More about this product
The Ebara 1 GPE Matrix 5-4T/0.9 ESPM 230v is a single-pump, variable-speed booster set delivering up to 46 m of head and flows to 7.8 m³/h. It pairs the 4-stage Ebara Matrix 5-4T stainless steel pump with the E-SPD+ inverter and a 2-litre expansion vessel, holding constant pressure as demand changes — quietly and without water hammer. Supplied fully assembled, tested and pre-programmed.

How it works
A pressure transducer monitors the system and signals the E-SPD+ drive to vary pump speed in real time, holding your set pressure from a single open tap to full demand. Compared with on/off pressure-switch control this cuts energy use, removes water hammer and reduces wear.
- Ebara Matrix 5-4T/0.9 multi-stage stainless steel pump (WRAS approved)
- E-SPD+ motor-mounted variable speed drive with external pressure transducer
- 2-litre expansion vessel
Typical applications
Domestic and light-commercial pressure boosting, top-up where mains pressure is low or inconsistent, limited garden irrigation, vehicle and equipment washing, and general clean-water transfer.

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.
