Product Description
Salamander pumps are suitable for pressure boosting vented stored water systems 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. Any queries should be
directed to PumpWise on 0191 516 2002 (01844-3212 ROI).
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.
The plumbing installation must comply with “The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations
1999”, “BS 6700”, and building regulations.
Salamander pumps should be installed by a competent person and supervision in their use
should be given to children or anyone with impaired physical or mental capabilities
Please note that:
• CT Xtra 50, 50+, 54, 75, 75+ & 79 are shower specific pumps.
• CT FORCE 15 PT, 15 IPT, 20 PT, 20 IPT, 30 PT & 30 IPT, CT Bathroom 60B, 80B, and CT
Xtra 64H, 69H & 84H are whole house pumps

It is essential to ensure that: The cold stored water capacity is adequate for the entire
household requirements (eg minimum 136 litres (30 gal) for shower only, 227 litres (50 gal)
per bathroom, or 364 litres (80 gal) for one bathroom plus an en-suite shower room).
There is a maximum static head of 10 metres (100kPa/1.0Bar).
Cold supplies to the cylinder and the pump are taken from the opposite side of the cold
water storage cistern to the cold mains inlet. The bottom of the cold water storage cistern
must also be checked and cleared of debris (Figure 1).
In systems with more than two bathrooms,
the cold water supply to the cylinder must
be in 28mm pipework.
Multiple cold water storage cisterns must
be linked in accordance with the current
plumbing regulations with the bottom
of the cisterns level.

8. 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.
9. Check the static inlet pressure does not exceed 10m max (1.0bar/100kPa) of water
above the pump.
10. The hot supply pipework to the pump should be a maximum length of 5 metres in 22mm pipe
(hot and cold supplies should be no more than 2 metres in 15mm pipe).
11. Exclusive hot and cold supplies to the pump with the hot from a Salamander approved method.
Exceptions, only when pump is at the base of the cylinder and within 5m, 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 cistern (Figure 6).
• alternatively, the hot and cold supplies to the pump can be teed off other 22/28mm
supplies (Figure 7) provided that:
• the tee off to the pump is first call on the downward leg after the vent connection.
• the cold supply to the pump is not shared with the cold feed to the cylinder.
12. The best hot connection from the cylinder (figure 3) is either with:
a ¾inch no stop Essex flange, or a Salamander S flange or other approved top entry flange is
fitted.
13. Check that water storage capacity recovery meets required flow rates, particularly at peak
demand (i.e. appliances in simultaneous use).
14. All up and over pipework must be vented at the highest point on the outlet of the pump.
15. Ensure that pipe runs minimise airlocks.
16. 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 2litres/minute at all
times. Any supply where the natural flow is less than 2litres/minute is classed as a negative
head situation.
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 airflow 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. Care must be taken not to endanger pre-existing electrics when siting your Salamander pump
4. Ensure the pump is as close to the hot water cylinder as possible & no more than 5m in
measured pipework away.
5. Mount the pump upright (shaft horizontal, not screwed down).
6. An anti-gravity loop (AGL) of at least 400mm (ideally using swept bends) must be used
when the pump is sited above the dome of the hot water cylinder as it prevents air tracking
up into the pump chamber and back siphoning of the water again, creating air in the pump
chamber. An approved side or top entry flange must be used in these circumstances for the
hot water connection to the cylinder, with the Essex or alternative side entry flange being the
recommended method of connection. If the pump experiences aeration or low pressure as
result of poor flow to the pump with the use of a top entry flange, a side entry or Essex flange
may become a requirement.
7. Bathroom Zones: Salamander products covered in these notes cannot be installed
in Zone 0 or Zone 1. They can however be installed in areas that are accessible with
a tool. (See figure 5)
The pump should be installed in accordance with BS7671:2018.
In BS7671:2018 rooms containing baths or showers should be broken down into zones.
These zones are summarised as:
ZONE 0 – This is the bath or shower tray
ZONE 1 – Is considered to be the area where the individual is bathing or showering
or the area where shower water is likely to be directly sprayed.
ZONE 2 – Is the area beyond Zone 1, extending by a further 600mm.
Please refer to BS7671:2018 for further guidance.

Commissioning
Before you finish
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 NOTRUN 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, 30TU 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.

