Sprinkler Boosting System
Pressurecheck® is a factory assembled pressure-boosting system designed to
boost water from the town-main to supply a sprinkler system with the right
pressure.
Taking up roughly two car parking spaces, Pressurecheck® is a very compact
alternative to a pump and tank system. Pressurecheck® works by drawing water
from the town-mains supply to feed a sprinkler system which cannot reliably
meet the minimum pressures required for a specific risk. As Pressurecheck® is
built and fully tested in the factory, it can be delivered and installed quickly with
minimal disruption. Its unique ‘plug & play’ design means that installation time
and overall costs are dramatically reduced.
Meeting the codes
Fire protection regulations specify that sprinkler systems must be supplied at a minimum pressure appropriate to
the fire risk. Any reduction in town main pressure can render a fire protection system non-compliant.
Pressurecheck® boosts the sprinkler system pressure in situations where the towns-mains pressure is unsuitable
and has been designed as an engineering solution to meet code standards*.
*Clause 9.2.2 (BS EN 12845:2003)
Pressurecheck® has WRAS approved backflow prevention system with a reduced pressure zone (RPZ), this means
that it no water that enters the sprinkler system will be able to get back into the drinking water supply.

Note: This is a simplfied illustration of Pressurecheck
Under normal operating conditions the
sprinkler system is supplied via the
town-mains. Route 1 shows water from
the town-mains A passing through the
RPZ B and supplying the sprinkler
system connected at C Should the
town-mains supply drop below the
required
pressure,
route
2
is
automatically initiated. The pump D is
activated, drawing water from the A.V.C.
(Anti Vacuum Chamber) E The town
main then refills the A.V.C. via the high
capacity float valves F .
Pressurecheck is always able to maintain
the correct system operating pressure
even when mains pressure is unreliable.
Space Saving
In an increasingly crowded world, where space is at a premium, space saving solutions are becoming
essential. Not only does Pressurecheck® deliver massive space savings, it also simplifies the projects
planning, installation and commissioning stages.
In most cases, traditional pump and tank solutions often require lengthy installation periods, involving
construction work, extensive planning & co-ordination and costly visits (and re-visits) by electricians,
fitters and tank engineers (etc). Pressurecheck®, however, is pre-built in the factory and arrives fully
pre-wired and tested, ready to be connected to the sprinkler system.
Many of the headaches traditionally associated with contracting can be eradicated by using
Pressurecheck® and because of the off-site nature of the product, we can dramatically reduce the on-site
costs normally caused by snagging issues and complications that invariably crop up. As Pressurecheck® is
built and fully tested off-site, it can be delivered and installed quickly with minimal disruption. Its unique
‘plug & play’ design means that installation time and overall costs are dramatically reduced.

and lower costs
No new building/or pump house is
required giving massive savings in
construction materials, multiple site
visits and building waste. Indoor
installation means that
Pressurecheck® will not require
immersion heaters or trace heating
(power intensive systems
traditionally associated with
external tank and pump solutions).
Reduced life cycle carbon
footprint
Significantly less installation site
visits when compared to traditional
systems. Pressurecheck can be
installed by fewer men and without
the need for multiple contractors
driving to and from the site.
Pressurecheck
The Pressurecheck® unit is fully assembled in the factory, fully tested
and then disassembled into separate sections for delivery to site and
installation in-situ. Each section is designed to neatly fit through a
standard door frame making the Pressurecheck® ideal for buildings
with limited access.
Quality Guaranteed
Every Pressurecheck is fully assembled, wired and tested before it leaves the factory. Assembled
in a tightly controlled manufacturing environment, every model is subjected to a set
programme of stringent quality inspections. The unit is fully air and water tested before arriving
on-site and because all the wiring has been completed in-house, the unit arrives ready for
installation.
Pressurecheck incorporates only LPCB and WRAS compliant components. All the pipes and
components are safely protected and supported by five purpose-built, corrosion resistant steel
frames. Each frame has been coated using a thermoplastic powder to ensure it’s fully protected
to operate in damp or hazardous environments.
Modular Design
Pressurecheck’s smart design enables the unit to be disassembled into small sections capable
of fitting through a single door frame. This makes it ideal for existing buildings with limited
access. When in position, the sections can be easily re-assembled and connected up ready for
commissioning.
