Pre-installation Checklist
Our pre-installation guidelines are detailed on the following pages, but some of the key
“do’s and don’ts” are highlighted below:
Do’s
!
Locate the pump next to the hot water cylinder within 5m. For pumps with
15mm couplers, 2m MAX of 15mm pipework on inlet connections may be used.
!
Allow 100mm on all sides for ventilation
!
Ensure pump is protected from frost
!
If servicing two or more bathrooms, cold water supply to the cylinder
must be in 28mm pipework
!
Ensure adequate cold water storage (227 litres (50 gal) per bathroom,
364 litres (80 gal) for one bathroom and one en-suite)
!
Cold water supplies to the pump must be taken from the opposite side of
the cold water storage cistern to the cold water mains inlet
!
Multiple cold water storage cisterns must be linked in accordance with current
plumbing regulations and the bottom of the cisterns must be at the same level
!
Hot water supply to the pump must be via a Salamander approved method.
!
AV couplers must only be finger tight plus one quarter turn
!
The maximum static head should be 10m (equivalent to 1.0bar pressure)
!
We recommend the pump is activated for at least 5 minutes every 4 weeks
to ensure pump does not seize.
!
Ensure that installation complies with IET wiring regulations.
!
All AV hoses should be fitted straight with no twists or bends.
!
Ensure suitable means of isolation for maintenance
!
Bathroom Zones: Salamander products covered in these notes cannot be installed
in Zone 0 or Zone 1. They can however be installed in areas that are accessible with
a tool. (see Step 1 Pump Location for further information (Fig 5))
