The PM-45A is an electronically controlled, automatic pressure boosting pump that produces an outlet pressure similar to that obtained from the water main. It is surface (dry) mount.

 

A typical application would be to connect it 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 and tap. The pump would be connected to mains power (230Vac). When the stand-pipe tap is opened the pump will automatically start giving a maximum flow of 45 litres per minute or a maximum pressure of 4 bar. 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.

 

The pump could be fitted as a permanent installation or can be used portably for connection to a tank only when required.

 

Inlet: 1” female thread.

Outlet: 1” male thread.

Max flow: 45 litres per minute.

Max pressure: 4 bar.

The unit is 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.
