Product Overview
Facility teams requiring automated pressure tracking and motor protection specify the Davey Monsoon Light vertical multistage booster package. Equipped with a vertical multistage pump assembly, the unit sustains line pressure stability across demanding plumbing lines. This packaged assembly supplies an integrated booster solution to prevent pressure dropouts across elevated risers.
Engineered for multi-storey vertical distribution, fluid handling capacity peaks at 142 L/min. Across elevated vertical distribution lines, the multistage hydraulic wet end generates up to 111 metres of maximum shut-off head to overcome static elevation losses. Internal impellers and intermediate stage diffusers are manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel to maintain fluid purity and hydraulic efficiency. A hard-faced mechanical seal and reinforced casing construction support operating system pressures up to 25 bar (2,500 kPa PN25).
Power transmission originates from an electric motor designed to withstand demanding plant room heat. Speed regulation is governed by an integrated variable frequency drive controller, continuously matching motor speed to instantaneous draw to stabilize pipeline pressure. The electrical package connects to a 415V supply at 50 Hz drawing a rated current of 4.3 Amps. Pre-plumbed hydraulic connections feature standardized 1-1/4" BSP ports, rated for clean liquid operating temperatures from 0°C to 40°C.
The fully integrated booster skid is mounted on a rigid structural platform. Integrated elastomeric mounts isolate pump vibrations, protecting connected distribution pipework from mechanical stress and acoustic transmission. Engineered and assembled to meet demanding Australasian commercial plumbing standards, the system benefits from comprehensive Davey technical support and readily available nationwide spare parts.
