Product Usage Instructions

Principle and Advantages

Principle of the ACM Mains Booster Pump: The pump improves flow rates to various water outlets and maintains stable pressure using a digital variable speed design.

Advantages:

• Improves flow rates to taps, showers, baths, and services
• Increases pressure and flow from small bore pipes
• Stable pressure with minimal drop flow
• Silent operation

Further Details on the Accumulator Charger Pump

The charger pump can be used with various accumulators or pressure vessels, offering adjustable water pressure of up to 4.5 bar through an LCD. It is compatible with different accumulator brands and offers multiple mounting options.

Plumbing System Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s:

• Install the ACM directly on the mains supply
• Fit flexible hoses on the inlet and outlet
• Comply with IET wiring regulations
• Protect the pump from frost
• Install full-bore isolating valves on the inlet and outlet pipework

Don’ts:

• Do not fit the pump to communal risers
• Avoid fitting the pump after a water softener or in a damp environment

Dimensions and Incoming Mains

The incoming mains should be fitted with an upstream kit, Monobloc upstream kit, or a double-check valve. The pump has wall or floor mounting options for flexible installation.

Regulations

Always consider relevant regulations and guidance when installing pressurized water systems in domestic and commercial settings. This includes compliance with WRAS, BS6700, BS EN806, HSE Building Regulations, and IEE wiring regulations.

PRINCIPLE AND ADVANTAGES

Principle of the ACM Mains Booster Pump

• The DAB ACM mains booster pump reacts when the water mains pressure is below the pump pre-set value. The result is higher pressure to the building’s water supply, up to 4.5 bar.
• A full-bore bypass can be fitted to enable use during pump maintenance. Fitting the ACM pump will enhance the water performance of unvented hot water cylinders, combination boilers, electric showers, and mixer showers.
• Water authorities restrict the amount of water permitted to be pumped from the water main to 12 liters/minute. The AC pump falls within these limits.

Advantages of this system

• Improves flow rates to hot and cold water taps, showers, baths, and services, up to a maximum of 12 liters/minute
• Pressure and flow from small bore pipes can be increased
• Stable pressure due to the digital variable speed pump design
• Minimal drop flow when more than one tap is opened
• Silent operation

FURTHER DETAILS

ON THE ACCUMULATOR CHARGER PUMP

Overview

• The Digital Charger Pump can be used with any accumulator or pressure vessel, including GWS, Lowara, Grundfos, and Stuart Turner products.
• Using this charger pump, water pressure can be increased to a maximum of 4.5 bar, and is adjustable via the LCD display.
• This pump has wall or floor-mounted options and can be mounted away from the accumulator itself.
• It works well in conjunction with any vertical or horizontal vessel and allows for direct mains water connection too.

Details

• Three-year warranty
• Silent running due to inverter control
• Water-cooled motor
• Variable speed design
• Digital display with pressure adjustment
• Wifi enabled to allow for remote control from your phone

TYPICAL SYSTEM – Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s:

• Install the ACM directly on the mains supply
• Fit flexible hoses on the inlet and outlet
• Note that only 1 ACM can be fitted per mains supply
• Ensure the installation complies with IET wiring regulations
• Ensure the pump is protected from frost
• Remember that it is considered good practice to install full-bore isolating valves on the inlet and outlet pipework

Don’ts:

• Never fit the pump to communal risers
• Never fit the pump after a water softener
• Never fit to hot water piping
• Never fit in a damp environment

Incoming Mains

The incoming mains should be fitted with an upstream kit, Monobloc upstream kit, or a double-check valve.

Regulations

Remember to always give consideration to any current regulation and guidance covering the installation of pressurized water systems in domestic and commercial applications.

Include:

Scale

• When the water supply is hard, suitable scale protection should be installed. Water softeners and water conditions can both be used to control scale.
• When planning the installation of a water softener, the following considerations will need to be remembered.
• The softener should be connected after the pump
• Pipework in and out should be full-bore
• The drinking water supply should be taken off before the softener
• Remember the installation of a softener bypass kit must be considered

Location

• The DAB ACM pump works on a sealed pressurized system connected directly to the mains water supply.
• The pump is normally located early in the building’s plumbing, before any connections or points of use.
• When deciding on the location of this pump, consider the following points.
• The floor must be able to withstand the weight of the pump
• The isolation valve has to be installed to enable the supply to and from the pump to be shut off
