2. Maintenance

The Booster unit is maintenance
free. However, we recommend
cleaning the booster unit in connec-
tion with the occasional cleaning
of the other equipment in the area.
The filter must be cleaned at con-
venient intervals (approx. every 1-3
months) depending of the amount
of impurities in the water.

2.1 Filter

1. Press "0" on the control panel
to stop the Booster.
2. Interrupt the master switch
(Fig. 1).
3. Close the water inlet .
4. Open a tap to release the
system of pressure.
5. Remove the filter (A, Fig. 2)
and place it in a descaling
solution.
Note: MB systems are not
delivered with a factory mount-
ed filter. In case a filter is

mounted in a MB system, the
descaling procedure is exactly
the same until the scale is dis-
solved.
6. Rinse the cleaned filter thor-
oughly and remount.
7. Min filter mesh size 800µ ->
1500μ.
2.2 Before a longer
production stop
If long production stops are
planned (more than 6 months) and
the pump is drained, it is recom-
mended that the pump is secured
as follows:
1. Remove the coupling safety
guard.
2. Spray a couple of drops of sili-
cone oil onto the axle between
the top section and the cou-
pling.
Carefully follow the instructions
given in the manual provided by
the pump supplier.

3. Start

3.1 New system

In order to ensure a problem-free
start up of a new system the pipe
system must be flushed and bled.
Bleeding the pipe system
1. Turn on the water supply to
rinse and bleed the entire sys-
tem. If satellites are installed
0627106
open the tap furthest away
until no air or dirt comes out.
Then rinse and bleed the next
tap and continue until the tap
closest to you has been rinsed
and bled.
2. Mount satellites, if any
Bleeding the pump
3. Press "0" on the control panel
to stop the Booster.
4. Loosen the relief plug (A,
Fig34) 1-2 revolutions until
water and air begin to flow out.
Note. Never loosen the relief
plug while the pump is running
as this may damage the pack-
ing and cause personal injury.
5. Tighten the relief plug again
6. Start the pump so that all re-
maining air pockets are forced
up to the top of the pump.

7. Stop the pump.
8. Loosen the relief plug 1-2
revolutions again and bleed
the system until only water
flows out.
9. Tighten the relief plug once
more.
The Booster is now ready for
operation. Press "I" on the control
panel. (see fig. 4).

4. Daily operation

4.1 Start
1. Check that water supplies for
the system are open.
2. Press "I" on the control board
in order to start up the unit.

4.2 Stop

1. Press "0" on the control panel
to stop.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Switch off the air supply.
Note. Due to the following it is very
important always to switch off both
water and air supply after use:
• If the air supply is open when
the main station or satellites are
not in use, air might leak into
the water line. If this happens,
the system must be bled once
more.
• The water separator, which is a
part of the air regulator, is only
to be emptied when the air sup-
ply is closed.
After a long time production stop
(holidays etc) it might be necessary
to bleed the piping system and the
booster unit again.
