Product information
If weak taps, a disappointing shower or slow filling outlets seem to affect the house from the moment water comes in, a mains inlet booster pump may be the right kind of product to look at. This collection is aimed at homes where poor incoming mains pressure or flow is limiting day-to-day water performance, especially when several outlets are used close together. The pumps here are selected for mains inlet boosting in suitable circumstances, giving you a more relevant starting point than a standard outlet-only pump.
The main advantage of this type of range is that it focuses on the incoming cold-water supply rather than just one problem tap or shower. That can matter if the issue shows up across more than one part of the property, or if mains-fed outlets all seem to struggle in a similar way. In this collection, the current range includes inline booster pump options associated with mains inlet use, with product signals that may suit individual outlets, a bathroom or wider household boosting depending on the exact product specification.
What matters most before choosing is whether the low performance really starts at the incoming mains, and whether the selected pump is intended for your application. Suitability depends on measured supply, likely demand, pipework layout and the product limits, so this is not a one-size-fits-all answer. If your concern is mainly one shower rather than the incoming supply to the home, it may help to compare the wider Shower Pumps range first.
There is one important regulation point worth keeping in mind with direct mains boosting in England and Wales. A booster connected to the public supply must not induce more than 12 litres per minute to be drawn into the home without prior notification and consent from the water undertaker. That threshold applies to pump-induced draw from the public supply, not simply a pump's headline capacity figure or water delivered from stored supplies elsewhere in a system.
If the symptoms point to a weak incoming mains supply, this collection gives you a focused place to compare suitable booster pump options without jumping straight to a broader whole-house system. A quick check of your incoming flow and pressure, the outlets you need to support, and the selected product details will usually make the next step much clearer.
Product questions
Straight answers to the details customers check before ordering.
As long as the flow rate doesn't exceed 12 litres per minute, the Water Supply and Fittings Regulations state a pump can be fitted to the mains inlet in properties in the UK.
Some parts of the country simply have lower pressure from their supplier. In this case it can be a struggle to run taps well or even supply Combination Boiler to the right pressure. Installing a Mains Inlet Booster Pump can help increase your home water pressure to normal levels.
In order to acheive flow rates in excess of 12 litres/minute, you will need to fit a break tank where you store water for your household. You can then supply this water into your home at whatever flow rate or pressure you like.
