Product description
Salamander pumps are suitable for pressure
boosting vented stored water systems
to the whole house but please note that
inlet pressures to the pump and water
temperatures must not exceed values stated
in the technical specifications.
Installation instructions
Please follow these installation instructions
carefully. Failure to install your pump in
accordance with these instructions will
invalidate your warranty.

applications other than those stated within
the pump description, or connect the
pump directly to the cold mains. To do so
invalidates the warranty.
Salamander pumps should be installed by
appropriately qualified and/or experienced
people and supervision in their use should
be given to children or anyone with impaired
physical or mental capabilities.
