Project Overview

MYWATER was appointed to design, supply, and commission a replacement booster set for Applebee Care Home in Liverpool. The existing system had become increasingly inefficient and unreliable, leading to inconsistent water pressure and maintenance issues that affected day-to-day operations within the facility.

The brief was to provide a modern, energy-efficient twin pump booster solution capable of delivering consistent water pressure throughout the building, ensuring reliable operation across all resident rooms, kitchens, and service areas while maintaining a quiet and efficient system suitable for a care environment.

Key Project Facts

Location: Applebee Carehome, 173 Roughwood Dr, Liverpool L33 8YR
Building Type: Care Home
Product installed: MYBOOST-2V-CRIE15-3- 400-8
Application: Water pressure boosting
Commissioned by: MYWATER

The Challenge

The previous booster set was no longer performing effectively, resulting in fluctuating pressure and noise issues that impacted both staff and residents. Regular maintenance requirements and parts replacements were adding unnecessary costs and downtime. Given the care home’s continuous operational needs, installation time and disruption needed to be kept to a minimum. The system also needed to be quiet and compact to suit the limited plant room space while ensuring reliability for daily hot and cold water use across the building.

Our Solution

Following a detailed site assessment, MYWATER supplied and commissioned a MYBOOST-2V-CRIE15-3-400-8 twin pump vertical booster set from the trusted MYBOOST range. The new system was chosen for its efficiency, compact design, and ease of maintenance, ideal for the care home’s plant room setup.

The Grundfos CRIE variable-speed pumps provide smooth, demand-based pressure control, improving water flow consistency and overall comfort throughout the building. With stainless-steel manifolds, durable components, and a simple control interface, the new system delivers long-term reliability and low maintenance
operation.
