Twin-ended
Shower Booster Pump
DURASPEED, VARISPEED 50, DURASPEED 2
& SINGLESPEED (Fig. 1.)
Twin booster pumps are best installed in the airing cupboard with separate hot and
cold water supplies running to the pump. For correct operation of the shower
pumps both hot and cold water supplies to the unit must be gravity fed, at
nominally equal pressures; cold water from a cold water storage tank and hot water
from a hot water storage cylinder fed from a cold water storage tank.
Single-ended
Shower Booster Pump
VARISPEED SI (Fig. 2.)
Single Booster pumps are best installed after the mixing valve with blended hot
and cold water running to the pump and then onto the handset position. With a
recessed installation, the outlet from the mixer valve can be fed to the inlet of the
single ended pump, and the pump outlet connected to the shower hose, normally
via a shower hose union elbow. See page 4 for gravity hot water boost only.
Plumbing
• We recommend a minimum 115 litres (25 gallon) cold water storage tank, but
please ensure compliance with all water by-laws.
•Under no circumstances must the pump be connected to the mains cold
water supply.
•Do not use jointing compounds
•Before proceeding with the installation of this unit, it is essential to check that
the handset and all pipework will be a minimum of 230mm (9") below the water
level in the cold water storage tank.
•If your installation does not allow this, you will require a negative head switch.
Contact your supplier or NewTeam Customer Services. If you have not sourced
your negative head switch from NewTeam, please contact NewTeam Customer
Service for a connection block. Please refer to page 9 for details of negative
head installation.
•Please ensure that the shower pump and mixing valve are not positioned
in areas subjected to freezing conditions.

Electrical
IMPORTANT: This appliance must be earthed. This unit should be installed in
accordance with the 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
The pump must be connected to a 230 volt a.c. supply, fused at 3 amps, via double
pole isolator with a contact separation of at least 3mm.
It is recommended that your installation is protected by a residual current device
(RCD) with a trip rating of no more than 30mA
Connections:
All pumps are supplied with a fitted flex.
The colour of the wires in the cable used for final connection of this appliance
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your flex outlet; connection at the appliance and the flex outlet should proceed
as follows.
The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with
the letter N, or coloured black.
The wire that is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked
with the letter L, or coloured red.
The wire that is coloured green/yellow must be connected to the terminal that is
marked with the letter E, or the earth symbol , or coloured green.
The flex fitted to the pumps can only be replaced by NewTeam,
part no. SP-088-0502.
IMPORTANT: WHEN REPLACING FLEX ENSURE THAT THE CONTROL BOX
COVER IS REPLACED WITHOUT DAMAGING THE NEW CABLES. THE CABLE
GROMMET SHOULD BE USED WHERE THE CABLE ENTERS THE BOX.
VARISPEED SI: BOOST OF GRAVITY HOT ONLY (Fig. 3.)
If you are installing a Varispeed SI, where only a gravity feed is available on the hot
supply, the pump can be used to boost the gravity hot supply only. All storage
capacities and pipe connections (as detailed in fig.2) should be followed. The outlet
feed from the pump should then run to the mixer valve or tap position, ensuring that
the minimum head of 230mm to the handset can be achieved.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST ANY OF THE PUMPS BE CONNECTED TO
THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY .

Important:
Please be aware of the following when planning your installation :
•All plumbing should be completed before any electrical connections are
undertaken.
•The pump must be positioned in a dry area i.e. in a linen/airing cupboard, as close
to the base of the hot cylinder as possible, ideally pushing water not pulling. The
pump will work most efficiently when fitted close to the hot water cylinder.
•The pump must not be mounted in a loft, as this leaves it vulnerable to
freezing, and air locks.
•The pump should be in a well-ventilated position and not covered with towels,
clothes, etc., and accessible for future servicing/maintenance.
•The pump can be connected to a combination cylinder system providing it
has a cold water storage capacity of 115 litres.
•When connecting pipework avoid using elbows. Sweep or formed bends will
ensure optimum performance.
•Do not solder within 300mm of the pump, or expose parts to excessive heat.
•Do not run pump dry.
•The minimum inlet size is 15mm for all pipework to and from the pump.
•Non restrictive full bore isolating valves (accessible for ease of maintenance on hot
and cold supplies to the pump) must be fitted e.g gate valve.
•In normal circumstances the temperature of stored water must not exceed
65˚C. A stored water temperature of 60˚C is considered sufficient to meet all
normal requirements and will minimise limescale in hard water areas.
IMPORTANT THE BOOSTER PUMP AND ALL CONNECTING PIPEWORK
MUST BE EARTHED.
Installation Procedure:
IMPORTANT:
Do not connect brass or copper fittings directly on to the pump threads. Use only the
hoses supplied with the pump.
1. Isolate appropriate water and electrical supplies. For the benefit of the user and
for any future servicing please fit full bore isolating valves 1/2 metre from the
pump on the inlet pipework.
2. Make your connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder,
ensuring that it is in the vertical pipe (below the expansion pipe tee).
A minimum of 1 metre below the base of the cold water storage tank and the
top of the hot water cylinder must be achieved. (See Fig.1. for typical pump
installation)
3. If this is not possible, a direct connection must be made from the hot water
cylinder with an Essex Flange with dip tube. (See Fig.4)
4. TWIN PUMPS ONLY: The cold water supply should be taken directly from the
cold storage tank, and must be positioned 60mm below the cold feed connection
to the hot water cylinder. (See Fig.1. for a typical twin pump installation)

