Cold Water Booster Sets
Used in buildings where the mains water pressure isn’t strong enough to meet the pressure requirements of a building, due to issues such as:
- The static height of the building
- Excessive frictional losses in pipework/equipment
- Water authorities lowering the mains pressure
- A high-pressure requirement of certain sanitary ware
CAT 5 Booster/Tank Combination Units
These booster pumps have a variety of uses such as garden irrigation, multi-storey window washes and bin wash downs. These combination packaged sets can be built to achieve the required flow and pressure by utilising 1 or 2 pumps (usually but not limited to) with a suitably sized break tank either mounted on the same skid or on a purpose built frame above the pumps to minimise the footprint. These packaged sets are fully WRAS approved and can be offered with either fixed or variable speed pumps – depending on the application.
Circulation Pumps
There are a complete range of domestic and commercial circulation pumps for all water systems, including:
- Heating systems
- Boiler shunt pumps
- Boiler primary and secondary systems
- Storage tank circuits (destratification)
- Solar systems and hot water secondary (HWS) return systems
The pumps are available in fixed speed or variable speed versions with single or twin head options. All the pumps on offer are ErP compliant (Energy Related Products), and have the latest technology invertor controls which allow for maximum efficiency at all times, making them the most cost-effective solution on the market.
Pressurisation Units
Pressurisation units (PUs) or booster pumps form part of a heating or chilled water system and are designed to increase water pressure throughout a system and overcome the static height to ensure there’s adequate pressure, keeping the uppermost part of the system full of water.
They also top up the system when there is a loss of pressure due to evaporation or leaks, so it maintains the pressure within the sealed system.
There is a wide range of PUs available from some of the largest manufacturers, with single or twin pump units.
These are the some of the most common types of above ground pumps that our sister company, Willow Pumps, can supply for your clean water. However, we have a full range of products available to suit any clean water issue you may have.

Above Ground Pumps FAQs
Do I need a pressurisation unit?
A pressurisation unit may be required if you have a sealed heating or cooling system, experience regular drops in pressure, or if your system is large and complex with specific pressure demands. This device ensures that your system maintains the appropriate water pressure for efficient operation. If you are uncertain about whether your system requires one, it is advisable to consult a professional plumber. Our team at Metro Plumb is available to assess your system and provide expert guidance. You can reach us by calling 0808 250 9949.
What does a circulation pump do?
A circulation pump is designed to optimise the delivery of hot water by ensuring it reaches taps, radiators, or other outlets efficiently and without delay. This not only enhances comfort by maintaining consistent water temperatures but also reduces water wastage, contributing to better energy efficiency.
Should a hot water circulation pump run all the time?
It is not always necessary for a hot water circulation pump to run continuously. Many modern systems include features like timers, thermostats, or motion sensors that regulate when the pump operates. This ensures the pump works only when hot water is required, promoting energy efficiency and reducing wear on the pump. However, older or simpler systems may lack these controls, resulting in continuous operation. If you are concerned about energy usage or considering improvements, upgrading to a system with smart controls may be a wise investment.
How much does it cost to have a booster pump installed?
The cost of installing a booster pump varies depending on factors such as the pump’s type and size, the complexity of the installation, and whether additional work like plumbing or electrical modifications is required. Larger systems or installations in multi-storey buildings may involve more time and effort. Typically, installation can take several hours to a full day. Costs may also depend on the hourly rate of the service provider.
