Installation Guide
Safety Information
(Page 3-Install guide for all CT Pump range) Safety in Operation These appliances can be used by children older than 3 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Always disconnect the appliance from the supply before assembling, disassembling or cleaning. 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. The installation must be carried out to comply with the latest Water Supply Regulations, Wiring/Electrical Regulations, Building Regulations and local byelaws. 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 could cause serious injury, death, property damage and invalidate the warranty.
(Page 13-Install guide for all CT Pump range) 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
(Page 13-Install guide for all CT Pump range) Stored hot water temperature Extract from BS5546:2010 “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.

Just terrible
Lost pressure and starting making an awful grinding noise within 2 days of installation. Replaced with a Stuart Turner Showermate and the difference in quality and noise is like night and day.

The pump is in and working
The pump is in and working, not to noisy but all the fitting have male push fit ends. All the other pumps I have have female push fit ends. This caused a problem in installing the pump.