the inlets. Ensure not to kink the flexible hoses.
•Either end inlet can be used for hot or cold.
IMPORTANT: The integral fittings on the hose are of the push fit type. All
burrs and rough edges must be removed from the end of the pipe. In the
case of a chrome-plated tube, the first 25mm of plating should be
roughened or removed. Should it be necessary to remove the pipe after
installation, push down the grey collet. (Fig 5a)
2. Connect fitted flex into fused spur outlet, in accordance with the ‘Electrics’
chapter.
3. Either by hand or using a coin, rotate boost control (2) fully anti-clockwise, to

Where the shower handset or pipework from the pump to the shower, is less than
230mm below the water level in the cold water tank, or in cases where it is above
the water level, there will be no natural flow to lift the flow switches and start the
pump. A negative head kit will be required to manually start the pump (Fig.9).
NewTeam Customer Services can supply a negative head kit, part no. 564-1000. If
NewTeam have not supplied your negative head switch, please contact NewTeam
Customer Services for a special connection block.
PROCEDURE
Instructions: Fit the electric pull cord switch adjacent to the showering area
(Fig. 10). Using 1.0mm2twin and earth cable (not supplied), connect the earth wire
to the earth terminal (using a suitable length of green/yellow sleeving) and the
remaining two wires to the L1 and L2 terminals in the pull cord switch. Run the
cable to the pump and then connect the earth wire (using a suitable length of
green/yellow sleeving) to the earth terminal and the remaining two wires to the
connection block on FS1 or FS2 (Fig. 10.). Connect to only FS1 or FS2 NOT
BOTH. Ensure that the original flow switch wires are reterminated in the new
connection block.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT THE CONTROL BOX COVER CAN BE REPLACED
WITHOUT DAMAGING THE NEW CABLE. A CABLE GROMMET SHOULD BE
USED WHERE THE CABLE ENTERS THE BOX.

Commissioning –All Pumps
•Turn on the water supplies and allow system to fill -
DO NOT SWITCH ON ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT:
All NewTeam pumps utilise quality ceramic water seals. To prevent damage it is
essential that water is allowed to flow through both pump chambers to purge
out any airpockets prior to the unit being switched on.
1. Turn on mixer valve, and allow the water to flow through hose without the fitted
handset under gravity flow in full hot and cold positions for approximately one
minute to ensure no foreign matter is left in pipes and the system is purged of air.
2. At this point we recommend checking the inlet filters for debris, which should
be cleaned if required, thus ensuring the best long term performance from
the shower.
NOTE: Remember to isolate the water supply before removing the hoses to
check the filters.
3. Switch on electricity supply to pump.
4. Turn on mixer valve (pump should start) and operate at full flow for a further minute
or until all remaining air is purged from the system.
NOTE: For negative head installation, operate the starting switch for long
enough for air to purge from flow switches.
5. Turn off mixer valve and attach handset to hose. The commissioning procedure is
now complete.
NOTE: All of the Pumps apart from Singlespeed incorporate a variable speed
control, which should be set to suit the users requirements and to achieve
optimum performance through the handset. Turn the control anti-clockwise to
increase and clockwise to decrease the output. Do not use excessive force. We
recommend the pump runs at the minimum speed necessary to give satisfactory
performance (normally 10-12 litres of water per minute). Running the pump at
too high an output can waste hot water and increase noise from the pump motor.
Troubleshooting
In the event that the system will not operate follow this procedure:
•Is the pump switched on?
•Check all fuses and electricity supply.
•Is water supply reaching pump? Check isolating valves are turned on.
Check cold water storage tank has not run dry.
•Shower runs cold. Check that there is sufficient hot water in the cylinder.
•Check inlet and outlet pipework is connected correctly.
•Motor may have overheated. Switch off mains and allow the pump to cool and it
will auto re-set. Check for adequate ventilation around pump.
•Is handset and all pipework 230mm (9 inches) below the level of water in the cold
water storage tank? If not, a negative head kit will be required. See page 8.
•Remove the inlet adaptor couplings to the pump and flush out any debris from
the integral filters, remembering to isolate the water supplies. If system will
still not run, contact NewTeam Customer Service Department [phone].
