• Ensure the pump is protected from frost (NOTE: TapBoost and the
power supply must be installed indoors).
• If the water supply is known to be hard/have a high mineral content, it is
advisable to install a water softener after the stop tap. Always consult the
manufacturers literature for correct installation.
• Never use on outside cold-water storage tanks.
• Never use jointing compound, Boss White, hemp, or steel wool.
• Complete all hot work (e.g. pipework soldering) prior to TapBoost
installation. Solder flux should not come into contact with any part of
TapBoost, the power supply unit or its power cables.
• Never fit to restrictive or collapsed pipework/supply (e.g. lead main).
• When installed on mains water, detachable hose sets must not be used, it
must be installed onto rigid pipework and adequately supported.
• Pump noise: the technology within this pump makes it incredibly
quiet, however no pump is completely silent, so there may be some
humming noise when in operation.
• Observe the direction of flow arrow on the front of the pump when
installing. TapBoost can be installed horizontally or vertically
however for optimum performance it is better fitted vertically. Never
install TapBoost upside down or against the direction of flow.
