Your Watermill Shower Pump has been designed, manufactured and carefully tested in
England.
If correctly installed and not misused, it will give many years of reliable service.
To ensure satisfactory operation, we ask that you read the instructions before
commencing installation. Then car ry out, in sequence, each step as described.
The Important Instructions MUST be followed, otherwise the pump may be damaged
and your guarantee invalidated.
All transformers are fitted with auto resetting thermal cutouts. If the transformer overheats
for any reason, the thermal cutout will switch the pump off. The cutout will automatically turn
on again when the transformer has cooled down.
For the ANHPC60DLV see supplementary Negative Head Instuctions.
If soldering pipe joints do not allow solder flux to come in contact with the plastic parts of
the pump. The plastic will corrode and cause serious leaks.
1.
Do not connect pump to water mains pressure. The pump cannot be used with
combination boilers.
2.
Select a position for installing the pump which affords easy access for subsequent
servicing and maintenance. This shower pump is fitted with carbon/ceramic mechanical long
life seals which, in some circumstances, can leak. Although this is very unlikely, when
locating the pump, position to mitigate against possible water damage.
3.
The pump must have a supply head of at least 2 metres. If the pump is to be installed
in the loft, the height from the top of the water in the cold water storage tank must be at
least 2 metres above the inlet to the pump.
4.
Do not use any jointing compounds such as Boss White, abrasive compounds will
cause the seals to leak.
5.
The flexible hoses supplied must be used to connect the pump – do not connect any
pipework directly to the pump. The filters must be used on inlet connections.
6.
Complete all pipework before making electrical connections – do not let any water into
the electric terminal box.
7.
Do not run pump dry – purge with water thoroughly for 5 minutes before running pump.
8.
After completing installation, the whole system must be thoroughly tested – operating
both hot and cold at full flow. Also check water temperature stability. Then thoroughly check
each connection is tight and not leaking.
9.
Maximum hot water temperature must not exceed 60˚C. The hot water supply to the
pump should be connected from the first outlet from the hot water cylinder expansion pipe.
10.
We recommend that all flexible hoses and connections are inspected at least every 6
months. Replace as necessary to prevent leaks.
Select a position for installing the pump which affords easy access for future servicing and
maintenance.
Pumps operate better when pumping (pushing) water rather than drawing (sucking)
water. For this reason, keep the pump as close as possible to the source of both hot and cold
water. Also keep the pump as low, and the water head as high, as possible.
