Timed Boosts
Timed Boost periods can be entered against Summer
and Winter seasons. This enables longer boost times to
be set in Winter periods when solar generation maybe
less. Two boost periods are available each day and can
be programmed on a 5 day weekday/2 day weekend
basis.
Programme the start time and duration of the boost using
the A and B buttons as described above. Start times are
selectable in 15 minute steps and the duration of the
boost in 30 minute steps.
e.g. a setting of 07:00 1.5hrs will switch on the boost at
7 am for 1 hour 30 minutes.
An unused boost is left at 00:00 for 0:00 duration.
The operating boost season is set manually using the
Boost Season feature found at the end of the normal
Display Cycle, see page 14. Boosts may be temporarily
disabled (e.g. for holiday periods) by selecting 'Timed
Boosts OFF'.

Since my Solar I-boost was installed in 2014, when I had no battery storage, I have had retrofit Pylon 2 x 3.5kWh batteries and then a new generation system installed with 3 x Fox EP5 5.18kWh batteries - ie a total BESS od 22.54 kWh x 90% = 20+ kWh of usable storage - and so my I-boost is only heating the water when I have SOC 100% = 22.54 kWh stored. But can I not leave my gas HW heating off and simply press the manual boost and use any available battery storage ??
