PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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

control system consisting of flow switch, pressure vessel and electronic control.

APPLICATION

The Mainsboost Flomate pumps are a mains booster unit 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 3.2 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.

PREINSTALLATION ASSEMBLY

The Flomate MBF is delivered as sub-assemblies, and two assembly kits. All parts are

supplied in the pump transit box.

Step 1

zClear a flat working area big enough to lay the

pressure vessel on its side.

zRemove the pressure vessel (item A) from the

packing and lay the vessel on its side (use the

packing to protect it).

Warning – This may require two people

due to the size and weight of the item.

zRemove the plastic cap from the threaded

port at the bottom of the vessel. Ensure there

is no debris or paint in the thread.

zRemove the pressure vessel adaptor (item E)

from the transit box. The adaptor is supplied

with a pre-applied sealant on the thread.

Do not apply any more sealant or tape to the

thread.

zScrew the vessel adaptor into the threaded

port in the base of the pressure vessel.

Tighten to 40–50 Nm or until there is 6–8 mm

gap between the head of the adaptor and the

face of the threaded port (see Fig. 3).

zScrew one end of the long flexible hose

(item C) to the smaller threaded end of the

pressure vessel adaptor and tighten for a leak

tight seal (Do not over tighten) (see Fig. 2).

zStand the pressure vessel upright onto a flat surface near the installation location.

Warning – This may require two people due to the size and weight of the

item.

Step 2

Please refer to figures 4 & 5 for fixing set up of different vessel types.

zRemove the pump assembly (item B) from the transit box. Ensure the two rubber

feet are located in the underside of the metal base plate prior to fitting.

zRemove the retaining bolt (item G3) and washer (items G1) from the transit box.

zRemove the black plastic cap from the top of the pressure vessel and discard it to

reveal the threaded fitting.

zPlace the pump assembly on the top of the pressure vessel and retain with the

screw and washers, rotate the pump assembly to align with the flexible hose at

the base of the vessel.

zTighten the retaining screw.

Note: 200 litre and 300 litre vessels require the threaded insert (item G2) to be

tightened into the vessel, see Fig. 5.

zFit the upper end of the flexible hose to the connection on the pump and tighten

for a leak tight seal (Do not over tighten), see Fig. 6.

zImportant – Ensure the flexible hose is routed so it is not bent tightly or crushed.

zRetain the long flexible hose to the side of the pressure vessel using the self-

adhesive pipe straps (item H).

zFit the short flexible hoses (item D) to the inlet and outlet of the pump using the

sealing washers (item F1), see Fig. 7.

zThe Flomate MBF is now ready to be moved into its final location and connected

to the water system.

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 35 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, pump 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 directly after the mains water

stopcock, in-line to the connection to the system. Site on a smooth level floor

of sufficient strength to support the filled weight (see Section 6 – Technical

Specification for filled weight). Do not site the pump in the roof space, since

air locks can easily result.

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

marked on the flow switch reed clamp.

2.18 Vessel: Ensure the vessel is placed on flat level ground and that the vessel/

unit is safely secured so it cannot be pulled over.

The vessel must be screwed to the floor using suitable fixings via

the 4 holes in the moulded base.
