Fit pump inlet filters and vibration dampening feet.

 

It is CRITICAL to discharge water through the pump into a container using natural flow 

before connecting the pump to outlet pipework in order to ensure the air has been 

discharged from inlet pipework and pump chambers. This will not happen if the outlet 

pipework is connected to the pump. The best method is:-

•  Connect discharge pipework, not outlet pipes.

• 

Check that all the AV coupler isolating valves are open.

•  Fill system. Check for leaks.

  DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY – to do so will cause irreparable damage to your pump and will 

invalidate your warranty.

•  Open shower mixer valve/system outlets to maximum hot and cold to check the natural 

flow (unpumped) MUST be at least 1 litre in 30 seconds per side and 2 litres in 30 seconds 

mixed.

•  Open hot water outlets fully for 5 to 6 seconds and then turn outlets off. Then open cold 

water outlets fully for 5 to 6 seconds and turn outlets off. If flow is poor and inconsistent 

repeat above steps until flow is steady.

•  Repeat 2-3 times

Negative head systems 

Negative head systems exist where insufficient natural flow of water goes to the outlet 

because either the outlet or the pipework to the outlet are above the height of the base of 

the cold water cistern. Most instances of negative head systems occur in loft conversions 

or where the cold water cistern sits on the joists in the loft. If the distance between the 

bottom of the cold water cistern and the highest point in the system after the pump is 2 

feet (610mm) or less, it is also possible that a universal pump will be required. Salamander’s 

universal range of pumps activate the pump automatically even where insufficient natural 

flow exists.
UK CT pumps suitable for negative head operation are: 

CT FORCE 15 TU, 20 TU, 20 SU, 30 TU and 30 SU, and CT Bathroom 60BU & 80BU. 
Irish CT pumps suitable for negative head operation are: 

CT FORCE 15 ITU, 20 ITU, 20 ISU, 30 ITU and 30 ISU, and CT Xtra 64HU, 69HU & 84HU.
