‘Clever, compliant and easy to install’: that’s Home Boost!

I’m a patient man, as you know; but there are times when even yours truly comes close to blowing his top.

So here’s a warning, just in case somebody asks me just one more time, if Home Boost is legal. Ask me that and I’ll do one. Flip my lid, have a bluey. I will not be responsible for my actions if I am so provoked. So, lest there be no doubt, repeat after me: ‘Home Boost Is Legal’.

Thank-you.

Just to be clear: it is an offence, under The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, to connect a pump or a booster that draws more than 12 litres per minute to a supply pipe – either directly or indirectly. Home Boost complies with this requirement thanks to an integral microchip that ensures that the 12 litre legal limit cannot be breached via the pump.

‘Simples’, as that annoying meercat would doubtless say.

Home Boost is an intelligent pump; the software built into the unit recognizes increases in mains pressure and flow and automatically reduce its assistance to the incoming mains. The 12 litre limit cannot be breached by the pump. That’s why Home Boost has WRAS approval.

You can install it. It’s OK, nobody will come after you… Except the next customer who needs a Home Boost, obviously.

And now, some light relief.

Mind How You Go!

Fortunately for those thousands of people who are living with the inconvenience of poor water pressure every day, it is completely legal, legit and above board to install Home Boost, from Salamander Pumps. Home Boost complies with water regulations. As I might have mentioned earlier. It is lawful. Full stop.

You can’t get in trouble for installing or using Home Boost!

And, just to help you stay on the straight and narrow, here are some things that really are against the law

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

2. It is an act of treason, punishable by death, to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter

6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman’s helmet

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen

8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls. But only if he’s carrying a bow and arrow. So that’s all right, then.

Happy New Year! HomeBoost’s Up For A Major Award

Happy New Year to All My Readers!

Hope it was a good one for you?

Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Here’s how to tell: an optimist stays up to see the New Year in.  A pessimist waits up to make sure the old one leaves… Do you think that’s why Mrs Malc gets up to wave me off of a morning? To make sure I’m really going?

Hmm.

Although I’m one of life’s optimists, the year started  badly for me, I must admit. I had a doctor’s check up and I was weighed as part of it. Now, the week between Christmas and New Year was never going to be an ideal time for a weight check, was it? I thought it was going well until the doc told me ‘your weight is perfect, you’re just three feet too small.’

Ho-bloody-ho.

Enough of the nonsense already. The great New Year news is that HomeBoost™ has been short-listed for a prestigious national award. Ta’ra! (That’s a fanfare, not a Lancashire way of saying ‘bye’).

Now, much as I’m tempted to say ‘I told you so’… I do feel vindicated though. I’ve been banging on about HomeBoost™ since before its launch. It’s amazing to think that was only four months ago: it’s picked up more press coverage than most plumbing products get in four years. And now it’s up for the Technical Innovation of the Year – Products category of the 2013 Pump Industry Awards. And quite rightly, in Big Malc’s entirely unbiased view.

Why am I not surprised? (Btw, lads, I may not be surprised but I am ‘made up’: in fact, all of us at Salamander are made up with this news!) I’m not surprised because HomeBoost™ has had a fantastic reception in the marketplace. Merchants, installers and end users are all swearing by it, not at it! And no wonder: there have been literally hundreds of enquiries into the office and thousands of web visits in the past first four months since we launched HomeBoost™. What’s even better is our  sales predictions for HomeBoost™ have all been exceeded spectacularly. I mean, ‘shattered’, ‘battered’; ‘decimated’, ‘annihilated’… I’m sure you’re getting the picture.

HomeBoost™: merchants, installers and end users are all swearing by it, not at it!

The good news is that you – that’s YOU, dear reader –  can vote for HomeBoost™ in the PIA. (That’s the Pump Industry Awards, not Pakistan International Airlines).

Voting opens at the end of the week, they tell me, so when that happens I’ll let you know and link to the voting web site from here. Poor long-suffering Mrs Malc is in for a hard time cos I’ll be tweeting and posting like a good ‘un to make sure all you HomeBoost™ fans out there get the chance to have your say.

So  vote, vote, vote!
