Description
BWD Variable Speed Booster Pump – 1.2kW & 2.2kW
Enjoy Consistent Water Pressure with Smarter, Energy-Efficient Pumping
Tired of your water pressure dropping when someone opens another tap? The BWD Variable Speed Booster Pump is designed to keep your water pressure steady while helping reduce unnecessary electricity consumption.
Available in 1.2kW and 2.2kW options, this intelligent water pressure booster pump uses Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology to automatically adjust its motor speed according to your water demand.
Instead of running at full speed all the time, the pump works harder when more water is needed and slows down when demand decreases.
Whether you're boosting water pressure in your home, supplying water to multiple outlets or managing a clean-water irrigation system, the BWD VSD Booster Pump provides reliable, automatic pressure control.
Why You'll Love It
-
Constant Water Pressure: Automatically adjusts pump speed to help maintain steady pressure, even when multiple taps are being used.
-
Energy-Efficient VSD Technology: Uses power according to water demand, helping reduce unnecessary electricity consumption.
-
Two Power Options: Available in 1.2kW and 2.2kW to suit different water supply requirements.
-
Automatic Start & Stop: Responds to changes in water demand without manual switching.
-
Quiet Operation: Designed for low-noise performance.
-
Built-In Pressure Transducer: Continuously monitors pressure to help maintain a consistent water supply.
-
Plug & Play Design: Supplied pre-wired with a three-pin plug for convenient installation.
-
Dry-Run Protection: Helps protect the pump when the water supply is insufficient.
-
Multiple Motor Protection Features: Includes protection against electrical and pressure-related operating faults.
-
Restart Delay Protection: A 3-second delay between restarts helps reduce unnecessary motor stress.
-
Automatic Bearing Rotation: Periodically activates the pump to help maintain internal moving components.
-
Wide Water Temperature Range: Suitable for compatible water applications between 2°C and 80°C.
Say Goodbye to Fluctuating Water Pressure
Traditional fixed-speed booster pumps operate at a set speed, regardless of how much water your system needs.
This can lead to unnecessary energy consumption and noticeable pressure changes when several outlets are being used.
The BWD Variable Speed Booster Pump works differently.
Its built-in pressure transducer monitors your water pressure, while the variable speed drive adjusts the motor speed to match demand.
For example:
-
One Tap Running: The pump can operate at a lower speed to meet the reduced water demand.
-
Multiple Taps Running: The pump increases its speed to help maintain pressure.
-
Changing Water Demand: The pump continuously adjusts its performance to suit the system.
-
No Water Demand: The pump automatically stops according to its control settings.
The result is a more comfortable and consistent water supply throughout your home or water distribution system.
Smarter Energy Consumption
One of the biggest advantages of a VSD water pressure booster pump is its ability to adjust energy use according to demand.
Instead of operating at full speed whenever water is required, the BWD pump adjusts its output to match the amount of water being used.
Depending on the application and operating conditions, this can lead to significant electricity savings compared with conventional fixed-speed pump systems.
The BWD range is advertised as offering up to 80% energy savings in suitable applications.
Actual savings will depend on your water usage, system design and the pump being replaced.

Ideal Applications
The BWD VSD Booster Pump is suitable for a range of clean-water applications, including:
-
Residential Water Pressure Boosting: Help maintain steady water pressure throughout your home.
-
Multiple-Tap Water Systems: Improve pressure stability when several outlets are operating.
-
Domestic Water Supply: Provide automatic pressure control for suitable household water systems.
-
Water Storage Tank Systems: Boost pressure from compatible clean-water storage installations.
-
Irrigation Networks: Maintain controlled water pressure in suitable irrigation systems.
-
Potable Water Systems: Suitable for compatible drinking-water applications, subject to installation and material requirements.
-
Non-Potable Water Systems: Provide pressure boosting for suitable clean-water applications.
Advanced Protection for Your Pump
The BWD Variable Speed Booster Pump includes several built-in protection features designed to help safeguard the pump and motor.
These include:
-
Dry-Run Protection: Helps prevent damage when the pump operates without sufficient water.
-
Over-Current Protection: Protects against excessive electrical current.
-
Over-Voltage Protection: Responds to voltage levels above the permitted operating range.
-
Under-Voltage Protection: Helps protect the motor when the electrical supply is too low.
-
Overload Protection: Helps prevent damage caused by excessive operating loads.
-
Abnormal-Pressure Protection: Monitors for pressure conditions outside normal operation.
-
Restart Delay: Provides a 3-second delay between restarts to help reduce excessive cycling.
These functions help support reliable operation and reduce the risk of damage caused by unsuitable operating conditions.
Automatic Bearing Rotation
The BWD pump also features an automatic bearing rotation function.
A pre-set timer periodically activates the pump to rotate its internal components, helping reduce the risk of components remaining stationary for extended periods.
This is particularly useful in systems where the pump may not be used regularly.
