Description −
Do you experience poor water pressure or flow via your mains pressure fed heating system or combi boiler, then the HomeBoost from Salamander is the ideal low cost, compact key to help "Boost" your pressure.
HomeBoost recognises when pressure and flow are low and boosts incoming water performance automatically. HomeBoost is an intelligent inline mains booster pump. It will boost the incoming mains water supply to the whole house to 12 litres per minute.
This intelligent pump functions at 1.6 bar closed head; it will typically boost pressure by up to 1.5 bar while regulating flow up to 12 litres/min to ensure it complies with water fitting regulations. It recognises when pressure and flow are low and quietly boosts the performance of the incoming mains water, either directly or indirectly via the combination boiler, to 12 litres per minute.
They are manufactured in the UK using top quality parts which are mostly supplied by the EU. The parts are extensively tested to ensure a long lasting and reliable product.
They are straightforward to install, view the video on the product page for more information and a comparison installation with a competitor.
They are significantly quieter than leading brand electric kettles with a 46dB noise level while in operation.
As with most Salamander products the pump is guaranteed for 3 years for that added peace of mind.

Where does this attach to the pipes? Is it by the shower that you want to boost the pressure on? Thanks
It does not go by the shower. Instead, it installs on your incoming mains cold water supply pipe, just after your stopcock (the main shut-off valve where the mains water enters your home).
Do I need anything else to connect it to mains phil
We would recommend the HomeBoost fitting kit here: CHBFIT01
I have very low water pressure. Running a tape slows the shower. Cannot have 2 showers running at the same time Have quite a large house 4000sqft will this work ?
This will typically boost pressure by up to 1.5 bar, we recommend checking with your installer to see if you would need a higher boost
Can it be used if I have a unvented cylinder for my hot water
Yes, you can use a Salamander HomeBoost with an unvented cylinder. It must be installed on the incoming mains before the cylinder (and usually before any cold outlets too).
I have 0.4 b pressure, sharing a single supply with 3 other apartments, will this make a difference? Flow rate is around 7 L/S
Yes, a HomeBoost can help.
It will lift the flow up to ~12 L/min with a closed-head pressure of ~1.6 bar. It needs at least ~3 L/min natural flow to activate.
Customer Reviews
Great piece of kit
After moving from a house with fantastic water pressure to a house with very poor water pressure I decided I had to do something. So I researched whole house water pumps and came across this one. Plumbworld were the cheapest I could find for this product. Service was fantastic and delivery was swift. Easy to fit when purchased with the fitting kit which is sold separately.
Excellent
Great bit. Of kit this is my third one in 10 years but this time I decided to the red booster pump. Very quiet and easy to fit. Good price and Plumbworld service was excellent as usual. Price is great and also two or three guarantee . Thank you Plumbworld for your great and quick delivery.
Excellent addition
I have had poor pressure for years, progressively getting worse. At peak periods when most of us want a shower the pressure drops dramatically. Heard about these Salamander uplift pumps so thaught give them a try. Wow so glad I did! Whatever a difference it made.
Worked a treat
Customer had average mains pressure and just needed a slight boost, used this to top it up and maintain pressure at all outlets, remember to buy the isolation kit as it's a big help when installing/maintaining
Excellent
Does exactly was its supposed to! Easy to install aswell.
