Booster pump

How warm should the booster pump be when using - sometimes mine is almost too hot to touch ? Any reasons for this ?…. It’s nearly new

I have 3 booster pumps they all get hot I think it’s quite normal , just make sure there is nothing covering it it should be fine my oldest one is 11 years old and still going strong .

I can't say I have ever noticed mine getting hot, I do have mine plugged into a smart plug which has set schedules so it gets too cold down for a few minutes just in case it might overheat.

I turn mine off every couple of hours for 15 minutes to cool it down. But it does get very hot and hasn't been a problem.

Just get a smart plug then you can set schedules for on and off saves you going outside

I do same. Set timer to give it a regular little rest.

Yeah good idea I should do this

Double check the smart plug you buy does enough schedules as some only have a few times, others you can have lots and even have a setting to do on for a time then off for a time and repeat.

I have the Tapo ones which I think you might have recommended, I can have quite a lot of schedules and even set a timer to countdown to switch on or off

I do have Tapo ones and a few others, but each has it's own capabilities, some work with Alexa, others have countdowns, I have 1 that I used to use on my 150GPD RO booster pump that I could set to do 45 mins on 15 mins off between certain times of the day - I think that's what it did - maybe that was an ewelink but they change the spec quite often so worth checking.
