Nordstrand 90W Stainless Steel Water Pressure Booster Pump

Good value pump

This pump was fitted to a single kitchen mixer tap that had poor flow from a gravity fed hot water system. The pump transformed the poor flow to perfectly acceptable. The flow switch requires the tap to be turned full on to activate the pump. Anything less and it doesn't activate. Neither does it activate if the cold tap is turned on at the same time, so the tap won't work as a mixer tap.. Sometimes the pump won't activate until the cold is turned on and off again for some reason despite having a check valve fitted in the hot supply.

All sounds a little off putting, but in fact we are quite pleased with it once we got used to the quirks.

The pump is mounted on the rear of the sink cabinet, connected by flexible pipes and is clearly audible in the adjacent room when working but not annoyingly so.

Reliability unknown as it's only been fitted a short while.Read full review

just not powerful enough.

My flat has a cold water tank that is only at head height, so the hot water pressure is very low and isn't enough for a mixer tap. I bought this pump to raise the pressure at my kitchen sink, so that I could use a mixer tap and an instant water heater but it failed to raise the pressure enough to set off the water heater which only required 0.6 Bar to operate. This pump was rated at 1.0 Bar but it didn't reach this pressure at all, so the entire system had to be scrapped.Read full review

Very good pump for the money

This pump was used to for boosting the pressure of the hot water pressure in my bungalow which has very low water pressure on the hot water system due to the storage tank being only 2 ft above the highest tap outlet. The pump sends plenty of water to the taps now and is quite quiet in operation. This is very noticeable as the previous pump was an AC brushed motor and was very noisy. This one, being an induction motor, only produces a low pitched hum.

Not sure why the inlet and outlet of the flow sensor are different sizes or what the supplied adapter is for, but a simple 12mm to 15mm adapter sorted the problem.Read full review

Satisfied

Only real issue concerns the pipe connections which are
of BSP thread but parralel, not tapered (external), and with
un-machined internal bore, so unable to take pipe + olive;
so very difficult to achieve a water tight connection.
In operation, found it impossible to stop the pump from cycling
on & off after kitchen tap turned-off (having followed the good
instructions for dealing with this problem); this is possibly due
to kitchen tap having very small bore supply pipe causing too
much back pressure hence stopping the pump shut-off valve from
operating properly. We now keep pump switched-off except
when running bath/shower. Over-all.........satisfied.......wait to
see what life expectancy will be! G.W.Read full review

Excellent. I always use this brand of pump.

I have used these pumps to boost the hot water pressure in a number of houses. They are simple and reliable and offer excellent value for money. The installation is straightforward and the instruction manual is clear.Read full review

Mmmm

I use the pump to move water from my water butts which it does well the pressure set part does not work as the pressure is to low it states this in the manufacture instructions so can't complain the pump gets really hot with use really hot would not use it in a house Read full review

Seems to work fine.

Wanted a pump to increase flow from the water butts to car wash brush. Works well and has certainly increased pressure. Not really enough for a hard spray but does for a wash off spray. Works well with the brush though. Auto stop works fine. Time will tell in longevity if life.Read full review

easy to fit pump

Fitted two pumps now and works well on both . I used them in blocks of flats where there is a drop in pressure at 2nd floor . Boosted from 2ltrs per min to about 8ltrs a minute.
Would highly recommend.Read full review

Robust Pump

While I have no in service experience of this pump, it appears to be robust with a well-made, of substantial heavy weight design. This is not a flimsy plastic pump. It also comes with a good quality demand valve which can be used (or not) to switch the pump off automatically when not in use.Read full review

needs to made more versatile

I have not yet installed it because I have a limited space to place it. I needed a flow from right to left and it has made finding connections difficult, well as yet I have not found suitable fittings. The design should be change to 4 point assembly fittings to allow the nozzles to be rotated. Looking for fittings it was suggested that the inlet/outlet bores should be to suit a 20 outside diameter tube.
