Description

The EcoBoost is designed to supply laundry dispensers (max. 3 low flow EvoClean’s) with 2.2 bar (32 psi) consistently with the EvoBoost installed, chemical delivery will be consistent and extremely accurate, leading to predictable laundry results. The key features of the unit are as follows:

• The EvoBoost is equipped with a powerful and reliable electric diaphragm pump in either 230VAC or 115VAC versions with a flow rate of 5.2 LPM (1.4 GPM).
• The EcoBoost is small and compact and specifically designed for OPL applications. It is designed to sit neatly on the floor near the chemical containers and has a clean aesthetic.
• The air gap on the water inlet of the EvoBoost provides a physical air break between the incoming potable water supply and the main water reservoir.
• Although it has been designed for a laundry use case, the EvoBoost is versatile and flexible to be used with any venturi dispenser.
• The EvoBoost pump will run when a valve on the dispenser opens until the pressure reaches 5.5 bar (80 psi), at which point, the integrated pressure switch turns it off.

• Ensure all plumbing is connected before switching on the EvoBoost unit.
• Ensure both the EvoBoost & EvoClean units are isolated (power & water) and de-pressurised before servicing or maintaining either unit.

EvoBoost Mounting

Follow the below procedure to mount EvoBoost to the wall.

1. Place EvoBoost on a flat surface. Mark point on the wall to drill a hole.
2. Drill a hole of 6mm on the wall at marked position.
3. Install wall plug to the wall. Secure one end of strap to the wall with hardware using screwdriver.

Setting up the EvoBoost:

• Position the EvoBoost in the desired location for install.
• Ensure the strainer washer is fitted to the INLET side of the EvoBoost (as illustrated).

Note: A Strainer washer must be fitted in order for the product to work effectively.

• Ensure the waste pipe elbow is fitted to the OVERFLOW OUTLET on the side of the EvoBoost (as illustrated in the recommended setup diagrams).

Setup of the EvoClean dispensers:
The EvoClean setup should be followed in the ‘EvoClean Installation and Operation manual’, this gives a more comprehensive setup of the system. Install the EvoClean units in accordance with the dimensional information given below in relation to distances from the EvoBoost.

Installation of EvoBoost plumbing:

• Connect the EvoBoost in accordance with the diagram below, adhering to the dimensions indicated.
• A serviceable water filter (approx. 105 microns) (not provided) should be used on the incoming mains supply.
• Each numbered item in next image is referenced from Section Contents of Packaging.

Installation

Electrical connection

• All electrical work should be carried out by a qualified Electrician, in accordance with local and national regulations.
• Isolate power & water supply to this equipment before connection/disconnection of water connections and/or maintenance on this unit and/or dispensers supplied by this unit.
• To avoid damage to the unit, ensure dispensers connected to the EvoBoost are not used whilst the water supply is isolated.
• The EvoBoost should be operated within the correct voltage range as listed in the Manual.
• This means that the connection of the appliance from the supply mains must be incorporated within the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• The installer and user are responsible for ensuring the installation and operation of the EvoBoost & EvoClean units are in accordance with this Installation and User Manual (and EvoClean manual) and local and national regulations.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

Note : It is a legal requirement to allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. The disconnection may be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Connecting the mains power supply

Setup

EvoBoost

Plumbing and power has been correctly connected according to the installation section. Once this is complete:

• Open the isolation valve connecting the EvoBoost to the water main.
• Allow the EvoBoost water reservoir to fill (this can take up to 15 minutes depending on water inlet flow).
• Check for leaks in the system plumbing on the inlet side of the unit.
• Turn on the power to the EvoBoost. The pump will activate, and you will hear it running.
• With a pressure gauge, check the delivery pressure on the EvoBoost when the valve on the destination device is open. The water pressure during delivery must be below 4.8 bar (70 psi) or there is too much backpressure for the pump to operate properly.
• The plumbing between the EvoBoost and EvoClean will pressurise until the pressure switch on the pump cuts out.
• Check for leaks in the system plumbing between the EvoBoost and EvoClean.
• Using the ‘prime chemicals’ feature on the EvoClean, operate the flush valve for approximately 30 seconds to flush through any trapped air in the system.
• Repeat this process with all EvoClean units in the system (up to 3).

EvoClean

The EvoClean setup should be followed in the ‘EvoClean Installation and Operation manual’, this gives a more comprehensive setup of the system. Once the EvoClean unit has been programmed correctly, the following quick start steps can be taken:

• Prime each chemical to the top of each chemical pickup tube.
• Calibrate each chemical to ensure that the dosage is accurate.

Operation

Operating the EvoClean dispensers

Once the EvoBoost has been setup (Refer to Section Setup), the EvoClean units will be ready to operate in a wash cycle. The EvoBoost will automatically run every time the EvoClean operates, through use of a built-in pressure switch. The EvoBoost will shut off automatically once the EvoClean unit stops dosing.

If the EvoBoost is not operated for a longer period of time, the water connection in front of the unit must be turned off.

Maintenance

Ensure both the EvoBoost & Evoclean units are isolated (Power & Water) and De- Pressurised before servicing or maintaining either unit.

Every 3 Months

• Verify that the pump is running smoothly without constant interruption.
• Check inlet & outlet plumbing to ensure not leaks have formed.
• Clean the unit with a damp cloth and remove dust, lint and dirt.

Cleaning of Pickup Tube

Clean the pump pickup tube & use a cleaning tablet to clean the inside of the tank:

1. Remove the Rear cover using flathead screwdriver to CAREFULLY pry the lower clips open.
2. Remove the rear cover.
3. Remove the screw securing the pump.
4. Lift the pump and remove clip securing pickup tube. WARNING TAKE CARE NOT TO DROP THE SECURING CLIP INTO THE WATER TANK
5. Remove the hose using the handle WARNING TAKE CARE NOT TO DROP THE PICKUP HOSE INTO THE WATER TANK.
6. Clean the pickup tube, removing any film, particles, dirt that may have built up.
7. Clean the inside of the tank and lower the pickup tube back into the tank WARNING TAKE CARE NOT TO DROP THE PICKUP HOSE INTO THE WATER TANK.
8. Lift the pump and replace the securing clip back onto the pickup tube WARNING TAKE CARE NOT TO DROP THE SECURING CLIP INTO THE WATER TANK.
9. Secure the pump using a screw.
10. Replace the rear cover.
