2. General

These installation and operating instructions apply to the
Grundfos Shower Pumps, types STL, SSL, STC, STR, SSR, STP,
SSP, STN and SSN.

For supplementary instructions regarding negative-head pumps,
see section 10. Negative-head pumps.

Your shower pump has been designed, manufactured and
carefully tested in England.

If correctly installed and not misused, it will give many years of
reliable service.

A shower pump installation requires a cold-water storage tank
and a hot-water cylinder. See fig. 2, page 12.

Low-voltage shower pumps

All transformers are fitted with auto-resetting thermal cut-outs.
If the transformer overheats for any reason, the thermal cut-out
will switch the pump off. The cut-out will automatically switch the
pump on again when the transformer has cooled down.

For the STL 2.0 CN pumps, also read the instructions in section

10. Negative-head pumps.

Please dispose of any packaging supplied with

3. Important instructions

Do not connect the pump directly to the water
mains supply.

Caution

Note

• A supply head of at least 2 metres is recommended.

• Non-return valves
Do not fit non-return valves in the suction line to the pump.
Make sure that the pump can vent back to the supply tank.

• STC, STR, SSR, STL and SSL pumps
The strainers supplied with the pump must be used on suction
connections. See fig. 1, page 4.

• Push-fit connections (SSN, SSP, STN and STP pumps)
The pump suction and discharge ports are fitted with push-fit
connections. The flexible hoses supplied with the pump must
be used.
Make sure that each hose connection is fully inserted to a
minimum depth of 33 mm.
The hot-water supply to the pump suction port should be
connected from the first outlet from the hot-water cylinder
expansion pipe, i.e use a Surrey flange.

• Disconnecting hose
To disconnect the "push-fit" hose, firmly push down the white
or grey retaining ring, while pulling out the hose.

• No solder flux
Do not allow any solder flux to come into contact with any of
the plastic parts of the pump.

• Do not let the pump run dry
Purge with water thoroughly for 5 minutes before running the
pump.

• Test the system
After completing installation, the whole system must be
thoroughly tested – operating both hot and cold water at
maximum flow.
Maximum hot-water temperature setting must not exceed
60 °C (140 °F) in accordance with BS 6700: 2006.
Finally check that each connection is watertight and not
leaking.

The pump cannot normally be used with
combination boilers.

Make sure that no foreign particles (such as
solder, dust, etc.) are allowed to enter the pump.

The pump cannot operate if the level of the water
in the cold-water storage tank is below the level
of the pump.

4. Positioning the pump

Select a position for installing the pump which

Note

Minimum inlet pressure: 2 metres (recommended).
Keep the pump as close as possible to the source of hot and cold

water.
For optimum performance, ensure

• a good water flow to the pump

• sufficient head

• unrestrictive pipework

• provision to prevent air locks.
Place the pump in a well-ventilated location, e.g. on the floor of

the airing cupboard.

Caution

Caution

The pump must be mounted horizontally with discharge ports
vertically upwards to ensure correct operation of the flow
switches.

To reduce noise, we recommend the pump be mounted on a
small concrete foundation of approximately 225 x 225 mm and
40-50 mm thick.

Connect the pump and shower system as shown in fig. 2,
page 12.

To achieve 0.5 l/min. to turn the flow switches on, there must be a
minimum height between the water level in the cold-water storage
tank and the shower outlet of approximately 250 mm. See fig. 2,
page 12.

The pump must be installed in accordance with the Water Supply
(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.

For installation within a bathroom, locate the pump in accordance
with the IEE Wiring Regulations seventeenth edition (BS 7671:

2008) Part 6 Section 601 for a shower pump with an IPX2
enclosure. The pump must be positioned at least 0.6 metres
horizontally or 3 metres vertically away from any bath, shower
tray or basin.

affords easy access for subsequent servicing
and maintenance.

Do not cover the pump, otherwise the motor will
overheat.

The pump must be placed in a frost-free location.

Warning

The pump may be fitted under a bath, providing
this space is only accessible through the use of
a tool. If in doubt, consult the Wiring Regulations.

6. Cold-water supply

Do not connect the pump directly to the water

Caution

The cold-water supply to the pump must be connected using
22 mm pipe to the cold-water storage tank. See fig. 2, page 12.
The tank connector should be positioned at least 25 mm (1”)
lower than the cold-water supply to the hot-water cylinder to
prevent the supply of hot water only.

mains supply.

Do not use any jointing compounds or tape.

