BOOSTER PUMP CONTROLLERS

Booster pump controllers are installed to automatically SIMPLEX - DUPLEX - TRIPLEX
start and stop pump motor(s) on system demand in order
to maintain a constant pressure in a pressurized water
supply system. System demand can be detected by
pressure (standard) or current sensing (option).
The completely assembled and wired controllers are

factory tested before shipping. All components used in
Tornatech booster pump controllers are CSA listed and
UL approved.
Tornatech favors fuseless motor protection for easy field

maintenance.
