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. This product is rated at 15 minutes on / 45 minutes off. 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.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance with Water Regulations/Byelaws. To ensure correct operation, the T40i unit must be connected to a gravity fed system of hot and cold water of equal pressure (fig.2). The T40i pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains water supply.

Cold supply

230mm min.

Hot supply

The unit must be positioned BELOW the cold water cistern and NOT placed in areas where it will be subject to freezing conditions.

2' 6" minimum

Hot water cylinder
Position the unit where it will NOT be in direct contact with water from the sprayhead. Both hot and cold water supplies to the existing bath/tap mixer valve MUST be direct and separate from any other outlets or connections. DO NOT use jointing compound on any pipe fittings for installation. Note: The outlet of the T40i pump acts as a vent and must not be connected to any form of tap or fitting that is NOT recommended by the manufacturer. Generally there are four main types of hot and cold water mixer systems to which the T40i can be installed. These are shown in (fig.2) through to (fig.5).

Whether the mixer valve has top or bottom outlet, position the T40i so the hose is not kinked or twisted
In each case, to ensure correct operation of the booster pump, the top of the T40i unit MUST be at least 230mm below the bottom of the cold water cistern and the sprayhead must be a minimum of 100mm below the water level of the cold water cistern. Note: Bath mixer valves incorporating a diverter valve can have a high restriction to water flow, so the expected improvement may not be possible. Water circuits supplying the T40i unit should be installed so that the flow is not significantly affected by other taps and appliances that are being operated elsewhere on the premises.
Fig.3 Mixer valve arrangement
THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE EARTHED. This product must be permanently connected to the electricity supply, via a double pole switch with at least 3mm contact separation. This can be a ceiling mounted pull cord switch, or a wall mounted switch, both of which must be fused at 3A. The switch must be readily accessible and clearly identifiable, but out of reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower, except for the cord of a cord operated switch. The installation and wiring must comply with the current IEE regulations. The supply cable and circuit protection must conform with IEE wiring regulations and be sufficient for the amperage required. In most cases 1mm twin and earth cable will be adequate. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician or contact Triton Customer Service for advice.

FITTING TO THE WALL
Unscrew the top and bottom retaining screws (fig.6) and lift the cover from the backplate. Note: The control knob is an integral part of the cover DO NOT attempt to remove it. Decide on the cable entry position, either top or rear. If top entry position is chosen, the cut-out in the backplate must be removed (fig.7). Loosely connect the flexible hose supplied to the T40i inlet connection and the mixer valve outlet. Using the backplate as a template, hold it against the wall, making sure there is some slack in the hose and mark the position of the fixing holes (fig.8). Remove the flexible hose from the T40i and mixer valve. Drill and plug to suit the fixing screws supplied. (The wallplugs provided are suitable for most brick walls use an appropriate masonry drill, but if the wall is plasterboard or a soft building block, you must use special wallplugs and an suitable drill bit). Screw the top fixing screw into position leaving the base of the screw head protruding 6mm out from the wall. Hook the backplate over the top screw and fit the bottom fixing screw into position. The bottom fixing hole is elongated to allow for out of square adjustment. Tighten both screws when correctly positioned.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Terminal block

WARNING! This appliance must be earthed. Note: A double pole linked switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in both poles must be fitted in the circuit. IMPORTANT: The T40i unit must be supplied by fixed wiring. The supply cable must conform to relevant tables in current IEE regulations. The electrical rating of the T40i is shown on the rating label within the unit. Fig.10 shows a schematic wiring diagram.

Neon indicator

Switch
SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAINS. The cable entry points are shown in fig.1. The cable can be surface clipped, hidden or via 20mm conduit. Note: Conduit entry can only be from the rear. Route the cable into the unit and connect to the terminal block (fig.11) as follows:

Fig.11

Earth cable to terminal marked E Neutral cable to terminal marked N Live cable to terminal marked L IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the terminal block screws and make sure that no cable insulation is trapped under the screws.
Note: The supply cable earth conductor must be sleeved. The cable clamp (fig.10) is suitable for up to 4mm cable, but in most cases 1mm cable will be enough. The earth continuity conductor of the electrical installation must be effectively connected electrically to all exposed metal parts of other appliances and services in the room in which the T40i is to be installed, to conform to current IEE regulations. The use of connections within the unit to supply power to other equipment i.e. extractor fans, pumps etc. will invalidate the guarantee. DO NOT switch on the electricity supply until the cover has been fitted.

REPLACING THE COVER AND TESTING

Procedure

a) Make sure the switch spindle adaptor dogs are positioned as shown (fig.12). b) Position the control knob on the cover to stop (fig.15). c) Offer the cover to the unit and plug the loose neon into the bracket that is located inside the cover (fig.13). Place the cover squarely over the backplate and guide into position so that the extended dogs of the spindle adaptor slot into the recess of the control knob. Should any difficulty arise, recheck the points above. Secure the cover in position with the two retaining screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Turn on the water supply at the mixer valve/tap and adjust to a normal showering temperature. Make sure the control knob is at the stop position. Switch on the electricity supply at the isolating switch. Turn the control knob to the start position (fig.14). The pump will start and the neon will illuminate. Check for an increase in water flow. Turn the control knob to the stop position (fig.15). The water flow should decrease. Turn off the water at the mixer valve/tap. The installation should be checked for any leaks from the hose connections.

OPERATING

Ensure the electric isolating switch is on to the T40i. Turn on the water supply at the mixer valve/tap and adjust to a showering temperature. Switch the T40i control knob to start (fig.14). The pump will start and the neon will illuminate. Adjust shower temperature as normal. Note: With the push-on hose systems the T40i pump should not be switched on until water flows from the sprayhead. When showering is completed, switch the T40i control knob to stop (fig.15). Turn off the mixer valve or taps.

MAINTENANCE

Fig.15 It is recommended that the booster pump unit and hoses be cleaned using a soft cloth and that the use of abrasive or solvent cleaning fluids be avoided. Before cleaning, turn off the unit at the isolation switch to avoid accidental switching on of the booster pump. IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE EXISTING SPRAYHEAD CLEAN IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SHOWER. The hardness of water will determine the frequency of cleaning. For example, if the shower is used every day in a very hard water area, it may be necessary to clean the sprayhead on a weekly basis. If the T40i pump is not used for lengthy periods, it is recommended to turn on the water at the mixer valve/tap then switch the pump on for two or three minutes periodically to prevent the motor shaft seals from seizing. Do not run the T40i pump dry.
WARNING! Do not use powerful abrasive or solvent cleaning fluids when cleaning the booster pump as they may damage the plastic fittings.
