Page 4: Product Description
Please read instruction details carefully as they are intended to ensure this product provides long trouble free service. Failure to install the unit in accordance with the installation instructions will lead to invalidation of the warranty. 1. Product Description The AccuBoost unpumped range consists of a pressure vessel and integral base. The AccuBoost pumped range consists of a pressure vessel and an electrically operated pump attached to the integral base. -

Page 8: Installation Instructions
6. Installation Instructions 6.1 Location All AccuBoost models are designed to be connected directly to the cold mains water supply within the property. Pumped models should ideally be connected directly after the stopcock. Unpumped AccuBoost units can be located within the building, loft areas, outbuildings, garages or basements - but the location must be dry and frost free. -
Page 9: Water Temperature
Loading/support: - The AccuBoost unit should be installed on a smooth, flat, level surface so that the pressure vessel is vertical. - The base of the unit should be fully supported across the entire base to ensure maximum stability and safe loading. Refer to Figure 5 - The floor/mounting surface must be able to withstand the maximum full weight of the AccuBoost unit (please refer to the technical specification for the weights of each unit). -
Page 10: Pipework
6.3 Pipework General 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 maximum system pressure of 8.6 Bar/860 kPa. - Page 11 - Unpumped units use the same pipework to the pressure vessel for both filling and emptying the vessel. This should be connected to the mains as shown in Figures 1 & 3. - Pumped units have a seperate inlet and outlet. Arrows on the brass end of the pump clearly show the inlet and outlet, refer to Figure 6.

Page 12: Air Precharge Pressure Of The Vessel
6.5 Air precharge pressure of the vessel To maintain optimum performance of the system, a pressure differential of approx. 1.5 Bar between the mains water static pressure and air precharge pressure within the vessel should be maintained. The air precharge of the vessel should never be less than 0.5 Bar. - Pumped units have the air precharge pressure set at the factory to 1.5 Bar/21.75PSI. - Page 13 Adjusting the air precharge pressure: - To reduce the air precharge pressure in the vessel, depress the centre of the Schrader valve to release air pressure. Only release a small amount of pressure at a time and then the remaining pressure should be checked again. Continue to do this until the correct air precharge pressure is achieved.

Page 14: Electrical Installation (Pumped Versions Only)
6.6 Electrical installation (pumped versions only) Your pump must be connected to the electrical supply using the supplied mains cable with the attached plug. This plug must be connected to an accessible socket that has been installed in compliance with IET Wiring Regulations. - The plug must be accessible at all times - If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. -
Page 15: Final Commissioning
7. Final Commissioning Priming (pumped versions only) It is critical to discharge water through the pump into a container using natural flow before connecting the outlet of the pump to the pipework. This ensures the air has been discharged from the inlet pipe work and pump chambers. The best method is :- - Connect the inlet pipework to the inlet anti-vibration hose - Check that all isolating valves on anti-vibration hoses are open - Turn on stopcock and allow water to flow from the pump outlet anti-vibration hose into a... -

Page 17: Maintenance
9. Maintenance Disconnect electrical supply before working on pump (on pumped versions). Turn off water supply to the unit, completely empty the vessel of water by opening outlets before attempting any maintenance. Cleaning the filters The inline strainer filter and filter washer (pumped units) should be cleaned at regular intervals to allow the free flow of water into the system. -
Page 18: Retro Fitting A Pump To An Unpumped Unit
If an unpumped unit has been installed and there is a requirement for a pumped version, a pump can be retrofitted (Salamander Pumps part code ACC-UPG-KIT), as long as all of the criteria within this manual are adhered to. IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY A SALAMANDER PUMPS ACCUBOOST PUMP (ACC-UPG-KIT) CAN BE RETROFITTED - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIT ANY OTHER PUMP INCLUDING THOSE FROM THE OTHER SALAMANDER PUMPS RANGES. - Page 19 4. Attach the 4 anti vibration feet to the pump (one per corner). Place a pump retainer over 2 of the anti vibration feet. Repeat for the other side. Figure 15 5. Position the pump so that the retainer fixing holes line up with the holes on the vessel base.

Page 20: Multiple Vessels
11. Multiple Vessels If additional water storage capacity is required, multiple vessels can be installed in a system. NOTE: ONLY ONE PUMP CAN BE FITTED PER INSTALLATION. Additional vessels should be connected via a “T” on the vessel port of the pump (for pumped versions). A Salamander Pumps vessel connector kit (part code TNK-CON-KIT) can be purchased separately to allow multiple vessels to be connected. - Page 21 If multiple vessels are to be connected to a pumped AccuBoost unit, they should be connected after the outlet from the pump. It is advised to connect the vessels to the vessel port on the pump. To install multiple vessels to a pumped unit: 1.
