Mikrofill SPU 130 Mini Single Pump Pressurisation Unit 46719
- Established 1975
- Trusted by thousands of customers
The Mikrofill SPU 130 Mini is a single pump digital pressurisation unit for sealed heating and chilled water systems of up to 6,000 litres. It fills the system, maintains a set pressure by topping up automatically, and raises an alarm if pressure falls or the unit runs dry.
Wall-mounted, with a 2 litre break tank, solenoid piston pump and Category 5 backflow protection. Cold fill pressure up to 3 bar. Made in the UK by Stuart Turner, with a two-year warranty.
More about this product
Product overview
The Mikrofill SPU 130 Mini is a single pump pressurisation unit for sealed LTHW heating, chilled water, refrigeration and industrial cooling systems. Connected to the mains cold water supply and the system, it fills the system to the set cold fill pressure, tops it up automatically as the system loses water through venting or small leaks, and signals a fault if pressure drops below the low limit or the break tank runs dry.
The Mini is the entry point to the Mikrofill range: a wall-mounted unit for sealed systems of up to 6,000 litres, with a 3.0 bar cold fill pressure. It fills the system, keeps it topped up and gives a low-pressure alarm, all from a compact box with the break tank, pump and controls built in.

Frequently asked questions
What does a pressurisation unit do?
It replaces the filling loop and manual top-up on a sealed heating or chilled water system. The unit fills the system to the set pressure, tops it up automatically when pressure falls, and alarms if it cannot maintain pressure, which usually means a leak.
Single or twin pump?
A single pump unit is fine for most systems. Twin pump units run duty/standby, so if one pump fails the other takes over. Specify twin where the system must not go down, such as hospitals and data centres.
Does it need a separate expansion vessel?
Yes. The unit maintains pressure; the expansion vessel absorbs the expansion of the heated water. Size the vessel to the system volume and cold fill pressure. Ask us if you need help sizing it.
Is it WRAS compliant?
Yes. It has Category 5 backflow protection with a type AB air gap, weir overflow and warning pipe, so it can be connected directly to the mains.

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 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.
