Note: If a water softener is to be fitted it must be located between the upstream line-in kit and the vessel. If high pressure is also required to the drinking tap fit a Stuart Water Conditioner, available from Stuart Turner, rather than a water softener.
6 INSTALLATION Step 1: Remove the Mainsboost vessel from its packaging and check to ensure it is not damaged. WARNING: depending on vessel size this may require two people to complete safely. Ensure the floor is sufficiently strong enough to take the total weight of the unit when full of water (see Technical Specification section).

Note: Do not forget if a water softener is to be installed this has to be included in this pipe run, and additional space must be allocated for this. Do not fit smaller pipework than the upstream line-in kit accepts as this will impair performance.
