazardous fluids in accordance with the relevant Category 5 Water Regulations.
Additional water storage units are available as required, if you need to increase capacity.

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.
