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.
