1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Congratulations on buying a Mainsboost Charger 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.
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 Charger System works:
The Mainsboost 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 unit to provide a balanced supply at consistent pressure to
downstream services.
On occasions where the static pressure is less than 2 bar, a charger pump unit
can be used to ensure sufficient pressure is available for the Mainsboost system
to continue to function correctly.
The Mainsboost Charger 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 pump.

2 IMPORTANT FACTS READ BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
A. Commissioning
2.11 Ensure the pump is primed as described in the priming section before starting,
damage to the shaft seal will result otherwise. See Section 8.16 -
Commissioning.
B. Water temperature
This unit is designed for cold water applications only which should not exceed the
following values:
2.12 The maximum allowable water temperature is 35 oC.
2.13 The minimum allowable water temperature is 4 oC.
C. Pipework - General
2.14 Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from the Mainsboost Charger is
independently supported & clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet
and outlet branches of pump. Flexible hoses supplied must be used.
2.15 Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to pump
installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
2.16 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 90o bends.
D. Plumbing Installation Regulations
2.17 The plumbing installation must comply with the current water and building
regulations.
2.18 The plumbing installation must be installed by a qualified person.
2.19 The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the current
national electrical regulations.
2.20 The electrical installation must be installed by a qualified person.
