Retro Fitting A Pump To An Unpumped Unit - Salamander Pumps AccuBoost Series Installation And Warranty Manual

10. Retro Fitting a Pump to an Unpumped Unit

If an unpumped unit has been installed and there is a requirement for a pumped version, a
pump can be retrofitted (Salamander Pumps part code ACC-UPG-KIT), as long as all of the
criteria within this manual are adhered to. IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY A SALAMANDER PUMPS
ACCUBOOST PUMP (ACC-UPG-KIT) CAN BE RETROFITTED - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIT ANY
OTHER PUMP INCLUDING THOSE FROM THE OTHER SALAMANDER PUMPS RANGES. For
more information, please consult PumpWise on 0191 516 2002.
To fit the pump: -
1. Isolate the mains water supply via the stopcock and release system water pressure by
opening a system outlet (tap) and allow the vessel to empty.
2. Remove the brass vessel connector.
3. The brass vessel connector should be checked to ensure that it contains 1x washer, 1x
flow regulator and 2x non-return valves. If the vessel connector does not contain these,
they should be inserted as shown. Correct orientation of the non-return valves and flow
restrictor is crucial for correct operation, refer to Figure 14 below for correct orientation.
The correct flow restrictor for the size of the vessel should be used, please refer to
Table 2 for the correct flow restrictor for the vessel size. A flow restrictor kit is available
from Salamander Pumps, part code FLO-RES-KIT. Reconnect the brass vessel connector to
the vessel.