7. Connecting the pump

Caution

For ease of installation, subsequent servicing and cleaning of
strainers, full-bore isolating gate valves should be fitted in the
pump suction and discharge ports.

Note

The flexible hoses supplied with the pump must be used for
connecting the pump to the pipework. Use of these hoses will
ensure strain- and vibration-free watertight connections. The
maximum bend angle should not exceed 45 °.

After initial installation, run the pump for a few minutes, switch off,
drain down and clean the suction strainers.

For SSN, SSP, STN and STP pumps, remove the suction hose
from the pump, and the strainer basket can be removed by hand
or with long-nosed pliers.

Line up pipework, and fit hoses to the pump before connecting to
pipes. Position pipework accurately so that the pump is not
subject to mechanical strain.

Plastic nuts should be finger-tight plus 1/4 turn. The nuts should
be retightened after hot water has been pumped for the first time.

Note

7.1 STC, STR, SSR, STL and SSL pumps

The strainers supplied with the pump must be fitted to the pump
suction connections only with the wire dome towards the pump.
See fig. 1.

Do not use any jointing compounds or tape.

Isolating valves greatly assist draining down,
strainer cleaning and refilling, which will result in
much lower service costs.

Do not bend hoses as this will cause restriction
of flow.

4.1 Negative head

If the water level in the cold-water storage tank is below the level
of the shower outlet, this is called a negative-head system. To
enable the pump to operate, a negative-head pump must be
used. See section 2.1 Type key.

If the pump is positioned above the outlet of

Note

the hot-water storage cylinder, ensure that the
pipework to the pump from the cylinder has a
downward loop. This will help prevent air locks.

5. Hot-water cylinder connections

Caution

The use of a Surrey flange (see fig. 2, page 12) is recommended
to ensure a free-flowing supply of air-free hot water.

The hot-water supply may be taken directly from the top of the
hot-water cylinder, but entrapped air may cause problems.

22 mm copper pipe should be used to ensure an adequate flow to
the pump. Where high flows are expected, 28 mm is
recommended.

Do not use any jointing compounds.

8. Electrical connections

Warning

The pump must be earthed.

The pump must be connected to an external
mains switch with a contact separation gap
of at least 3 mm in each pole.

The pump must be connected to a 230 V, 50 Hz,
supply with a switched spur fused at 5 A
(10 A on models STP 4.0 B and STN 4.0 B).

Metal pipes must be earthed by the use of
earthing clamps to BS 951 and 4 mm earthing
wire.

Complete all pipework before making electrical

Caution

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician or call your local
electricity board engineer.

8.1 Electrical connection, 1 x 230 V, 50 Hz

Observe colour coding as follows:

• Brown to terminal L.

• Yellow/green to terminal E (PE).
Ensure that the earth lead is at least as long as the other two
leads.

• Blue to terminal N (neutral).

Insert the lead fully into the terminal connector and tighten the
screw firmly. Ensure that the connection is secure. Be sure to
tighten the cable restraint.

Ensure compliance with IEE Regulations. In the interests of
safety, it is recommended that a residual current device (RCD)
be installed in the supply circuit.

The pump switch should be left "on" at all times for normal
operation of the system.

connections.

Do not allow any water to enter into the electric
terminal box.

Warning

Do not operate the pump without terminal box
cover in place.

Ensure compliance with IEE Regulations.
Observe colour coding as follows:

• Brown to terminal L.

• Blue to terminal N.
For normal operation of the shower, the transformer can be left

permanently switched on – very little power is used when the
pump is not running.

Copper pipes should have supplementary earth bonding. Where
the earth continuity has been broken, the pump suction and
discharge pipework should be connected with earthing clamps to
BS 951 and 4 mm earthing wire.

9. Before using the pump

Warning

Do not let the pump run dry.

Purge water thoroughly through the system
before switching on the electricity supply to
the pump.

Do not switch on the electricity supply.

1. Turn on the water supply. Allow the system to fill.

2. Immediately inspect for any leaks.

3. With pump not running, allow maximum water flow, for
example remove handset from shower hose, letting the
shower hose hang into the shower tray or bath. Operate
maximum hot and cold flow for at least 2 minutes, to flush out
all debris and ensure air is thoroughly purged from the system.

4. Switch on the electricity supply to the pump. Again operate the
pump in both full hot and cold modes for about 2 minutes.

5. With the pump operating, carefully inspect again for any leaks
from all connections on both hot- and cold-feed pipes to the
pump and to the system.
After hot water has been run for several minutes, check all
hot-water connections and make sure that there are no leaks.

