My Acer is looking sick with white edges to it's red leaves.
It has been watered copiously, do it require a specific feed ?

No it probably do not. It sounds like wind burn or more likely sun scorch.
Move it to a semi shaded or full shaded area for a while and give the
leaves a misting.
Do you know the specific variety of Acer?

Rupert,

Thanks....It's Acer palmatum Atropurpurea.

That one will take a reasonable amount of sun but is fine in semi shade. The
singeing of the leaves is very noticeable on that darker variety.
