Pressure Booster Pumps
FW0154

Description
Pressure booster pumps increase water pressure from city mains or private water systems. Applications include providing high water pressure for washing buildings, dairy
walls or floors, hog parlors, poultry houses, rinsing or spray cooling equipment, lawn
sprinkling and insecticide spraying. Stainless steel models can handle salt-water and
contaminated water in reverse osmosis filter and other aggressive water applications.
Unpacking
When unpacking the unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may have
occurred during transit.
NOTE: Use pump with clear water
only.
Single-phase models are equipped with a capacitor start, thermal protected motor.
Three-phase models require separate overload protection.

60 Hz Motor Driven Pump Dimensions (See Figure 1) • Chart A
(*) NOTE: Figure 1, holes in mounting base are open slotted 3/8” wide x 1/2” long; dimension A & B are centerline from these
open slotted holes. These holes are suitable for 1/4 to 3/8” bolts.
Dimensions also apply to three phase models.
(†) Equipped with carrying handle. 132079 handle available as an option on other models. Add 1-3/8” to “G” if handle is included.
† Example: If PB0508A031 pump is connected to supply line of sufficient capacity, carrying water at 40 PSI, and the output of the pump is held to 7.3 GPM by a
gate valve, the pump will add 40 PSI to line pressure for a total output pressure of 80 PSI.
* Operation of pump in this range may result in reduced pump life and/or motor damage.
To keep pump and seal lubricated, a minimum flow of 1.5 GPM must always be maintained through the pump.
Motor voltage: Single Phase 1/3 - 2 HP - 115/230; 3 HP - 230V 60 Hz.
Three Phase 1/2 - 2 HP - 208-230/460, 50/60Hz.
Three Phase 3 HP - 208-230/460, 60 HZ
For three phase models, use suffix “3” on the model no. Example: PB0512A053

General Safety Information
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in
this manual and on pump. Keep safety labels in good
condition. Replace missing or damaged safety labels.

age and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative
or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s) should be used.
1. Locate pump as close to the fluid source as possible, keeping the inlet pipe short as possible.
2. Place unit where the pump and piping are protected from
the weather and extremes of heat, humidity and below
freezing temperatures.
3. Mount unit in a dry location that is easily accessible for
inspection and maintenance. If a dry location is not available, mount it on a foundation well above the wet floor.
4. Allow ample clearance around unit for free air circulation.
SUCTION LIMITATIONS
1. Units are non self-priming.
2. Pressure booster pumps are not recommended for suction
lift applications.
PIPING
1. Use galvanized piping, rigid plastic or other suitable pipe
that will not collapse under suction or rupture due to pressure.
forced industrial type that is rated higher than the shutoff
pressure of the system. Ordinary garden hose will collapse
and starve the pump of water.
2. The diameter of the inlet and discharge pipe should be
no smaller than the corresponding ports of the pump (See
Figure 1). Smaller pipe will reduce the capacity of the
pump. Increase pipe size on long runs.
3. Avoid air pockets in inlet piping or air will accumulate at
high points, making priming difficult.
4. Use pipe compound on all joints and connections. Use
Teflon tape or plastic joint stik, on plastic pipe. Draw all
pipe up tightly.
IMPORTANT: The entire system must be air and water tight
for efficient/proper operation.

4. Whenever dirt, sand or debris is
present in the supply water, install a
strainer or filter on the inlet side of
the pump (See Figure 7).
NOTE: For heavy amounts of sediment, install a trap filter on the inlet
side of the pump (See Figure 5).
NOTE: Pressure gauges installed
before and after the filter will show
pressure differential indicating the
need for filter replacement or cleaning.
