General specifications
Applications
The CombiBoost pump is designed to boost low mains water pressure into a domestic house
to improve low water flow from the mains supply at peak demand times. It can be used in two
distinct applications:
1. Boosting the incoming mains water supply to a whole house
2. Boosting the inlet mains water supply solely to a combination (combi) boiler.
CombiBoost will increase the low incoming water flow up to 10 l/min which complies with
the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. As the incoming flow varies, the
CombiBoost will adapt to maintain 10 l/min, and will move into idle if sufficient flow is
received from the water main.
Power supply
230 volts, 50Hz, 1.8A, continuously rated.
Pump noise
With the technical advances achieved in the CombiBoost pump, Salamander has taken
another step forward in supplying all our customers with even quieter centrifugal pumps.
However, no pump is completely silent and this type of pump is characterised by a high
pitched hum or whine.
Mechanical seals
Scale deposits in water supplies can cause the mechanical seal to stick if left for long periods
without use. We recommend that the pump be run for at least five minutes every four weeks
to ‘exercise’ all the working parts. Your pump will also activate itself for a few seconds
following 12 hours of inactivity to aid this.
Connections
¾
” BSP male.
Initiation
Fully automatic, water flow operated, requiring 3 litres per minute flow rate to initiate.
Temperature
CombiBoost is suitable for cold water use only. Maximum fluid temperature is UK cold water
mains temperature (max 20°C).
