Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps

Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps fix one problem: water that reaches the tap with nothing behind it. Every pump on this page carries a live price and an add to cart button, not a quote form. We are Pumptastic, based at 7 Hampton St, Greenfields in the Peel region of Western Australia, and we ship Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps to homeowners, plumbers, builders and site managers across WA and the rest of the country. If you already know your flow and pressure, buy below. If you do not, call (08) 6384 5884 and talk to someone who sizes these pumps every week. We would rather spend ten minutes on the phone than have you freight back the wrong unit.

How to Choose Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps for Your Property

Rainwater tanks, garden bores and shallow wells

If the pump sits above the water level, you need self priming. The SCALA1, SCALA2 and CMB-SP all self prime and will lift from a tank or shallow well without you nursing the prime every time it loses water. SCALA2 handles up to 8 metres of suction lift. Self priming Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps are the most common setup we ship in WA, and this is where the wrong choice hurts most. A non self priming pump on a below grade tank will air lock, run dry and trip out, and you will blame the pump.

Two storey homes and long pipe runs

Height and distance both cost you pressure. Every metre the water climbs takes about 10 kPa off what arrives at the shower head, and a long poly run takes more again through friction. A two storey home in Baldivis with the tank at the wall may need less pump than a single storey block in Serpentine with the tank 60 metres away. Variable speed Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps like the SCALA2 and CMBE suit these jobs because they lift output as demand climbs instead of holding one fixed duty point.

Commercial, strata and multi dwelling sites

Apartment blocks, small hotels, packing sheds, wash down bays and market gardens need duty that does not stop, which is where the commercial end of the Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps range earns its price. CMBE TWIN puts two variable speed pumps on a shared manifold so one covers if the other faults, and both share the load at peak. If your duty point sits above what a twin CMBE will hold, step up to our Grundfos vertical multistage pumps or a packaged Grundfos booster set.

The Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps Range Stocked at Pumptastic

SCALA1 and SCALA2

The SCALA range is the simplest entry into Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps. Both are all in one units with the motor, tank, sensor and non return valve in one housing, so installation is a plumbing job rather than an assembly job. SCALA1 runs at fixed speed with Bluetooth through the Grundfos GO app. The SCALA2 3-45 adds inverter control and holds steady pressure when two showers run at once. It also runs at roughly 47 dB(A) in normal use, quieter than a dishwasher, which matters when the pump sits against a bedroom wall or on a shared boundary. Also see the SCALA1 3-35 and SCALA1 5-55.

CMB and CMB-SP

CMB units pair a multistage centrifugal pump with a PM1 or PM2 pressure manager and AISI 304 stainless impellers. CMB-SP adds self priming and a 304 stainless build. These are the workhorses of the Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps range: simple, serviceable, and easy to get parts for in five years. If you already have a bladder tank in place, a CMB is often a cleaner fit than an all in one. We stock seven CMB-SP sizes, from the CMB-SP 1-36 up to the CMB-SP 5-47, plus the full Grundfos CMB booster range.

CMBE and CMBE TWIN

CMBE is the variable speed version with an integrated drive and a 2 L pressure tank. It reads demand and adjusts, which cuts running cost on sites where the pump cycles all day rather than in short bursts, and it is the most efficient option among the Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps on this page. The CMBE 3-62 is the volume seller for larger homes; the CMBE TWIN 3-62 is where commercial buyers land.

JP jet pumps and PM START booster sets

The JP is a self priming single stage centrifugal jet pump. Sold bare it works as a transfer and light pressure pump. Sold as a JP 4-47 PM START it arrives as a complete booster set with the pressure manager fitted. JP models suit rainwater tanks, sheds and garden supply. They sit at the value end of the Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps range and they sell hard through the Wheatbelt and South West, where a simple repairable pump beats a clever one.

Installing Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps: Check These First

Plumbing work connected to a potable supply is licensed work in Western Australia, and hardwired units need a licensed electrician. Most SCALA and JP units plug into a standard outlet, which keeps the job simpler than the hardwired Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps further up the range.

Before you boost off a scheme main, check with your water utility. Drawing directly from the main is restricted in many areas, and the usual answer is to fill a break tank and boost from that instead. Grundfos gives the same advice in its own training material. Fit a pressure tank unless the pump has one built in, and set the pre-charge to roughly 10 percent below cut in pressure. A pump that cycles every few seconds will not see out its warranty. We stock matched pressure tanks, pump controllers, pressure transducers and Grundfos spare parts. One WA specific tip. Pumps that sit dry through the winter sprinkler ban can seize or lose prime by September. Run the unit for a few minutes once a month across winter. It uses almost no water and it saves a call out.

Why Buy Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps From Pumptastic

We publish prices. Most of the Australian sites selling this range hide theirs behind a quote form or an enquiry button, which works for them and costs you an afternoon. We list every model individually with its Grundfos product number instead of burying six sizes in one dropdown, so you can compare like for like before you buy. We hold over 3,000 pumps and parts, keep the popular Grundfos Pressure Boosting Pumps moving, and ship Australia wide with free freight on orders over $100. We are a real business in the Peel region with a phone answered by a person Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. If you need a bore pump instead of a surface unit, see our Grundfos SQ and SQE and Grundfos SP ranges, or browse every Grundfos pump we carry. Add your pump to the cart today, or call (08) 6384 5884 first.
