The SEP AVBP – Alarm Valve Booster Pump In the warmer months, our Alarm Valve Booster Pump (AVBP, or Towns Main Booster Pump, or False Alarm Booster Pump) becomes ever more popular. The main reason for this is that water supplies tend to become ever more scarce as demand increases and supply (subject to the British weather!) reduces… The water …
Another new compressor?
Yes, another new compressor model from SEP! With the help of our customers, we identified a gap in our compressor offering, and since we are always flexible and responsive, we’ve worked hard to fill it. In our compact/wall-mounted range, we have a variety of 230v standard lubricated, oil-free and ultra-quiet compressors, plus a small 3-phase/400v unit. Power ranges from 0.75kw …
100 mile challenge
There are many ‘good causes’ out there, and SEP supports several throughout the year and makes extra charitable donations on behalf of selected customers at Christmas.

Another SEP baby
We’re delighted to report another baby at SEP… ‘our’ second, and Cameron’s second daughter. Cameron and his fiancée Beth welcomed Matilda on Good Friday, 7th April at 15:15, weighing in at 8lb 4.5oz (or 3.76kg if you’re that way inclined, but we probably don’t need to say that post-Brexit!). After a labour that wasn’t the shortest ever (in Cameron’s words “40 hours …

SEP’s Giant exposure
It was just intended as a little bit of end-of-season fun when we agreed a small advertising deal with the Manchester Giants (www.manchestergiants.com) basketball team, who are based just down the road from our new premises. What we didn’t know was that the next home game (against Cheshire Phoenix, on Friday 7th April) would feature on Sky Sports! As you can …
Upgrade for Pump Initiation Boards

We are already confident that our pump initiation boards (pump test panels, pump test assemblies, whatever you wish to call them!) are the best. They …
Zone Guardian maintenance
One thing which crops up from time-to-time with our technical/troubleshooting department (OK, we don’t have a ‘department’ other than in our heads, but we’re always here to help!) is occasional issues with the pump operation on our Zone Guardian unit. This is covered in our ZG Troubleshooting Guide, which is available from the Downloads page on our website, but sometimes …
