Wilo-PB

Safe and stable pressure boosting for the residential environment.

The Wilo-PB is a non-self-priming, single-stage centrifugal pump for automatic water supply and pressure boosting. It is suitable for the descending installation of roof-mounted water tanks (e.g. elevated tanks) to the extraction points of the water supply below in semi-detached/detached houses. It is the ideal pump for low or fluctuating water pressure within public water supply networks. Thanks to automatic mode, it always ensures stable water pressure.

Description

The Wilo-PB Pressure Booster is a specialized pump system designed to enhance water pressure in domestic, commercial, and industrial water supply systems. It is part of Wilo’s range of pumps that focus on improving water flow and ensuring consistent pressure in applications where water supply pressure is insufficient or needs to be regulated.

Key Features of Wilo-PB Pressure Booster:

  1. Functionality & Purpose:
    • The Wilo-PB Pressure Booster is primarily used to increase water pressure in systems that need a steady and reliable flow of water. This includes areas where the water supply pressure is low, or in systems with multiple outlets requiring higher pressure.
    • It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial water supply systems to maintain consistent water pressure, especially in multi-story buildings, large homes, factories, and irrigation systems.
  2. Design & Construction:
    • The Wilo-PB system is typically a compact, robust unit that integrates both a pump and a pressure tank, designed for easy installation and efficient operation.
    • Corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or high-grade polymers are used for construction to ensure the system is durable, especially when exposed to water over extended periods.
    • Multistage pump design: The pump often features a multistage impeller system to achieve the desired pressure and flow rate, which is important for handling high-pressure requirements in water systems.
  3. Motor & Efficiency:
    • The motor in the Wilo-PB Pressure Booster is energy-efficient and designed to provide reliable, high-performance operation.
    • The system typically uses a variable frequency drive (VFD) or a pressure switch to regulate the motor’s speed and optimize energy consumption. This ensures that energy is only used when needed, making it an efficient solution.
    • The system is designed for quiet operation to minimize noise, especially in residential or commercial applications where noise could be a concern.
  4. Automatic Pressure Regulation:
    • The Wilo-PB is designed with automatic pressure regulation to maintain a consistent water pressure, regardless of demand fluctuations. This feature is crucial for applications such as irrigation or multi-story building water supply, where water pressure can vary throughout the day.
  5. Applications:
    • Residential Use: It is used in homes, especially in buildings with multiple floors or areas where the water supply pressure is not sufficient for efficient operation of showers, taps, or other water fixtures.
    • Commercial & Industrial Use: For businesses, offices, and factories where consistent water pressure is required for various operations, the Wilo-PB can ensure smooth operations by boosting water supply.
    • Irrigation: In agricultural setups where irrigation requires higher water pressure to reach all areas, this pump can maintain an adequate supply for sprinklers or drip irrigation systems.
  6. Durability & Maintenance:
    • The Wilo-PB Pressure Booster is built for long-term performance, with durable components that can withstand prolonged usage in demanding environments.
    • Regular maintenance is generally minimal, as the system is self-regulating, but periodic checks of the motor, pump, and pressure tank are recommended to ensure optimal functioning.
    • Compact and easy installation: Its user-friendly design allows for straightforward installation, which can be done without extensive modifications to existing water systems.
  7. Safety Features:
    • Dry-run protection: Many versions of the Wilo-PB are equipped with dry-run protection, ensuring that the pump shuts down automatically if there is no water in the system, preventing damage.
    • Pressure relief valve: A built-in pressure relief valve ensures that the system doesn’t operate under excessive pressure, protecting both the pump and the system from overloading.

Advantages of Wilo-PB Pressure Booster:

  • Improved water pressure: The system boosts pressure to ensure a consistent flow, even in high-demand situations.
  • Energy-efficient operation: The inclusion of technologies like variable frequency drives (VFD) or pressure sensors ensures the system is only operating when necessary, saving on electricity costs.
  • Long-lasting performance: Built with durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the Wilo-PB can handle prolonged use in various environments.
  • Easy to install: The compact design and integrated system make it simple to install and set up in existing water systems.

Conclusion:

The Wilo-PB Pressure Booster is a versatile, efficient solution designed to boost water pressure in systems with low or inconsistent supply. Whether in residential, commercial, or industrial applications, the Wilo-PB ensures that water pressure remains stable and reliable for various tasks, such as daily water use, irrigation, or industrial processes. With its energy-efficient design, automatic pressure regulation, and durable construction, it is a reliable choice for boosting water pressure in any system that requires it.
