Mainsboost MB 450SV-1-22

The Mainsboost MB 450SV-1-22 system is engineered to stabilize water pressure and enhance flow for combination boilers and unvented systems. It ensures multiple taps and showers can be operated simultaneously without compromising performance.

Key Features:

  • Optimized for Unvented Systems:
    • Ideal where mains pressure exceeds 2.0 bar but flow is insufficient.
    • Installed directly onto the incoming water supply, it efficiently stores and pressurizes water.
  • CAD2 Technology:
    • The water chamber is encased within a pre-charged air pressure vessel.
    • Balances water and air pressure when filled, ensuring consistent performance.
  • High Capacity and Versatility:
    • Provides a reservoir of pressurized water ready for distribution throughout the property.
    • Accommodates multiple vessel configurations to suit property needs.
  • Compact Horizontal Options:
    • Available in horizontal designs with mounting cradles for installations where space is limited.

Specifications:

  • Flow Rate: Up to 80 litres/minute.
  • Vessel Sizes: Range from 100 to 1000 litres, suitable for diverse applications.
  • Multi-Vessel Configurations: Supports up to three vessels as standard, offering flexibility for larger properties.

The Mainsboost MB 450SV-1-22 system delivers a reliable solution to water pressure and flow challenges, making it ideal for residential and commercial applications requiring stable and efficient water supply.

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.
