    1 IMPORTANT FACTS: READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION A Water storage capacity. 1.11 The SPU Maxi has a usable water volume of approximately 18 litres; the length of time the SPU takes to pressurise a system will be dependent on:- The pressure differential between the cold fill and set pressures and also the refill rate of the tank 1.12...
  • Page 6: Location

    2 LOCATION – GENERAL 2.11 Location: The preferred SPU Maxi location is on a smooth level floor, of sufficient strength to support the filled weight of the SPU Maxi, close to the water source and a suitable overflow position (see Section 9 – Technical Specification for filled weight). The SPU Maxi must not be installed in a loft space.
  • Page 7 2.19 Static outlet pressure: The static outlet head must be 3 metres below pump maximum cold fill pressure (vertically above the appliance). 2.20 Isolating valves: Separate system isolating valves (non-restrictive) must be fitted to allow easy service of the SPU Maxi. Isolating valves must be mounted where specified to allow the system isolation and removal of the SPU Maxi if needed.
