Showcasing The Power of TankBoost at Grassroots Cricket Club

When Salamander Pumps installed a TankBoost solution to power up the sprinkler system at Littletown Cricket Club in Durham, our Technical Training Manager Richard Bambridge spotted a unique opportunity to showcase its potential.

The club now benefits from a 450L 3.0 bar TankBoost 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 across the entire pitch – more than enough to help keep the pitch ready for a busy schedule.

This installation inherently showcases the potential of Salamander Pumps’ TankBoost range in boosting water flow and pressure to support sports ground maintenance, as detailed in our case study.

However, to further demonstrate the performance of the system, Richard Bambridge also attached a 28mm Polypipe pipe from the unit with a series of six temporary rainfall showers fitted at 25 metre intervals from the clubhouse.

This experiment showed outstanding performance when all six rainfall showers were running simultaneously, including the last shower which was positioned 150 metres from the TankBoost units – way beyond the requirements of any typical domestic property.

Richard Bambridge said: “I knew this system would give strong water pressure and with the space available, it felt like a unique opportunity to prove that. Successfully running rainfall showers at the same time, across 150 metres, goes far beyond what any installer would need to deliver in most properties.”
