1 READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION
A. Water storage capacity.
1.11 The hot and cold water storage capacity must be 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
o C.
1.14 The minimum allowable water temperature is 4 o C.
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 0844 98 000 97.
C. Minimum Flow
1.16 For this pump to operate correctly there must be a minimum gravity flow of at
least 0.8 l/min through all outlets to be pumped.
D. Pipework - General
1.17
Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently
supported & clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet
branches of pump.
1.18 Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to pump
installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
1.19 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 90 o bends.
1.20 DO NOT introduce solder flux to flexible hoses, pumps or pump parts
manufactured from plastic.
1.21 DO NOT allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners or
strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.
1.22 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.
1.23 DO NOT bend the flexible hoses beyond 30 o . They must be installed as
straight as possible.
1.24 DO NOT connect this pump to the mains water supply.
E. Plumbing & Electrical Installation Regulations
1.25 The plumbing installation must comply with “The Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999” and “BS 6700” building regulations.
1.26 The plumbing installation must be installed by a qualified person.
1.27 The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the current
national electrical regulations.
1.28 The electrical installation must be installed by a qualified person.
