The MCX range of electronically controlled, automatic pressure boosting pumps produces an outlet pressure similar to that obtained from the water main. They are surface (dry) mount pumps.
A typical application would be to connect one externally to a rainwater storage tank. A pipe connection to the pump’s inlet would be made from the tank’s outlet connection point or valve / tap at the base of the tank.
Pipe from the pump’s outlet could be connected to an irrigation system or to a stand pipe with a tap. The pump would be connected to mains power (230Vac). When the stand-pipe tap is opened the pump will automatically start and when the stand-pipe tap is closed the pump will automatically switch off in 6 to 8 seconds. It also has a dry run protection feature,
which switches the pump off if no water is available from the storage tank.
These pumps can be fitted as a permanent installation or can be used portably for connection to a tank only when required.
These units are supplied complete with 1m of 1” suction hose, hose couplings, clips and a 1” valve to be fitted to the storage tank outlet.
Suitable for:
- Boosting water pressure from an outlet at the base of a water butt or storage tank.
- Providing pressurised water to a hose, stand pipe or irrigation system.
Not suitable for:
- Drawing water out through the top of a water butt or underground storage tank.
