 Run system on full hot with pump switched off (i.e. gravity 

only) for several minutes
 Check cold water storage is correct for installation and pump 

is fitted to Salamander instructions
Ensure cold water refill rate is adequate for installation
 Check that vents are fitted as described in instructions

Wrong size pump for 

system

 Ensure pump is sufficient to run the equipment

Hot temp set too high

 Reduce cylinder stat setting to 60ºC max or fit HWS/TMV

Check for leaks

Outlet open

Ensure all outlets are fully closed or capped – i.e. no dead legs  

in pipework

Pump is noisy

water pressure

 Check that installation complies with Salamander instructions

Pump has suffered 

chemical damage

 Ensure that the pump has not come into contact with chemical 

substance i.e. solder flux

excessive temperature

 Is effective temp control fitted (cylinder stat or HWS/TMV 

valve)?

Pump appears to have 

leaked but not sure

Check leak is not from fitting in pipework above pump
