1 IMPORTANT FACTS: READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION
A. Water storage capacity.
1.11 The hot and cold water storage capacity (must be a minimum of 230 litres) and
sufficient to meet the flow rates required by the pumped equipment and any
other water using fittings and appliances, which may be operated
simultaneously.
1.12 Ensure the pump is primed as described in the priming section before starting,
damage to the shaft seal will result otherwise. See Section 5 - Commissioning.
B. Water temperature
The water entering the pump must be controlled as follows:
1.13 The maximum allowable water temperature is 65 oC.
1.14 The minimum allowable water temperature is 4 oC.
1.15 DO NOT fit a pump if the hot water is heated via a method whereby the water
temperature cannot be controlled, such as solar or solid fuel you must consult
the PumpAssist team on [phone].
C. Pipework - General
1.16 Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently
supported & clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet
branches of pump.
1.17 Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to pump
installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
1.18 Pipework design: Care should be taken in the design of pipework runs to
minimize the risk of air locks e.g. use drawn bends rather than 90obends.
1.19 DO NOT introduce solder flux to flexible hoses, pumps or pump parts
manufactured from plastic.
1.20 DO NOT allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners or
strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.
1.21 DO NOT install a non-return valve, or devices which contain non-return
valves, in the suction (inlet) pipework to the pump. The pump must be
free to vent to the supply tank at all times.
1.22 DO NOT bend the flexible hoses beyond 30o. They must be installed as
straight as possible.
1.23 DO NOT connect this pump to the mains water supply.
D. Plumbing Installation Regulations

2 LOCATION - GENERAL
2.11 Access: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
2.12 Protection: The pump must be located in a dry position, frost
free and protected from freezing, particularly when installed in a loft
(not recommended).
2.13 Ventilation: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump. Separate
the pump from other appliances that generate heat. An 80 mm (3 “)
air gap must be maintained around the pump.
2.14 Safety: The motor casing can become very hot under normal
operating conditions. Care must be taken to ensure it cannot be
touched during operation.
2.15 Water retention: Site the pump in a location where in the unlikely
event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid
electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
2.16 Static inlet pressure: Before deciding where to locate the unit check to ensure
the static inlet head between pump and the bottom of the cold water tank
(Figs. 4 & 5) is at least 1 metre and does not exceed the max inlet head of
10 metres.
2.17 Ambient temperature: The pump must be sited in a location where the
maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 40 oC continuous or 50 oC
intermittent.
2.18 Pipework: For optimum performance pipework use 28 mm dia., 22 mm can be
used but will result in reduced pump performance. Note: Inlet pipework must
always be greater than or equal to the outlet pipework diameter.
Pipework should only reduce to 15 mm when entering terminal fitting.
2.19 Static outlet pressure: The static outlet head (Figs. 4 & 5) must also be within
the maximum requirement of 13 metres.
2.20 Noise: The anti-vibration mounting feet and flexible hoses which are supplied
as standard, and a precaution to reduce noise transmission, however care must
be taken when mounting the pump that any noise is not amplified through loose
panels or pipework. Do not screw down the pump.
2.21 Direction of flow: Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow marked
on the flow switch reed clamp (vertically upwards).
2.22 Flexible hoses: Only use the Stuart Turner hose set supplied with the pump.
2.23 Isolating valves: Separate system isolating valves (non restrictive) must be
fitted to allow easy pump service.
2.24 Preferred pump location: The pump must, for optimum performance, be sited
as close as possible to and never more than 4 metres from the HOT WATER
cylinder. The pump should always be sited BELOW the HOT WATER take-off
from the cylinder. The pump location is also dependent on limitations of
the static inlet and outlet heads of the installation. For guidance on limitations
and recommended location, consult the following relevant section for hot or cold
water installation.

2 LOCATION - COLD WATER INSTALLATION
2.25 The cold water supply: Must be a DEDICATED AIR FREE supply via a tank
connector, and must be positioned at a slightly lower level (25 mm minimum)
than the feed pipe to the hot water cylinder.
Do not connect to the mains.

2.26 Hot water cylinder or storage tank: When a hot water cylinder or storage
tank is used, ensure the pipework size from the cold water storage to the hot
water storage is of adequate size and a minimum of 28 mm.
2.27 Hot water supply: The pump must be supplied with a dedicated feed direct
from the hot water cylinder or storage tank which should be via a secondary
dedicated tapping (see Fig. 6).
Do not connect to the mains.

2.28 Pump Mounted Above Liquid Source (Suction Lift Installation):
2.29 The pumps can be used in a suction lift installation providing the height of lift is
within the limits specified in the limits of application section and the liquid to be
pumped is cold water (for applications other than cold water contact Stuart
Turner).
2.30 Before deciding where to locate the unit, check to ensure the static outlet head
(Fig. 7) does not exceed the maximum requirements 13 metres.
2.31 A footvalve and strainer may be used and the suction pipework size must match
the pump.
2.32 Lay the suction piping over the shortest possible distance and ensure there is a
constant rise from the liquid source to the pump. Any high spots will cause air
pockets to form, reducing system efficiency.
2.33 Ensure all joints in suction pipework are completely airtight. Failure to comply
will result in loss of prime.
2.34 The intake of the footvalve/strainer should be positioned such that it cannot be
blocked with debris or silt that are frequently found in the bottom of sumps and
wells.
2.35 When a footvalve is installed in the suction pipework, it is recommended that
suitable pressure relief valve be fitted in the discharge (outlet) pipework from the
pump.

2.36 Non-Preferred Pump Location: The pump must be located with at least
1 metre flooded suction at all times.
If it is not possible to locate the pump in the preferred area due to site limitations
and it is necessary to position the unit in the loft, or in a position above the
secondary tapping that feeds the pump, then there is an increased risk of air
locks. This risk must be eliminated.
The following method will help to overcome the problem:
In this application only use an Essex or side entry flange, then fit a “U” bend or
downward loop in the supply pipe to the pump of 350 mm depth before rising to
the pump should ensure the cylinder vents its air up the expansion pipe, not up
the pump feed (Fig. 8).

6.15 Water scale: As water is heated scale deposits are released in areas of hard
water, scale can cause the mechanical seal to stick if left without use for long
periods. The pump must be run for at least 5 minutes every four weeks to
“exercise” all working parts. Run on cool water. See Section 7 - Technical
Specification for note on water temperature. This particularly applies to guest
bathrooms used infrequently.
6.16 Cleaners, Disinfectants and Descalents:
Acid based descalents and aggressive cleaning agents must not
come into contact with the pump. The pump must be removed from
the system prior to the use of these products. The system should be
flushed to remove all chemicals before the pump is re-connected.
