8- Once a suitable location has been identified, the unit should be removed from thepackaging and inspected for any damage- Carefully move the unit into position- A maintenance bypass containing full bore isolation valves (not supplied) should beinstalled to AccuBoost pipework to allow any maintainence to be carried out withoutdisrupting the mains water supply to the property. See Figures 1-4 on pages 4 & 5.- For unpumped versions it is advised to install an inline strainer before the AccuBoost unit.Pumped versions have an inline strainer incorporated into the design of the pump.- A double check valve and pressure reducing valve (not supplied) must be installed afterthe stopcock on both pumped and unpumped installations. See Figures 1-4 on page 4-5.NOTE: the maximum system pressure of the AccuBoost system is 8.6 Bar/860 kPa. If thispressure is exceeded irrepairable damage to the unit, serious injury, death or propertydamage could occur. This will also invalidate the warranty of the product. Please considerpressure spikes that can occur and the fact that the mains pressure may vary at differenttimes of the day/night.6.4 System connections6.3 PipeworkGeneral plumbing:- Ensure pipework runs are as short as possible and minimise potential for airlocks.- To meet the requirements of the water supply (water fittings) regulations, a type EC-verifiable double check valve should be fitted. Refer to Figures 1-4 on page 4 & 5.- Ensure the combined mains pressure and pump pressure does not exceed the maximumsystem pressure of 8.6 Bar/860 kPa. A pressure reducing valve (not supplied) should beused on the incoming mains before the AccuBoost unit.- All outlets connected between the mains stopcock and AccuBoost unit must be protectedby non-return valves to prevent backflow of water and air into the AccuBoost unit.- All pipework must be cross-bonded in accordance with IET Regulations.Secure pipework:- All pipework to and from the AccuBoost unit should be supported with pipeclips.Flux:- Solder joins must be completed and flux residues removed prior to the AccuBoost unitinstallation. Solder flux must not come into contact with the presure vessel, pump, base,anti-vibration hoses or any part of the AccuBoost unit. Flux damage will invalidate anywarranty.- All associated pipework must be thoroughly flushed before making final connections tothe AccuBoost unit.Natural water flow:- A minimum mains water static pressure of 2 Bar/200 kPa is recommended for unpumpedunits. Performance and refill times will be improved when the flow rate is higher.- Pumped versions are usually recomended when the natural flow rate is below 12 L/min orthe mains static pressure is below 2.0 Bar/200 kPa. For pumped units there must be atleast 2 L/min of natural water flow.
