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 Do you experience poor water pressure or flow via your mains pressure fed heating system or combi boiler, then the HomeBoost from Salamander is the ideal low cost, compact key to help "Boost" your pressure. Below is a guide to determine what pressure/bar pump you’ll need to boost the water in your home. Once confirmed you can then select which pump range you prefer:

That’s bad news, unless you find the sound of a constant drone soothing, while you’re trying to sleep. This will boost your mains water pressure. It will automatically adjust to the incoming water pressure and flow level, increasing your water supply up to 12 litres per minute and boost your pressure up to 1.5 bar which will help at peak times. The Salamander HomeBoost Mains Booster Water Pump (HomeBoost) is a genuine, brand new Salamander product, covered by a Salamander manufacturer's guarantee. The HomeBoost inline pump is suitable for boosting flow to showers, baths, taps, cisterns, and washing machines throughout your home. It can be used directly or indirectly via a combi boiler. One of the unique features of this pump is its ability to detect when flow is poor and only boost flow when needed.In cases where either the hot or cold water is to be boosted a single pump is needed. A single pump only has one impeller which can be connected to either the hot or cold water supply. What bar rating do I need? Choose a pumped model when mains water pressure and/or flow are low – or when you are not sure on your mains water pressure/flow. Choose unpumped only when flow is more than 9 l/min and pressure is 2.0 bar. Next, cut and remove a section of the pipe. The size of this section will depend on your method of connection. Link multiple vessels together to increase performance. Only one vessel should be a pumped model in this scenario. Adios to ridiculously slow filling baths, showers that are little more than a spray, and a whole host of combi boiler problems! Noise

Now, you can introduce the pump into its location and gently connect it to the pipework. 5. Turn the mains water on There are three main types of hot water system in the United Kingdom – gravity fed, mains fed: combination boiler, and mains fed unvented cylinder.

What system do I have?

GRAVITY FED SYSTEM: The CT80 Bathroom is only compatible with gravity fed systems, which means a system in which there is a hot water cylinder in an airing cupboard and a large cold water tank in the loft. It is important to choose a pump that is compatible with the system in your home, as incorrect selection can mean the pump will not work. CT Bathroom pumps have been designed specifically to meet the demand for increased water supply to the bathroom. With positive head and negative (universal) head models available in 1.8 or 2.6

This is the second one I've had, easy to fit runs nice and smooth and only runs when the pressure is low in the evening. Jump over to a tap with a bowl. Crank the tap open to its maximum, and measure out the water you’re left with after 60 seconds. Before beginning the installation process, you should always read the installation guide. This is your first port of call and should be reviewed for each install.Solidly built pump. LED flashing light is a useful feature. Works great. Noisier than I expected so best fitted in a cupboard. Also quite heavy so robust pipe mounting required.
