What is a caravan and boat booster pump?
Caravan and boat booster pumps are automatic pumps that run on 12 V or 24 V and deliver water from the clean water tank to the taps, shower, and toilet inside the vehicle under pressure. Thanks to the built-in pressure switch, the pump starts when a tap is opened and stops when it is closed. Their compact and lightweight design makes them easy to install in tight spaces.
Category contents
- Automatic 12 V booster pumps: For the clean water system in caravans and boats.
- Tank-type booster pumps: Provides steadier water flow with a small pressure tank.
- Accumulator (pressure) tanks: Reduces frequent pump cycling and pulsating flow.
- Portable tank shower sets: Practical solutions for camping, beach, and garden use.
- Air conditioning maintenance sets: With a tank and pump for washing air conditioning indoor units.
Selection criteria
The pump voltage must match the battery system of the vehicle or boat. Flow rate (L/min) is selected based on the number of taps and showers used simultaneously; a higher flow rate provides a more comfortable shower but increases battery consumption. The pressure value must deliver adequate pressure to all points of use. Quiet operation is an important criterion, especially for caravans used at night.
Installation recommendations
The pump should be mounted close to the tank and, if possible, near the tank's water level, on vibration-dampening mounts. Installing a pre-filter on the suction line protects the pump's valves and diaphragm from dirt. Flexible hose connections reduce the transmission of vibration to the vehicle body. An accumulator tank can be connected to the pump outlet to reduce pressure fluctuations. An appropriate fuse must be used for the electrical connection.
Maintenance
In winter, the system should be drained and no water left inside the pump. The pre-filter should be cleaned regularly. The pump running on its own while the tap is closed may indicate a leak somewhere in the system.
Frequently asked questions
Is an accumulator tank necessary?
It is not mandatory, but it allows the pump to run less frequently and provides steadier water flow.
Does the booster pump drain the battery quickly?
Since it only runs when water is being used, its consumption depends on the duration of use.
Can it be used with a hot water system?
The pump is generally connected to the cold water line and also feeds the water heater.
How does a portable shower set work?
It delivers water from its tank to the shower head via a small pump, providing a convenient shower solution.
How can the noise of a caravan booster pump be reduced?
Mount it on vibration-dampening mounts and use flexible hoses.
Where can I find higher-capacity models?
For other options, you can browse 12 V and 24 V booster pumps.
