How to Install the AccuBoost Accumulator Vessel | Salamander Pumps

In properties where the incoming mains flow and pressure are low AccuBoost accumulator vessels can provide an additional boost, and are ideal for use with combination boilers and unvented cylinders.

Can i reduce the noise from the pump by placing a noise reduction mat under the pump? Will a mat fit in to that space under the pump and in the tray?

[@SalamanderPumps]

You can place a pump mat either under the entire plastic base unit to help reduce the noise or take the pump off the unit and place on a pump mat at the side of the tank (just be mindful of the hoses becoming bent).
Could you, please, send some photos/video over to the team [e-mail] so we can take a look?

How loud is it though?

[@SalamanderPumps]

AccuBoost unpumped models make very little / no noise. Pumped models are still very quiet, but the pump will generate some noise - you can watch this video to see a pumped model in action - ruclips.net/video/JjzLsBfN-9w/видео.html

Any loss of performance of the boiler?

[@SalamanderPumps]

Hi Simon, Thanks for your question.
If it’s an indirect system, AccuBoost would only supply the water and shouldn’t really have effect on the boiler as this is separate.
The only impact would be on a direct system such as a combi where the speed of water is in correlation to the temperature rise, if say the performance was really poor, it could potentially go through the heat exchanger slower causing a higher temperature and lower flow, then if the flow is increased it could go through the heat exchanger quicker causing a lower temp and higher flow, although most modern boilers will combat this anyway as they are designed for mains water and use accurate thermostats.
Let us know if you have any other questions

@@SalamanderPumps yeah that was it really, thinking the water would go through the heat exchanger quicker so you’d possibly loose some heat from the hot water, as you described.

@@SalamanderPumps I went to a property the other month and it had literally no water pressure or flow! Post kitchen sink it was pumped but at the kitchen sink, next to nothing. The pump didn’t work properly as the set up was wrong. It had a direct cylinder in this 1 bed flat. What would you have recommended for that situation please?
