  Natalie TurnerAug 15, 2025
  If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump isn't starting, several factors could be at play. Check the power supply, fuse, and circuit breaker to ensure they are functioning correctly. Also, verify that the inlet and outlet connections are plumbed correctly and all valves are open. Insufficient gravity flow, debris under the flow switch, or a float sticking in the outlet could also be the cause. Make sure the inlet filters aren't blocked and that a minimum flow rate of 2l/min is achieved on both the hot and cold water supplies. Clear any debris from the outlet area and ensure the flow switch sits in the lowest position.

  If you're experiencing reduced or intermittent flow with your Salamander Pumps Water Pump, several issues could be responsible. First, ensure that an appropriate anti-aeration flange is fitted. Check for blocked inlet filters and ensure that all filters and the shower head are free from debris. Confirm that all AV couplers are straight and not bent or distorted, as they can restrict flow. Air in the system or the wrong size pump for the system could also be culprits. If there is air in the system, run the system on full hot with the pump switched off (gravity only) for several minutes. Check that the cold water storage and refill rate are adequate. Also, consider reducing the cylinder thermostat setting to a maximum of 60°C or fitting a HWS/TMV if the hot water temperature is set too high.

  If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump starts even when all outlets are closed, this typically indicates either a leak in the system or an outlet that isn't fully closed. Check thoroughly for any leaks in the pipework. Ensure that all outlets are fully closed or properly capped, and that there are no dead legs in the pipework.

  If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump is leaking, several factors could be responsible. Check if the pump has been exposed to mains water pressure; if so, fit a break cistern or remove it from the mains supply. Chemical damage or exposure to excessive temperature can also cause leaks. Ensure that the pump hasn't come into contact with any chemical substances like solder flux and verify that effective temperature control is in place using a cylinder thermostat or HWS/TMV valve. Also, check that the leak isn't originating from fittings in the pipework above the pump.
