1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Congratulations on buying a Mainsboost Plus system, designed to offer
consistent and reliable water services throughout the property and the only
system available that is patent protected No. GB2349908.
1.2 Patents, Trademarks & Trade Names:
‘Mainsboost’ ‘Mainsboost Plus™’ and ‘Mainsboost Charger’ are
registered Trademarks of Stuart Turner Ltd.
The use of this system is patent protected and the Mainsboost Plus vessel
cannot be mixed with other accumulator systems without prior approval from
Stuart Turner Ltd.
The Mainsboost Plus vessels have special characteristics and the use of other
vessels in this application could prove to be detrimental to the design and
performance of the system and the patent.
Stuart Turner Ltd will treat any infringement of the patent very seriously and
therefore recommend that any questions regarding application be brought to the
company for consideration.
1.3 How the Mainsboost Plus System works:
The Mainsboost Plus pressure vessel stores water from the rising main in a
sealed water chamber, separated from the air space by a rubber diaphragm and
pressurised to an optimum setting. When water is drawn off by downstream
services, the water from the mains is supplemented by the water from the
Mainsboost Plus unit to provide a balanced supply at consistent pressure to
downstream services.
The Mainsboost Plus pipework manifold incorporates a unique ‘green energy’
bypass. If the incoming mains water supply delivers more than 12 l/min this
bypass should be left open to allow any additional flow rate to pass directly into
the Mainsboost pressure vessel via the integral non-return valve. If the
incoming flow rate is less that 12 l/min the bypass valve should be left closed
in order to ensure optimum efficiency of the Charger MJ3 pump.
