PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Electric motor driven peripheral pump with bypass, complete with an automatic

control system consisting of flow switch and electronic control.

APPLICATION

The Mainsboost Flomate is a mains booster pump with an automatic control system for

domestic use, designed to assist the pressure from the mains supply, where the mains

pressure is insufficient. This unit requires a minimum unassisted supply flow of 0.6 l/

min to operate.

The pump is limited to producing a maximum flow of not greater than 12 l/min, and a

maximum pressure of 3.0 bar.

When the flow/pressure from the rising main exceeds the pump output, the patented

integral bypass will direct the water into the system as normal.

The Flomate mains booster is a patent granted design.

STORAGE

If this product is not to be installed immediately on receipt, ensure that it is stored in a

dry, frost and vibration free location in its original packaging.

zIn the interests of electrical safety a 30 mA residual

current device (R.C.D. not supplied) should be

installed in the supply circuit. This may be part of a

consumer unit or a separate unit.

zBefore starting work on the electrical supply ensure

power supply is isolated.

zDO NOT allow the supply cord to contact hot

surfaces, including the motor shell, pump body or

pipework. The cord should be safely routed and

secured by cable clips.

- 4 –

zThis appliance must be earthed via the supply cord,

which must be correctly connected to the earth

point located in the terminal box.

zThe supply cord and internal wiring within the

terminal box are routed and secured to ensure

compliance with the electrical standard

EN 60335–1. It is essential that prior to any

disturbance of this internal wiring, all cable routing

and securing details are carefully noted to ensure

re-assembly to the same factory pattern is always

maintained.

zIf the supply cord is to be changed or is damaged, it

must be replaced with a special cord assembly

available from Stuart Turner or one of their approved

repairers.

Notes

current Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations.

zUnder no account should the internal flow restrictor

be removed, or replaced with an alternative design.

zCare must be taken to ensure the maximum pressure

generated by the pump combined with the incoming

mains water pressure does not exceed the pumps

maximum operating pressure of 6 bar.

Please read installation details carefully as they are intended to ensure this product

provides long, trouble free service. Failure to install the unit in accordance with the

installation instructions will lead to invalidation of the warranty.

1 IMPORTANT FACTS: READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION

A Water temperature

The water entering the pump must be controlled as follows:

1.11 The maximum allowable water temperature is 23 oC.

1.12 The minimum allowable water temperature is 4 oC.

B Pipework – General

1.13 Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently

supported & clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet

branches of pump.

1.14 Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to

pump installation (flux damage will void any warranty).

1.15 Pipework design: Care should be taken in the design of pipework runs to

minimize the risk of air locks e.g. use drawn bends rather than 90obends.

1.16 DO NOT introduce solder flux to flexible hoses, pumps or pump parts.

1.17 DO NOT allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners

or strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.

1.18 Water flow: An un-assisted flow rate of at least 0.6 l/min is required

through the outlets to be pumped in order to make this pump work.

C Plumbing Installation Regulations

1.19 The plumbing installation must comply with the current water and building

regulations.

2 LOCATION  GENERAL

2.11 Access: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be

easily accessible.

2.12 Protection: The pump must be located in a dry position, frost free

and protected from freezing. Ensure the pump is in a dry position,

away from heat sources, such as radiators and heaters.

2.13 Ventilation: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump.

Separate the pump from other appliances that generate heat. An

80 mm air gap must be maintained to allow free air flow through

the fan cowl and over the motor at all times.

2.14 Safety: The motor casing can become very hot under normal

operating conditions. Care must be taken to ensure it cannot be

touched during operation.

2.15 Water retention: Site the pump in a location where in the unlikely

event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid

electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.

2.16 Location point: The pump must be located after the mains water stop cock,

in-line to the connection to the boiler. Do not site the pump in the roof

space, since air locks can easily result.

2.17 Pump position: The pump must be positioned on its anti-vibration mounting

feet and as close to the water source as possible.

2.18 Direction of flow: Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow, as

marked on the flow switch reed clamp.

2.19 Pipework Connections:

Isolating valves: Always install isolating valves (not supplied) to

both suction and delivery pipe to aid future maintenance.

a) Incoming mains pressure can vary, but must never exceed 6 bar. If there is

a possibility of exceeding 6 bar, separate inlet pressure control must be

fitted.

b) To meet the requirements of the Water Supply (water fittings) Regulations,

a type EC – verifiable double check valve (not supplied) must be fitted.

c) It is advisable to fit a bypass pipe and isolating valves. This will allow

removal of the pump for maintenance and servicing, and ensure the water

supply into the property is still available during that period (Fig. 3).

3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION  EARTHING

3.11 Regulations: The electrical installation must be carried out in

accordance with the current national electrical regulations and

installed by a qualified person.

3.12 Safety: In the interests of electrical safety a 30 mA residual current

device (R.C.D. not supplied) must be installed in the supply circuit.

This may be part of a consumer unit or a separate unit.

3.13 Before starting work on the electrical installation ensure the power

supply is isolated.

3.14 The motor and wiring must not be exposed to water.

3.15 The supply cable must be positioned so that it is not stepped on,

cut or damaged.

3.16 Electrical Connection:

a) The pump is provided with a factory fitted supply cord.

b) This must be permanently connected to the fixed wiring of the mains

supply.

c) Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in

d) A suitable method of connection would be via a dedicated double pole

switched, fused connection unit complying with BS 1363–4, protected with

a fuse (see technical specification section).

e) The connection unit should be mounted in an easily accessible position

and should be labelled if confusion is possible, to allow easy identification

of the flomate isolating switch.
