INTRODUCTION

This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your T40i booster
pump. Please read them carefully.

The installation must be carried out by a suitably
qualified person and in the sequence of this
instruction book.

Care taken during the installation will ensure a
long, trouble-free life from your booster pump.

The T40i booster pump is designed to improve
the flow rate through an existing bath/tap mixer
valve. It is NOT designed to pressurise the water
supply but only to assist the flow.

IT MUST ONLY be fitted to new or existing
gravity fed shower mixer systems.

The unit is easy to install requiring no plumbing,
only simple screw-on hose connections and a
suitable power supply.

Note: It must NOT be used with instantaneous
water heaters.

This product is suitable for installation in a
bathroom.

DO NOT install the unit so close to the bath
that the supplied hose becomes twisted or
kinked and restricts the water flow.
