5.11  Mainsboost is a very flexible solution, offering a packaged system to suit any 

 

type or size of building no matter how large or small the demand.

 

The following illustrations depict some of the most typical installations.

5.12 

Single occupancy application

 

Use of Mainsboost in a house  

 

offers water on demand whilst  

 

giving maximum flexibility.  As  

 

can be seen the upstream  

 

line-in kit has to be fitted on to 

 

the rising main but the vessels 

 

can be fitted wherever there is  

 

a space, for example; utility,  

 

kitchen, upstairs cupboard or  

 

loft, providing adequate    

 

provisions are taken for the  

 

weight, frost protection etc  

 

(see Fig 4).

5.13 

Multiple occupancy application

 

Often affected by poor water  

 

supplies Mainsboost offers the  

 

perfect solution.  For multiple  

 

occupancy buildings again the  

 

upstream line-in kit is located  

 

next to the rising main and  

 

sized to meet the demand of  

 

the entire building.  Each   

 

apartment then has its own  

 

vessel located within the   

 

property, sized to meet the  

 

apartments own demand  

 

(see Fig. 5).