Step 3: Electrical installation
Your pump must be connected to the electrical supply using the main cable with the
attached plug. This plug must be connected to an accessible socket that has been installed in
compliance with IET Wiring Regulations.
The plug must be accessible at all times.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, it’s service agent,
or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
All pipe work must be cross-bonded in accordance with the IET Regulations.
The pump is supplied with a fuse fitted. Higher rate fuses MUST NOT be used.
If installed by a Part P qualified installer, the pump may be fitted via a fused mains spur
without invalidating the warranty. See Technical Specifications for fuse ratings for each
model of pump. Ensure that the pump is fully operational before hard wiring pump in this
instance, this should be done during commissioning.
Step 2: Connecting the pump
Use only Salamander supplied AV couplers to connect 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.
The in-line strainers must be fitted to the hot and cold inlet supplies to the pump.
A Hose to pipework
The anti-vibration coupler nuts need only
be finger tight plus one quarter turn.
Mechanical tools must not be used to
tighten plastic 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.
Ensure that there are suitable means of
isolation for maintenance
Filter washers MUST be fitted to the inlets of the pump to validate your warranty.
Flat washers must be fitted to the outlets. Flat and filter washers are supplied with
the pump.

Water starvation protection
In systems where it is absolutely not
possible to increase the usable cold water
storage capacity to meet the increased
demand of a pumped system; a water
starvation protection unit (WSP) may be
considered (See fig 11).
The WSP is a Salamander level switch which
must be positioned 102mm higher than the
highest outlet from the cold water storage
cistern. When the water level drops too far
the WSP will switch off the pump until the
cold water storage level is recovered.
Combi boilers and water heaters
As these appliances are invariably supplied directly from the cold mains – they are not
suitable for this range of pumps, unless pumping from a cold water storage cistern
via a universal pump.
Horizontal cylinders
As horizontal (Torpedo) cylinders are problematic for boosted systems consult PumpWise
on 0191 516 2002 for guidance and correct use of an approved top entry flange.
S flange
Complete with compression pump outlet and the open vent connections. Also supplied with
an adaptor to connect to 1” male and female top entry cylinders. (See fig 13).
Helpful guidelines
Cold water supplies and storage Recovery of cold storage
Ensure that there is sufficient water recovery to cover the water usage by the appliance.
Aeration of pump and cylinder from a cold water storage cistern
This occurs when the incoming cold mains ball valve is positioned above the cold feeds
to the cylinder and to the pump – aerated water is drawn into the pump as illustrated.
Chronic aeration of the pump occurs when
this problem is combined with inadequate
storage capacity and/or when the volume
of water is drawn by the pump and other
services exceeds the refill rate and creates
a vortex which draws air and possibly
debris into the pump.
Cold storage usable capacity
The usable capacity of cold storage is easily calculated as the capacity of water in the cold
cistern above the cold feeds to the cylinder, the pump and other outlets – see formula.
Formula for calculation on rectangular cistern:
Water above inlet (15”) x width (23”)
x length (36”) = 12,420 cu inches
Volume cu inches (12,420) x 0.01639
= 203.56 litres
Volume litres (203.56) x 0.22 = 44.78

Pump hunting protection
In negative head systems all the discharge pipework after the pump is pressurized.
In such systems there exists the possibility the pump will hunt ON-OFF-ON etc at intervals.
This will happen:
• if all outlets are not fully closed
• if there is a leak at a connection
• if boosted toilets are not fitted with equilibrium ball valves
• or as residual hot water contracts in long pipe runs.
Stored hot water volume
In calculating the volume of the stored hot water requirement it is important to consider:
• number of bathrooms, with particular attention to the size of the bath
• number of persons in household
Stored hot water temperature
Extract from BS5546:1990 (Current)
“The mean temperature of the stored water should not normally exceed 60ºC and in a
combined central heating and domestic hot water system it is recommended that the stored
water temperature is controlled independently from that on the primary circuit”.
Effective control of stored hot water is simply achieved by use of a cylinder thermostat or
direct acting thermostatic valve (e.g. tapstat).
Maximum water temperature for CT Xtra, CT Bathroom & CT FORCE pumps is 60ºC.
In systems where the stored hot water temperature cannot be controlled e.g. Aga solid fuel
appliance or very crudely by the boiler thermostat, a Salamander approved HWS TMV must
be used.
Approved flanges (cylinders)
The 22mm No Stop Essex and the other
approved top entry flanges with extension
pipes into the cylinder represent the best
known means of ensuring minimal aeration
of the hot supply water to the pump.
Please contact PumpWise on 0191 516
2002 for additional approved flanges.
Warix flange (fig 14)
A) The vent connection MUST
be from side in Warix flange.
B) The supply connection to the
pump MUST BE FROM THE TOP
of the Warix flange.
C) In systems where there are one
bathroom and an en-suite shower,
or two or more bathrooms, the cold
feed to the cylinder MUST be in
28mm pipework.
Water hammer protection
Water hammer most commonly occurs in systems where there are long pipe runs supplying
solenoid activated appliances e.g. washing machines or outlets with quick acting/turn taps/
valve(s). The harmful effect of water hammer shock waves can be cushioned by fitting
a pressure vessel unit, into the supply pipework as close as possible to the outlet from which
the shock waves are originating.
