Pressure booster sets - fixed speed with multiple pumps
Where demand is higher or variable, a dual pump system is used and conventionally this has been operated using a pressure set providing on/off control using pressure switches, with a vessel to provide some storage.
The switching pressures are set so that if one pump fails to meet demand the second pump will start and they can be used us duty/standy, where only one pump operates at any one time alternating to even wear, or duty/assist where two pumps are used if demand is high.
Larger units with more than two pumps can be assembled to meet demand.
We offer these systems with a variety of pumps.
Pressure booster sets - variable speed single pump
Advantages of a variable speed booster set:
- Energy saving
- Constant pressure system
- Reduced noise levels
- More precise motor protection
- Reduced start-up load in pump and motor
- Reduced water hammer
- Reduced wear on pumps
- Calculation of running costs
- Less disruption to power supplies
Our range of booster set with inverter control to provide a constant pressure system.
Control options:
Penstar variable speed drive package can be added to one of our standard pumps.
All our variable speed drive sets are complete with pressure transducer, pressure gauge, expansion vessel and non-return valve.
We can also offer Lowara Teknospeed units that use a built-in inverter drive to provide a compact unit although these are not shown below and are more expensive than one of our equivalent pump sets.

Pressure booster sets - dual pumps
Penstar manufacture a range of dual pump booster sets to provide security of supply, meeting variable water demand.
All our booster sets are mounted on a base plate with suction and discharge manifolds, controls and 24 litre pressure vessel(s).
Where indicated *, an additional pressure vessel is recommended to prevent the pumps switching on and off too frequently.
The kits are available with 2 control types:
Standard panel:
Conventional on/off control with automatic pump sequencing and alarm functions.
Inverter drive:
Variable speed pump operation to provide a constant system pressure with automatic pump sequencing and alarm functions.
Optional:
We can supply the standard and inverter drive systems with a pager unit to provide a text message in the event of an alarm condition.

Pressure booster sets - variable speed multiple pumps
Features of a variable speed dual booster set:
- Automatic pump change over in duty/assisty mode
- Indication of operating and fault conditions on liquid crystal display
- Easy pressure adjustment
- Maximum pump run time to prevent pump damage if there is a fault
- Low pressure alarm
- Low supply tank level alarm and shut-off
- Low motor operation temperature
- Audible, visual or optional text alert
- Continuous audible alarm followed by adjustable intermittent bursts
- Alarm reset same time of day
- Dual or triple pump set-up
Considerable savings can be achieved if variable speed dual and larger units are used when the demand on the system is variable, eg in a holiday or residential complex.
The pressure transducer will measure the system pressure and increase the operating speed of the pump to meet demand. When the first pump reaches maximum speed the second will start and build up speed as required to maintain the pressure.
Penstar special optional features:
- Easily adapted to more than one pressure set point
- Reduced pressure at night to reduce valve noise
- Adible alarm inhibited during silent hours
- Anti-condensation heating for the pump motors
- High temperature trip
- Remote alarm by text message
- Remote monitoring using internet
