Link multiple vessels together to increase performance. Only one vessel should be a pumped model in this scenario. Installing a Home Boost is not particularly difficult. With a few tools and some DIY knowledge, you can easily install the Salamander Home Boost without hiring a plumbing or heating engineer. Installation diagram That’s bad news, unless you find the sound of a constant drone soothing, while you’re trying to sleep. Salamanderare a leading UK pump supplier, based in Sunderland. And they’ve spent over 4-years of R&D, putting together their Home Boost product. HomeBoost recognises when pressure and flow are low and boosts incoming water performance automatically. HomeBoost is an intelligent inline mains booster pump. It will boost the incoming mains water supply to the whole house to 12 litres per minute.

This intelligent pump functions at 1.6 bar closed head; it will typically boost pressure by up to 1.5 bar while regulating flow up to 12 litres/min to ensure it complies with water fitting regulations. It recognises when pressure and flow are low and quietly boosts the performance of the incoming mains water, either directly or indirectly via the combination boiler, to 12 litres per minute.Now, you can introduce the pump into its location and gently connect it to the pipework. 5. Turn the mains water on The HomeBoost inline pump’s average lifespan depends on various factors, such as usage and maintenance. However, on average, these pumps can last several years and have a 3-year warranty, providing reliable and efficient water flow to your house. Are There Any Specific Maintenance Requirements for the Homeboost Pump?

Combination boilers are common and rely solely on mains pressure to deliver water around your home. If you’re looking for a quiet, efficient and powerful pump, delivering up to 12 litres per minute, the potential for an additional 1.5 bar of pressure and from a leading manufacturer, then the Salamander Home Boost is where we’d be heading. What’s Next? The HomeBoost pump is designed to be fitted directly onto the incoming mains water line in mains-fed systems, making installation a breeze. Make sure to turn off the mains water supply at the stop tap and drain down the system. 2. Cut the pipe We provide a home delivery service through a number of leading courier agencies. Delivery charges are determined by how fragile, size and weight of the product(s) being delivered as follows:The HomeBoost should be installed directly onto the incoming mains using 3/4" BSP to 15mm or 22mm fittings, either after the stop tap or before the boiler appliance. Accumulator Tanks can offer even more flow than an inline pump, delivering up to 36 litres per minute. The AccuBoost range of accumulator tanks store water at pressure in the vessel and release this water into the system when there is demand in the property. They are available in a range of different tanks sizes, depending on your requirements, how many outlets you want to run at once and what space you have available in the property. Selected models will fit into a standard kitchen cupboard. At my 2-years working in a plumbing merchant, we sold a tonne of Salamander’s pumps. The majority of what we sold were shower booster pumps, but home booster pumps were popular too. Most manufacturers focus on the functionality of the pump, but not what it’s like for people like you and me, to live with day in, day out. Adios to ridiculously slow filling baths, showers that are little more than a spray, and a whole host of combi boiler problems! Noise

Begin your installation by unboxing the pump and reading the installation guide, this is key to avoiding common installation pitfalls. You can now begin to install the pump, here’s how to do it in eight steps…. 1. Turn off the mains
