A RELIABLE RECLAIMED
WATER SUPPLY.
A glance at the latest water bill will show that drinking
water is becoming more and more expensive. So why
not use low-cost water from alternative sources?
Booster pumps from Kärcher offer the right solution
for every purpose. Rainwater and groundwater are
best used in the washing machine, for flushing the WC
and for watering the garden.
The result: a reliable processed water supply – and a
good feeling.

PRACTICAL FINDING THE RIGHT PUMP.

APPLICATION TIPS. The pump curves in the diagrams show the relationship between flow
rate (horizontal axis) and delivery height (vertical axis). The flow rate
varies according to the delivery height (height difference between water
level and hose end/water outlet). In principle: the flow rate falls as the
delivery height increases. The pump curves are based on theoretically
calculated values which are highly dependent on the length and diameter
of the hose used or of the pipework.
