So we’re at a belonging herewhere they’re knowing low-pitched pressure difficulties atcertain times of the day and it can be a lotworse at night and a lot worse early in themorning which is annoying for the customer now because they want to use the water then.But likewise time generallythey don’t feel like they’re getting enough pressure at the moment. The method that their hotwater is coming through is a combi boiler, they’vegot a water softener on the system as well soI’m pretty sure that the heat exchange in the combiboiler is not fired up. So I’m happy to recommendto them to install one of the residence raise pumps in now to try and improve their liquid pressure. A home boost gush willmaintain a static is chairman of about 1.6 rail but if it startsto cool then it’s going to give you about 1.5 bararound 12 liters a minute. But the great thing aboutthese, they’ve got this kind of intelligent way ofthinking where by if you’re just exploiting a small amount ofwater they won’t “youre coming” amply on, they have a wayof measuring the amount of water usage and actuallyadjusting the shoot palpate to suit so they’re reallyenergy efficient as well.The good thing about them aswell is they’re really easy to install and they’ll go on1 5 mm and 22 mm copper piping. So if you open up ourhot and cold tap here, this is our cold directlyoff the main and the hot is going through the hot exchanger as well. We did a test on this, wegot about 5 liters a time which is pretty slow andwe’ve turned this sprig on now and you’ll learn the flow outof this isn’t very good, it’s pretty much struggling. We do the cold as well withthat, let’s just turn that off, we just pop the cold on and yeah if you glance as well the freezing is pretty slow.We’ve also got the sameproblem with the soak sound up now as well, I know thatwhen I get home from servicing a laden of boilers the first thing I just wanted to do is jump in the soak. Unfortunately I can’t showyou the shower here today because it’s being dismantledbecause we’re gonna made a quantity of mermaid committee in there and a brand-new quadrant shower in.But there we go, so you’regetting a great idea about how bad the problem is hereand how we’re gonna fix it. So then guys makes have aquick unboxing of the brand-new Salamander boost pump in now. So we’ve got our warrantycard and teaches as well. Right, we’ve actually went our shoot now. They don’t muck about, this isa real sturdy aged brute now. So, delightful protected demises on there. This is an indicator hereof whether the Salamander is actually range at the time, we’ll show you that in a minute.We’ve got our joinings onhere treated over like so. So it’s nice and protected in transit. It too was like we’vegot about a meter of flex as well to our push sotake that into account when you’re locating whereyou’re gonna install this. So moving on we’ve gota fitting packet now, we’ve got our shortens ifyou want to reduce this down from 22 mm to 15 mm tube, which is what we’re gonna be doing today because we’re a 15 mm hose structure. We’ve also came our incoming main valve, that’s also got a little gauze in it to protect the dwelling lift run. There’s a few cases things you need to think about when you’re installing one of these.Make sure that you’re gonnaput the dwelling elevate run in a sit where it’s well supported, make sure it’s got a 100 mm around it at least for breathing. Make sure there’s no coldwater draw offs before the residence raise gush, if thereis you’re gonna have to applied non return valves on them to stop any feedback or anything like that. On this system now thereis a pre-cold water draw off and that’s just before theun-softened water supply and that’s already got anon return valve in it. So let’s instantly buildthe home raise pump up. Right, always read the instructions. You’ve got a schedule of times and don’ts, and too a pre-workchecklist to go through. If you precisely turn theSalamander boost pump around you’ll assure there’s alittle arrow indicating which room the flow is going togo so that means your valve is gonna go the oppositeend of that arrow.So we’re gonna situated ourvalve on at this end. Put that round there, don’t have to go really crazy close-fisted just yet. Just make sure that’s shut off as well. So it’s really easy toconvert this down to 15 mm, so we’re gonna pop our outletrubber in now and then our outlet spigot on here like so. Then all we need to do isremove the nut and olive from this end then you getyour first internal here, and we’ve already putour rubber round here. Simply gonna pop that in therelike so, that’s nicely in. Then our olive can sit in now like that. That comes sandwiched andcompressed now like so, so we can precisely sounds this in. Hold that there like that. And there, if you merely runyour little finger through I always find thishelps, it’s the best way.Run your little fingerthrough like so and that will keep the olive neat and straight. Don’t get tighten or anything like so. So now that’s all nicelystraight and in there, and that’s ready for application on 15 mm pipe. So this is where we’re going to be installing the home raise. So gives get in there withour