Salamander Pumps TapBoost TBS15, Installation Manual, Page: 4 / 20

TapBoost is an intelligent domestic inline clean water pump intended to
improve the flow to a single outlet/point of use (such as a tap, shower, toilet
cistern) which suffers with a poor natural flow. It is suitable for use with mains
water and tank fed water systems, with water up to 65°C. TapBoost operates
at 12V DC which is supplied via a 240V AC power supply unit.
TapBoost is not suitable for boosting multiple outlets. If multiple outlets
suffer from poor natural flow, Salamander Pumps have a range of products
that are suitable. Please visit
www.salamanderpumps.co.uk
for details of our
full range of products.
For TapBoost to operate, there must be a natural flow rate
from the outlet of at least 1.2 litres per minute (lpm). Details
of how to measure the natural flow rate from the outlet can
be found at
www.salamanderpumps.co.uk
or scan the QR
code to learn how to measure the flow rate.
When the natural flow rate is at 1.2 lpm TapBoost will increase the flow up
to 7 lpm (provided there are no restrictions in the pipework/outlet). If the
natural flow rate is greater than 1.2 lpm TapBoost will increase your outlet
flow rate up to a maximum of 11 lpm. Refer to Figure 1 below to see how
much additional flow TapBoost will provide to the natural flow rate at the
outlet. TapBoost constantly monitors the flow rate and will react accordingly.
If the flow rate reaches 11 lpm, TapBoost will enter idle mode so as not to
pump more than 12 lpm to comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999.
TapBoost cannot overcome restricted incoming pipework and replacement
water pipes should be installed in this scenario. Some outlets are naturally
restrictive and TapBoost may not be able to add additional flow to these
types of outlet.
Please read these 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.
