Product Description

Salamander pumps are suitable for pressure boosting vented stored water systems but
please note that inlet pressures to the pump and water temperatures must not exceed values
stated in the technical specifications.

Installation instructions

Please follow these installation instructions carefully. Failure to install your pump in
accordance with these instructions will invalidate your warranty. Any queries should be
directed to PumpWise on 0191 516 2002 (01844-3212 ROI).
Do not use Salamander pumps for applications other than those stated within the pump
description, or connect the pump directly to the cold mains.
To do so invalidates the warranty.
The plumbing installation must comply with "The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations
1999", "BS 6700", and building regulations.
Salamander pumps should be installed by a competent person and supervision in their use
should be given to children or anyone with impaired physical or mental capabilities

It is essential to ensure that: The cold stored water capacity is adequate for the entire
household requirements (eg minimum 136 litres (30 gal) for shower only, 227 litres (50 gal)
per bathroom, or 364 litres (80 gal) for one bathroom plus an en-suite shower room).
There is a maximum static head of 10 metres (100kPa/1.0Bar).
Cold supplies to the cylinder and the pump are taken from the opposite side of the cold
water storage cistern to the cold mains inlet. The bottom of the cold water storage cistern
must also be checked and cleared of debris (Figure 1).

In systems with more than two bathrooms,
the cold water supply to the cylinder must
be in 28mm pipework.
Multiple cold water storage cisterns must
be linked in accordance with the current
