Maintenance - Salamander Pumps AccuBoost Series Installation And Warranty Manual

9. Maintenance

Disconnect electrical supply before working on pump (on pumped versions). Turn off
water supply to the unit, completely empty the vessel of water by opening outlets before
attempting any maintenance.
Cleaning the filters
The inline strainer filter and filter washer (pumped units) should be cleaned at regular
intervals to allow the free flow of water into the system. It is recommended that the filters
are cleaned at least once a year. The filter should be cleaned as follows: -
1. Isolate pump electrically (on pumped versions)
2. Isolate the mains water supply via the stopcock
3. Release system water pressure by opening an outlet (tap) and allow the vessel to
fully empty
4. Unscrew the inline strainer filter cover (some residual water may be released when
cover is unscrewed)
5. Remove the filter and clean out any debris
6. Replace filter and tighten cover, ensuring that the o-ring makes a watertight seal
7. For pumped units, the filter washer on the inlet to the pump should also be cleaned.
Loosen the inlet nut as shown below in Figure 12.
Remove the filter washer and clean out any debris.
Replace the filter washer.
Tighten the nut.
8. Open the mains stopcock and any isolators. Turn on electrical power (on pumped versions)
9. Check for correct operation and ensure there are no leaks in the system
