    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.
  • Page 7 of the cisterns level. Never put a non-return valve, restricted ballofix or an air vent on the supply pipework to the pump. The stored hot water temperature must not exceed 60ºC. Ensure that the hot supply to the pump is via a Salamander approved method. (Figure 2, 4 & 5 Pages 5&7).
  • Page 8: Step 1: Pump Location

    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 8. Check the marker arrows on the pump to ensure correct direction of water flow. Either end of the pump is suitable for hot or cold water. 9. Check the static inlet pressure does not exceed 10m max (1.0bar/100kPa) of water above the pump.
  • Page 10 Negative head systems Negative head systems exist where insufficient 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.

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.
  • Page 12: Step 2: Connecting The Pump

    Step 2: Connecting the pump Use only Salamander supplied AV couplers to connect the pump. All associated pipework MUST be thoroughly flushed before making final connections to the pump. Fill the pump with water before connecting to the discharge pipework. The in-line strainers must be fitted to the hot and cold inlet supplies to the pump.
  • Page 13: Step 3: Electrical Installation

    Step 3: Electrical installation Your pump must be connected to the electrical supply using the main cable with the attached plug. This plug must be connected to an accessible socket that has been installed in compliance with IET Wiring Regulations. The plug must be accessible at all times.
