Pump installation and warranty guide

for the FORCE range of pumps

Important – read this ﬁrst!

Correct installation is the guarantee of safety and a

trouble free system. It is therefore important to read

these instructions thoroughly and ensure you comply

with them. Incorrect ﬁtting can invalidate the warranty.

If your installation is complicated or you have any questions please

CONSULT THE PUMPWISE HELPLINE IMMEDIATELY. If you are

calling from site and need urgent technical guidance, say so

– and we will prioritise a return call.

We encourage installers to consult Salamander’s PumpWise helpline,

where our engineers can give you ﬁrst-rate advice regarding

installation. Consulting the helpline will entitle your customer to

an additional two years warranty FREE (UK only) – all you have to

do is to implement our engineer’s recommendations for your

installation situation and ask your customer to register.

When the job is ﬁnished tear off the ﬁnal page of this instruction

manual and hand it to the householder. This page explains the

warranty provisions and provides a pre-paid warranty card. Don’t

forget that if you have called our helpline you should also complete

the comments section of the card to say how you rate the service

you received.

Please leave this instruction booklet with the customer

for reference to maintenance and safety information.

Thank you for choosing

Salamander Pumps.

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.

Do not use Salamander pumps for

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.

Please note that:

• FORCE 15 PT, 15 IPT,

FORCE 20 PT, 20 IPT, 20 PS, 20 IPS,

FORCE 30 PT, 30 IPT, 30 PS and 30 IPS

are shower speciﬁc pumps.

• FORCE 15 TU, 15 ITU,

FORCE 20 TU, 20 ITU, 20 SU, 20 ISU,

FORCE 30 TU, 30 ITU, 30 SU and 30 ISU

are universal pumps.

• Inlets and outlets are vertical.

It is essential to ensure that:

The cold stored water capacity is adequate

for the entire household requirements

(minimum 50 gallons per bathroom,

80 gallons for one bathroom plus an en

suite shower room).

There is a maximum static head of 15 metres.

Cold supplies to the cylinder and the pump

are taken from the opposite side of the cold

water storage tank to the cold mains inlet.

The bottom of the cold water storage tank

must also be checked and cleared of debris.

In systems with more than two bathrooms,

the cold water supply to the cylinder must be

in 28mm pipework.

Multiple cold water storage tanks must be

linked in 28mm pipework with the bottoms

of the tanks level.

Never put a non-return valve, inverted loop,

restricted baloﬁx or an air vent on the supply

pipework to the pump.

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.

10 Check the marker arrows on the pump

to ensure correct direction of water ﬂow.

Either end of the pump is suitable for hot

or cold water.

11 Check the static inlet and outlet heads

of water above the pump to ensure

maximum limits are not exceeded.

12 The hot supply pipework to the pump

should be a maximum of 5 metres in

22mm pipe (hot and cold supplies should

be no more than 2 metres in 15mm pipe).

Exclusive hot and cold supplies to the

pump with the hot from a Salamander

approved cylinder ﬂange. Exceptions are:

• hot supply – from the vent angled at

45º, vertically down the hot connection

at the vent, at least 1.5 metres below

the base of the cold water storage tank

(Figure 5).

• alternatively, the hot and cold supplies to

the pump can be teed off other 22/28mm

supplies (Figure 6) provided that:

• the tee off to the pump is ﬁrst call.

• the cold supply to the pump is

not shared with the cold feed to

the cylinder.

13 The best hot connection from the

cylinder (Figure 3) is either with:

• a ¾ inch no stop Essex ﬂange, or

• a Salamander S ﬂange or other

approved top entry ﬂange.

14 Never ﬁt to top entry ﬂange if the pump

is ﬁtted above the cylinder.

15 Check that water storage capacity

meets required ﬂow rates, particularly

at peak demand (i.e. appliances in

simultaneous use).

16 All up and over pipework must be

vented at the highest point on the outlet

of the pump.

17 Ensure pipe runs minimise airlocks.

18 In positive head systems, allow for

increased resistance of long pipe runs

with multiple bends. The natural ﬂow

from the shower head or other outlets

must be at least 1 litre in 30 seconds or

2 litres in 30 seconds mixed.

Negative head systems

Negative head systems are where no natural

ﬂow of water goes to the shower head

because it is above the height of the base

of the cold water tank. Most instances

of negative head systems occur in loft

conversions or where the cold water tank

sits on the joists in the loft. If the distance

between the bottom of the cold water tank

and the shower head is 2 feet or less it is also

possible that a negative head pump will be

required. The negative head range of pumps

activate the pump automatically even where

no natural ﬂow exists.

FORCE pumps suitable for negative head

operation are the FORCE 15 TU, 15 ITU,

20 TU, 20 ITU, 20 SU, 20 ISU, 30 TU, 30 ITU,

30 SU and 30 ISU.

Step 2: Connecting the pump

Use only Salamander supplied hoses to

connect the pump.

The in-line strainers must be ﬁtted to the hot

and cold inlet supplies to the pump.

It is critical to discharge water through the

pump into a container 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.

All associated pipework MUST be thoroughly

ﬂushed before making ﬁnal connections to

the pump. Fill the pump with water before

connecting to the discharge pipework.

A Hose to pipework

All FORCE pumps are ﬁtted with ¾ inch

BSP x 22mm push ﬁt connectors with

built in isolating valves.

The anti-vibration coupler nuts need only

be ﬁnger tight plus one quarter turn.

Mechanical tools must not be used to

tighten coupler nuts as this may cause

damage which will invalidate the warranty.

B Hose to pump

Do not twist or bend anti-vibration hoses as

this will invalidate the warranty.
