Step 1: Pump location 1. Site the pump in a location where it will not freeze or be exposed to frost during cold weather. 2. Ensure adequate airflow to cool the motor. Separate the pump from other appliances that generate heat. Install the pump in a clear space allowing 100mm at each side, end and top. 3. - Page 9 10. The hot supply pipework to the pump should be a maximum length of 5 metres in 22mm pipe (hot and cold supplies should be no more than 2 metres in 15mm pipe). 11. Exclusive hot and cold supplies to the pump with the hot from a Salamander approved method.
- Page 10 Negative head systems Negative head systems exist where no natural flow of water goes to the outlet because either the outlet or the pipework to the outlet are above the height of the base of the cold water cistern. Most instances of negative head systems occur in loft conversions or where the cold water cistern sits on the joists in the loft.
- Page 11 Commissioning Before you finish Fit pump inlet filters and vibration dampening feet. It is CRITICAL to discharge water through the pump into a container using natural flow before connecting the pump to outlet pipework in order to ensure the air has been discharged from inlet pipework and pump chambers.
