Key Features – Flotec FP5722 Booster Pump
Cast Iron Construction
The heavy-duty cast iron pump adapter and discharge ensure long-term durability and corrosion resistance.
Dual-Voltage Motor
Ships factory-preset for 230V operation but can be easily rewired for 115V service, offering electrical installation flexibility.
Portable Design
A convenient carrying handle makes this powerful pump easy to move and position wherever high-pressure water is needed.
8-Stage High-Efficiency Pump
The multi-stage design provides strong, consistent pressure, making it an ideal high-pressure water booster pump 3/4 hp model for demanding jobs.
Self-Lubricating Seal
The mechanical shaft seal is self-lubricating, requiring no regular adjustment or maintenance.
Performance Overview
This 3/4 hp booster pump is engineered to provide strong performance and superior pressure. It is designed to boost water pressure from a city main or private water system, maintaining a flow rate of up to 13 GPM. The booster pump's performance is optimized when the inlet line is short, with a recommended size of 1" to minimize friction losses. It is important to maintain at least 2 PSI of inlet pressure during operation.
Common Applications
High-pressure washdowns for barns and dairy parlors
Cleaning garage floors and driveways
Residential irrigation systems
Boosting pressure from city water mains
Increasing pressure from private water systems
Tank pressurization
Fire protection
Important Use Notes
This pump is non-submersible. The motor must be kept dry at all times.
Do not operate the pump with the discharge shut off to avoid damage from high temperatures.
Only use trigger guns with an automatic weeping feature. Do not use standard trigger guns.
Do not run the pump dry, as this can damage the internal seal.
The maximum water temperature for operation is 175°F.
Ensure the motor is properly grounded before connecting to the power supply.
Maximum inlet pressure must not exceed 80 PSI.
Pressure Tanks and Booster Pumps: A Powerful Combination
Pressure tanks and booster pumps are often used together in water systems to ensure a consistent and reliable water supply.
A pressure tank stores pressurized water and helps maintain a steady flow even when the pump is not running, reducing pump cycling and wear.
A booster pump increases water pressure to overcome elevation changes or higher demand within the system.

FAQs
Can this pump be used with a standard garden hose?
No. You must use a high-pressure reinforced hose. A standard garden hose will not withstand the discharge pressure and may fail.
Is this pump difficult to install?
The Flotec FP5722 is portable and connects with standard 3/4" or 1" high-pressure hoses and fittings, making setup straightforward for temporary use or permanent installation.
Does the motor require lubrication?
No, it is not necessary to lubricate the pump or motor. The motor has sealed ball bearings lubricated for life, and the shaft seal is self-lubricating.
Can I change the voltage from 230V to 115V?
Yes, the dual-voltage motor is factory-set to 230V but includes clear instructions for changing the setting to 115V if needed. Always disconnect power before making electrical changes.
What is the maximum water pressure this pump can handle at the inlet?
The maximum inlet pressure for this pump is 80 PSI. Exceeding this limit will void the warranty and may cause damage.
Can this pump run continuously?
The pump should not be run with the discharge shut off or allowed to run dry. It is suitable for applications like washdowns and irrigation, but observe all operational guidelines in the owner's manual.
Are replacement parts available for this model?
Yes, repair parts such as the pump stack, shaft seal assembly, and motor are available. Please refer to the owner's manual for specific part numbers.
