Installing a TankBoost 450L 3.0 bar System at Littletown Cricket Club

Product: TankBoost 450L 3.0 bar with additional tank and linking kit

System type: Outdoor sprinkler system – sports ground maintenance

Challenge:

Littletown Cricket Club in Durham faces the same challenges as every grassroots sport club – keeping the pitch well maintained and ready for a busy schedule, with limited resource and finances.

Running a sprinkler system to keep the pitch watered from the mains cold water system brought a challenge in itself, with concerns over water flow and pressure – particularly when the sprinkler is positioned away from the water source. At Littletown Cricket Club, the mains alone wasn’t delivering the water flow and pressure needed to run the sprinkler system, particularly for those areas furthest from the incoming mains.

Solution:

After a site inspection, Salamander Pumps installed a TankBoost 450L 3.0 bar system with additional tank and linking kit, giving 900L of combined capacity to support the sprinkler system. This solution gives strong, consistent water pressure and flow up to 3.0 bar and 80 L/min, transforming the sprinkler system so that it is capable of reaching all areas of the pitch.

Results:

This installation showcases the potential of Salamander Pumps’ TankBoost range in boosting water flow and pressure to support sports ground maintenance.

Paul Cassell, Head Groundsmen for Littletown Cricket Club said: “The TankBoost system allows us to keep the pitch maintained throughout the season, with no concerns over water flow or pressure in the clubhouse. It’s a real game-changer. It’s quiet, powerful and does exactly what we need from it, without any impact on taps or showers in the clubhouse.”
