Cat 5 pump sets have two main uses – they help to provide category 5 compliance with the Water Regulations (the Act of Parliament that governs what you can connect to your water supply) by using a break tank with a weir; they also act as a Cat 5 booster set to provide a constant pressure, which is very useful when running pop-up sprinklers or propagation nozzles.
Cat 5 pump set design
The storage tank has a type ‘AB’ air gap to comply with category 5 of the Water Regulations. A range of pumps are available, depending on the flow and pressure requirements. The ‘AB’ air gap has an overflow weir to provide ‘back flow’ protection, creating an air gap between the maximum water level in the tank and the bottom of the inlet ball valve. This eliminates the possibility of the water in the irrigation system travelling backwards into the mains drinking water system and contaminating it.
Cat 5 pump sets with break tanks are normally specified for water uses that can be harmful to human health such as irrigation systems, abattoirs, farm wash down and dental practices.
Once the water has dropped into the storage tank it is at atmospheric pressure. To boost the pressure an electric pump is added. A range of pumps are available depending on the flows and pressures needed for the particular application.
With all the assembly work done in our factory, connecting the Cat 5 pump set up is simple.