little mini camera and give you a better lookat what’s going on here because it is pretty tight and you know, I’ve had a lot of pies lately so it’s difficult to do here. Now is our cold feed coming in, don’t know if you can see that. We’ve got our feed up tothe water softener and then back again there’s the bypassvalue for the water softener and there we’ve got thecold feed proceeding off.That goes off to our coldtaps and the boiler feed and also this goes offto a cold sound upstairs. So what we’re gonna do iswe’re gonna make a trimmed here, daddy a L-bar on this, specified ourSalamander up across now and then T back up intothis piping now so then we know that we’re feedingpressurized water off to that place and too off to that feature as well. Simple. Now before we continue toofar it’s a good idea to really promptly consult theinstructions and have a look whether you’re feeding the whole house or exactly a combi boiler. If you’re feeding the wholehouse, you’ll need to swap round where your shut off valve is so it’s on the shop of the Salamander pump. So because I’m feeding thewhole house in this job today that’s exactly what I’m going to do now.So the next thing we’reabout to do which is exactly installing the Salamanderpump on the pipework behind us often takes about 5 minutes. Typically you’ve got a straight-shooting fragment of tube, you really chipped a part out, sound your Salamander pump in, tightened it all up, push thepower in and get onto proceeding. But because we need to makesome pipe revisions here, it’s probably best youjust watch us do this next bit in quick time. Number one, turn off thecold feed and then open up all the other taps inthe house and make sure there’s no water in the pipework.( upbeat music) So there we go, all done, we’re all in. We’ve just got that tied together, we got a little clip in here. Time a little clip down there as well, just gonna turn this water on now. Excellent, right sothere’s no seeps there. Now just gonna feed our plugthrough and under to our push socket and get this up and running. Right then guys, so we’reall in now, what I wanna go first is just test thewater now “re coming” but what we want to tryand do is be able to see what this thick-witted screen isjust indicating on here because when this is going aroundslowly clockwise it entails it knows there’s a fly and it’s being cold.When it starts going aroundquicker it knows that there’s a really big demand and it’sgonna start trying to boost the spout stres up butwhen it has opposite recess merely twinkling each sidelike so, that aims its satisfied with the pressureand everything’s okay but it’s still in use and thenwhen it’s just support it’s kind of a dim glowing round theoutside it represents it’s on but there’s no require and mostly the dwelling increase is on standby.Right, so I’m gonna slam this now. Right so we’ve got ournew residence enhance invested underneath this capsize, we’ve got it plugged in, we’ve got the water backon, there’s no seeps, it’s nicely clipped up andit’s pretty much ready to go. All we need to do to finishoff the installation is give the sparky a quickring and get this nicely earth bonded up and likewise Imight pop a few more clips in as well formerly we finish filming.But without further ado, let’shave a quick look and be seen to what extent much it’s improved, the flow from the warm and cold just now. So now the pump’s noticed thatwe’re looking for some sort of overflow and it’s knocked in soit’s looking better once. Oh wow, look at that. That is much better.That is brilliant. Wow, look at the hot, that is great. That is so much better. Ha! That’s getting on the clappers. Right, I’ll tell ya what, I didn’t actually expect it to be this much improved actually. I affection who ever fitted this tap, it doesn’t relatively drip into that bowl. Anyway, let’s go have a look at the tub and see how that’s getting on. Right, well earlier on the lavatory was pretty lackluster, didn’t really get very full. So let’s just yank this on.You can already hearhow much better is it. Woah! That’s already coming through hot as well. I’m absolutely perplexed, I’m absolutely dazed. To be honest guys, you’re gonna need to ask Salamander pumps how they’vemade this happen.( titters) There we go, the home boostis installed nice and readily so if you guys have anycustomers out there who have got a problem with their water pressing, definitely consult Salamander, give them a quick call.We’ll leave a link to their website in the description below so youcan get a hold of their technical, they’re reallyhelpful when it comes to deciding whether you actuallyneed one of these or not. If you guys have got miniisolation valves in the line, then nonsense like that, that’sthe sort of thing you’re gonna need to take out firstif you’ve got a problem with low water pressure. If you’ve done all that andyou’ve still is there a problem, then this could well be your answer. So then you’ve seen howeasily they are to install, how about prevailing one? I symbolize, like I said, they’re 250 quid a pop. But they endeavoured outpressure problems in your customer’s method prettyeasy if “youre asking me”.
