The ShowerPowerBooster is a great little pump to boost the temperature in radiators which are not getting hot without replacing the main central heating pump or redesigning the whole system. In many homes radiators are not working because of air locks and the WrightChoice Radiator booster will solve this problem.
Our pumps are designed to work in very aggressive environments and we tested our pumps to 8 bars pressure. The working pressure is 85 degrees centigrade at 4 bar, they will not cavitate, burn out, our pumps can pump against closed valves, run dry, work 24/7 if needed, they use just 4 watts of power, and they are more efficient than any recirculation pump designed for pumping central heating water.
The V1 version comes with a filter to stop the pumps jamming but if ever you did need to fix a jammed pump the pumps can be easily serviced by cleaning the filter or by simply unscrewing the motor barrel and screwing it back again.
Technical Requirements
Pump Output
A shower power booster can pump more water than your central heating circulation pump so if you let it run full out there is a danger that the radiators that never get hot get too hot and others go cold. A cheap 1/4 turn valve will allow you to perfectly balance your system.
Clearing Air Lock
Our pumps are brilliant for clearing air locks and after you fit them you will often find that the air lock will clear and the system works without the pump. Air will accumulate and will collect again so do not take the pump out.
Where to fit the pump
Fit the pump either on the pipe upstream of the pipe downstream of the radiator or radiator you which to boost.
Fitting the pump upstream is better but only if there is an obstruction in the radiator.
How to control the pump
1.0 Simply plug and unplug the transformer.
2.0 Add a Radio timer
3.0 Connect it to the power supply to the existing central heating pump so it turns off and on at the same time.
4.0 Use a standard room stat so the pump only comes on when required.
The choice of how you control your pump will be whatever suites your situation.
Radiator Boosters are the perfect solution for making the end of run radiator or group of radiators or group of radiators on a ‘lazy’ leg which never runs hot, run hot.
They can be used for extending the central heating systems to a newly built extension.
There are 2 radiator boosters to choose from:-
V1 – For 22mm & 15mm on line.
V2 – Fits to a radiator in place of the lock shield valve on the radiator
Detailed drawings and instructions are in the booklet sent with the pumps but you can download the online version of this guide using the orange link on this page.
