Commissioning
Before you make electrical supply to unit:
1. Flush the inlet pipework with water, before
connecting to the tank, then turn off mains
water supply at the stop tap.
2. Connect inlet pipework to the unit.
3. Check that all isolating valves are open
(except mains bypass valve which should be
closed) - see typical installation diagrams.
4. Turn mains water on at the stop tap to fully
fill the tank with water. Inlet flow will stop
when shut off by the float valve.
5. Check there is at least 25mm gap between
the level of the water when full and where
the water exits the inlet valve. Adjust the
float position if necessary.
6. Inspect inlet pipework connected to the unit
for leaks.
7. Open all the water outlets BEFORE
electrically switching the pump on. It is
important to ensure all air can be discharged
through the system (all the hot and cold
outlets on a whole house application).
8. Switch on electrical supply to TankBoost
(the screen will display ‘OFF’.
9. Press the power button on the control unit,
the pump will automatically start and begin
pumping water.
10. Screen will display the current pressure of
the system. Note: It may take a few seconds
for the pump to clear any air locks and begin
pumping water. It may also be necessary to
stop and start the pump a few times to allow
all air to be discharged. This can be done by
pressing the ‘Enter’ button to switch off the
pump and then pressing it again to turn the
pump on.
11. If TankBoost does not activate, please refer
to the trouble shooting section of these
application notes.
12. Close all household outlets.
13. Check that pump turns off (this may take a
few seconds while the pump pressurises the
system).
14. Check for leaks while the system is
pressurised.
15. During normal operation, it is not necessary
to adjust the control unit.
Maintenance
Pressure Vessel Pre-Charge
- To maintain optimum performance of the
system, the external pressure vessel (supplied
with the unit) is pre-charged to 1.5 Bar. This air
pre-charge pressure within the vessel should
be maintained with an annual check:
•
Isolate pump electrically.
•
Release system water pressure by opening
an outlet on the system and leave the outlet
open to drain all remaining water within the
system.
•
Lift vessel from it’s locator at the rear of
the unit.
•
Remove cap protecting the Schrader valve.
•
Check pre-charge at Schrader valve using a
tyre pressure gauge.
•
If below 1.5 bar, increase the pressure
by injecting air into the vessel via the
Schrader valve using a car or bicycle pump.
If pressure is greater than 1.5 bar, remove
pressure by depressing the centre of the
valve.
•
Replace the protective cap and place the
vessel into the locator at the rear of the
unit.
Regular Activation
- We recommend that the unit is activated for
at least five minutes every four weeks. This
is to avoid a build-up of water scale in the
mechanical components if the unit is unused
for long periods.
Stored Water Condition
- As with any stored volume of water, the water
temperature needs to remain below 20°C. The
quality of stored water will deteriorate with
time and temperature. Bacterial growth rates
will be higher when the conditions are warm. If
the water remains unused for long periods of
time, the tank should be drained and flushed
through. The tank should be cleaned on an
annual basis to protect against bacterial
growth. The tank can be drained by isolating
the mains water supply to the fill valve and
using the pump to empty water out of the tank
via the outlets supplied by the unit.

Electrical Installation
-
TankBoost must be connected to the
electrical supply using the mains cable,
wired to a UK 3-pin plug or fused spur (with a
fuse no greater than 5A).
- The supply cord should be cut down to a
suitable length to avoid excess cable. Any
excess cable must not be coiled.
- This must be an accessible connection that
has been installed in compliance with IET
Wiring Regulations.
- The connection must be earthed via the
supply cord and the circuit must be suitably
RCD protected. All pipe work must be
cross bonded in accordance with the IET
Regulations.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.
- Water should not be allowed to come into
contact with the electrical connection.
- If the unit is to be installed in a loft, garage,
outbuilding or other location where there is a
risk of water ingress or condensation to the
connection, an appropriately IP rated socket
must be used.
- The mains lead wires in this unit are coloured
as follows:
Brown = Live
Blue = Neutral
Green & Yellow = Earth
