2 LOCATION - GENERAL
2.11
Access:
For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
2.12
Protection:
The iBoost must be located in a dry, frost free area. The
iBoost must not be installed in a loft space.
2.13
Ventilation:
Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the iBoost.
Separate the iBoost from other appliances that generate heat.
Do not
block the vent holes on the front panel.
2.14
Safety:
Motor is not accessable in normal operating mode. Unit must
only be operated with the front cover in place.
2.15
Water retention:
Site the iBoost in a location where in the unlikely
event of overflow, water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to
avoid electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
The iBoost has a weir type overflow at the rear of the tank, in the
event of overflow, the water will drain from the weir area.
A minimum gap of 50 mm must be allowed at the rear of the tank to
allow any possible overflow water to exit the weir area.
The weir
area must not be blocked or covered.
2.16
Supply inlet pressure:
The water supply inlet pressure must be lower than
7 bar; lower supply inlet pressures will reduce the tank fill rate and reduce the
time the iBoost will run at higher flow rates before running out of stored water.
2.17
Ambient temperature:
The iBoost must be sited in a location where the
ambient temperature does not exceed 30
o
C (see Section 7.13 - Water
Quality).
2.18
Pipework:
For optimum performance outlet pipework must be 22 mm pipe.
Pipework should only reduce to 15 mm when entering terminal fittings.
2.19
Static outlet pressure:
The static outlet head must also be within the
maximum requirement of 15 metres (vertically above the appliance).
2.20
Noise:
A flexible hose is supplied as standard which will minimise the
transmission of noise and vibration from the iBoost pump to the pipework
connected to the appliance outlet. However, care must be taken when mounting
the iBoost that any noise is not amplified through loose panels or pipework.
2.21
Direction of flow:
Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow marked
on the flow switch reed clamp (vertically upwards).
2.22
Flexible hose:
Only use the Stuart Turner hose supplied with the pump.
2.23
Isolating valves:
Separate system isolating valves (non restrictive) must be
fitted to allow easy pump service. Isolating valves must be mounted where
specified to allow the system isolation and removal of the iBoost if needed. See
Section 4
for installation details.
2.24
Preferred iBoost location:
The preferred iBoost location is on a smooth level
floor of sufficient strength to support the filled weight of the iBoost close to the
water source and a suitable overflow position (see Section 8 - Technical
Specification for filled weight).
The iBoost must not be installed in a loft space.
It must also be considered that the noise and vibration from the iBoost may be
transmitted through the structure the iBoost is sited on.
Ensure there is sufficient room above the iBoost to allow the removal and
servicing of the internal float valve if needed, typically 350 mm.
