The Monitor Booster Station is an economical and safe solution for increasing water line pressure or filling water storage tanks. The Monitor in-line Pitless Booster houses a submersible pump and motor below ground in the low pressure suction tank reservoir. The unique design eliminates the need for a costly pump house and removes the hazard of confined space entry. With the submersible electric motor located below grade, unwelcoming motor noise has been eliminated.

The Monitor Booster Station is custom designed for each application. Simplex stations can accommodate flows ranging from as little as 5 gallons per minute to large flow rates of 5000 gallons per minute. Duplex stations add redundancy where required by code or additional flow capacity is desired. Additional pitless boosters can be added as needed to accommodate flows rates as high as 30 million gallons per day.

Our Monitor Booster Stations are controlled by intelligently designed Variable Frequency Drive control systems. We utilized custom designed Ladder Logic control software to virtually eliminate the problem of water hammer and offer the smoothest pump operation in the industry.

The Monitor Pitless Booster Stations are scalable for future needs. An established system can be upgraded by increasing the pump size and reprogramming the controls. This offers our customers the option to meet future water pressure and volume requirements, without having to invest in a new booster system.

Watertight Seal Cap

Designed to prevent surface contaminants from entering the upper casing portion of the pitless booster, the Watertight Seal Cap is the only visible, above grade, portion of the unit. Optional locking feature are available for upper casing sizes 10” and above

In-Line Pitless Booster

The Monitor In-Line Pitless Booster is a unique piece of equipment for housing a submersible pumps. Access to the pump and motor is achieved by removing the seal cap, loosening the hold-down assembly and lifting the inner assembly (lift-out bail, spool, and submersible pump). There is no confined space entry as the unit is completely serviceable from above grade. Because the motor is located below grade, motor noise is virtually eliminated.

Spool / Discharge Body

The spool is the connection and turning point for the high pressure water coming from the submersible pump. Two O-rings seal the high pressure water within finely machined O-ring lands. Tappings located on the top side of the spool allow access to the suction and discharge pressure. Pressure transducers, located on the top of the spool, allow for continuous pressure readings in constant pressure applications. Pump wires are sealed using high pressure wire grommets.

Did You Know? Monitor Water Systems also carries a full line of residential products.

Monitor offers fully functional, factory tested, UL approved, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and Constant Speed, Control Panels. Our control panels are custom designed and built to suit each project. The difference is in the control software. Our VFD control panels utilizing Programmable Logic Controllers are distinctly different than most control panels in that we use custom designed Ladder Logic Control Software for better overall station performance, less wear on the pumps and motors, and virtual elimination (with exception of a power failure) of water hammer. Each control panel can be customized to display information and readouts important to the customer. If you can describe it, we can program it into our control panels.
