Important Facts - Read Before Commencing Installation - Stuart Turner Flomate iBoost CAT 5 Installation, Operation & Maintanance Instructions

1 IMPORTANT FACTS:
A. Water storage capacity.
1.11 The iBoost has a usable water volume of approximately 200 litres; the length of
time the iBoost delivers water will be dependent on the usage and refill rates.
1.12 Ensure the pump is primed as described in the priming section before starting,
to avoid causing damage to the pump shaft seal. See Section 6 -
Commissioning.
B. Water temperature
This unit is designed to pump cold water only which should not exceed the following
values:
1.13 The maximum allowable water temperature is 23
1.14 The minimum allowable water temperature is 4
C. Pipework - General
1.15 Do not drill holes or put fastenings into the iBoost tank, this will cause leakage.
1.16 Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently
supported & clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet
branches of pump. Do not secure pipework to the iBoost, this will cause
damage and possible leakage.
1.17 Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to iBoost
installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
1.18 Pipework design: Care should be taken in the design of pipework runs to
minimize the risk of air locks e.g. use drawn bends rather than 90
1.19 DO NOT introduce solder flux to flexible hose, tank, pump or any parts
manufactured from plastic.
1.20 DO NOT allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners or
strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.
1.22 DO NOT bend the flexible hose beyond 30
straight as possible.
