Important Facts - Read Before Commencing Installation - Stuart Turner MAINBOOST iTank MBI Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

1 IMPORTANT FACTS:
A Water storage capacity
1.11 The iTank usable water volume can be found in the technical specification
table (Section 8); the length of time the iTank delivers water will be dependent
on the usage and refill rates.
1.12 Ensure the iTank is full of water 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 iTank tank, this will cause leakage.
1.16 System leaks: Ensure the system to be boosted is able to hold pressure and
is leak free before installing iTank. Failure to do so will cause abnormal
operation and damage to the unit.
1.17 Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently
supported & clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet
branches of the iTank. Do not secure pipework to the iTank, this will cause
damage and possible leakage.
1.18 Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to
iTank installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
1.19 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
1.20 DO NOT introduce solder flux to flexible hose, tank, pump or any parts
manufactured from plastic.
1.21 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.
1.23 DO NOT feed other header or gravity tanks with iTank. It is
acceptable to feed toilet cisterns provided the toilet fill valve operates
correctly and is leak free.
1.24 All pipework must be suitably insulated as required.
D Plumbing Installation Regulations
1.25 The plumbing installation must comply with the current water and building
regulations.
1.26 The plumbing installation must be installed by a qualified person.
E Pressure vessel
1.27 The iTank pressure vessel is charged at the factory see Section 7 -
Maintenance for details.
