What to do if Salamander Pumps HomeBoost Water Pump starts with all outlets closed?
If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump starts even when all outlets are closed, it could be due to a leak in the system. Inspect your system for any leaks. Alternatively, ensure that all outlets are fully closed or capped, meaning there are no dead legs in the pipe work.
Why is my Salamander Pumps HomeBoost so noisy?
If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump is noisy, it may be due to air in the system. Also, the pump might be vibrating against other pipework, so move the pump away from contact with other pipe work. Another cause might be that the pump is running hard. In this case, check the filters and unblock them if necessary.
Why does my Salamander Pumps Water Pump have reduced flow?
If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump has reduced or intermittent flow, it could be due to insufficient flow. Another possibility is a blocked inlet filter. Ensure that the inlet filter is free from debris. Also, air in the system can cause this problem. Run the system on full cold for a whole house install, or full hot in a combi boiler install, with the pump switched off (i.e. mains water supply only) for several minutes.
Why is my Salamander Pumps HomeBoost Water Pump leaking?
If your Salamander Pumps Water Pump is leaking, it may be because the pump has suffered chemical damage. Ensure that the pump has not come into contact with a chemical substance like solder flux. Another cause could be that the pump was exposed to extreme temperatures, so ensure adequate frost protection. Check that the leak is not from a fitting in the pipe work above the pump. Also check for condensation build-up – drain holes in the base of the pump casing should allow excessive water to drain off.
