CAT5 booster sets
Backflow protection built in
Category 5 applications require total separation between the water supply and potential contaminants. Our CAT5 booster sets combine a break tank, AB air gap and pump in a single compliant unit.
CAT5 backflow prevention
Compliance without compromise
UK water regulations prohibit direct hosepipe connections in commercial washdown areas. If mains pressure drops, contaminated water can be siphoned back into the clean supply.
Our CAT5 booster sets solve this with a physical air gap between inlet and tank. Water enters the break tank, the AB air gap prevents backflow, and the pump delivers pressurised water to the point of use. Complete separation, fully compliant.
CAT5 applications

CAT5 protection is mandatory wherever water may contact serious contaminants — pathogens, toxic substances, or hazardous materials.
Bin washdown and waste handling areas. Food processing and butchery facilities. Laboratories and healthcare environments. Mortuaries and veterinary surgeries. Farm washdown areas. Hospitals, schools and care homes.
