Booster plants
WILO booster pumps are installed as boosters for water supply and circulating systems.
They provide enough water pressure for high buildings, elevated parts of cities and municipalities as well as in industrial applications.
Booster pumps can be installed vertically, up to a certain number of stages, also horizontally. In case of vertical installation the space requirement of the pumping installation is very low, in case of horizontal installation the complete pipework is laid at one level.

The operation
WILO booster pumps have flanged ends and can be readily connected in line with existing pipework or in a by-pass system.
They can be used for axial or lateral suction inlet on variable locations. WILO pumps are built according to the needs on site.
Using the incoming pressure the booster pump increases the pressure to what is required. Instead of using a by-pass the WILO booster pump can also be equipped with an annular suction valve. This valve allows free water flow through the pump, when the pump is shut off.
Control possibilities of WILO booster pumps:
– water level related – by electrodes
– pressure related – by pressure gauge
– speed controlled – by frequency drives
– time related – by timer
