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.
- 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.
