The stored hot water temperature must not
exceed 65ºC.
Ensure that the hot supply to the pump is via
a Salamander approved method.
Step 1: Pump location
1 Site the pump in a location where it will
not freeze or be exposed to frost
during cold weather.
2 Ensure adequate air flow to cool the
motor. Separate the pump from other
appliances that generate heat. Install the
pump in a clear space allowing 100mm
at each side, end and top.
3 If possible, site the pump in a location
where leaks can be contained and would
cause minimal damage.
4 Avoid locating the pump close to electrics.
5 Avoid situations that may create an excess
of static pressure on the pump.
6 Ensure the pump is as close to the water
supply as possible.
7 Mount the pump upright (shaft
horizontal, not screwed down).
8 Do not install the pump in a bathroom
unless it is enclosed within a space that is
accessible only with the use of a tool.
9 An anti-gravity loop (Figure 4) off a no
stop Essex flange must be fitted to all
systems where the pump is mounted
above the hot outlet from the cylinder.
In such systems, hot water temperature
must not exceed 65ºC.

must not come into contact with the pump
or anti-vibration hoses.
The anti-vibration hoses must not be twisted
or bent.
Higher rated fuses must not be used.