6. The first few times the pump is used, the insulating varnish
used on the pump motor may give off an odour. This is
perfectly normal and will diminish with use.

8.2 Electrical connection, low-voltage pumps
(STL, SSL and STL 2.0 CN)

Use the transformer supplied.

Caution

The low-voltage pump has added electrical protection via a safety
isolating transformer. See fig. 3, page 13, or fig. 4, page 14.
For installations where the pump has to be placed in the
bathroom (for example under the bath), we recommend that
the safety isolating transformer is placed outside the bathroom or
shower area.

The low-voltage leads from the transformer must be connected to
the two terminals marked "T" in the terminal box. As the supply is
AC, the leads can be connected to either terminal on the pump.

The low-voltage pump installation kits are supplied with 3 metres
of connecting lead. The connecting leads between the pump and
the isolating transformer can be extended up to about 15 metres.
Use 1.0 mm cable.

The safety isolating transformer must be connected to a
230-240 V, 50 Hz, supply voltage with a switched spur fused
at 5 A. The switch must have a double-pole disconnection with
a separation gap of at least 3 mm. See fig. 3, switched spur.

Do not connect the pump directly to 240 V.

Electrical hazard will result and the motor will be
irreparably damaged.

Warning

Do not locate 230-240 V connections, plugs or
switches within the "wet" area in accordance
with IEE Regulations.

10. Negative-head pumps

Pump types: STN, SSN and STL 2.0 CN.

10.1 General

Automatic negative-head shower pumps are designed to operate
automatically in installations where the pumped system outlets
are above the stored water level.

Shower pumps, types STN and SSN, feature independent
pressure and flow controls, with built-in non-return valves and
stainless-steel expansion tanks in each pump end. This system
ensures complete hot- and cold-water system isolation with
stable control over a very wide flow range.

The pump is fitted with dry-running protection. Should the water
supply fail, the pump will stop to prevent damage to the shaft
seals.

10.2 Dry-running protection

STN, SSN and STL 2.0 CN negative-head pumps feature dry­running protection to avoid damage to seals caused by water
starvation. This condition is possible if there is insufficient stored
water or the pump strainers are blocked.

If the pump runs for 60 seconds with an insufficient water supply,
the pump will stop and "lock out".

Resetting the "lock out"

To reset the pump, switch the electricity supply off for
10 seconds.

When the electricity supply is switched on again, the pump will
run for a few seconds to recharge the tanks. If it continues to run
and there is no demand, this would indicate that one of the
following is still present:

• No water in the system.

• Blocked strainer.

• Air which has not yet cleared.

Caution

10.3 Connecting the pump

Caution

For the pump to work correctly, it must have:

• Air-free supply of hot water – the use of Surrey flanges is
recommended.

• 22 mm (minimum) feed pipes, gate valves and flexible hoses.

• Minimum head of water to supply the pump 2 metres (6'6").
However, the STN and SSN pumps will function with a supply
head as low as 600 mm (2 ft), providing the water make-up
system has unrestrictive pipework, and provision is made to
avoid air locks.

• Maximum hot-water temperature of 60 °C conforming to
BS 6700: 2006.

• Maximum static head of 8 m, i.e. the highest point of the
system must be less than 8 m above the pump. See fig. 4,
page 14.

10.4 Installation instructions

• The hot-water cylinder must have an expansion pipe or be
fitted with a vent pipe connected to the pump hot-water supply,
to allow air from the hot-water cylinder to escape.

Excessive air entering the pump will cause faulty operation
and damage to the pump seals which will cause serious water
leaks.

• Feed pipes, hot and cold, must be minimum 22 mm with
22 mm service isolating gate valves. The flexible hoses
supplied must be used. The hoses must be connected without
kinks which will restrict water flow. The maximum bend angle
is 45 °.

Continued dry running will lead to overheating of
the shaft seals and eventually to a water leak.

Do not connect the pump directly to the water
mains supply.

• Ensure an adequate head of water and non-restrictive make­up pipework.
Inadequate feed head will cause pump cavitation, unstable
water temperature, noise and ultimately pump and seal
damage.

• All air must be thoroughly purged from the system. If air is
present in the pump, it will be unable to generate sufficient
pressure to operate the pressure switch. This will cause the
pump to run or pulse continuously.

• Lavatory cisterns
If the pump is to supply a lavatory cistern, certain precautions
should be taken to avoid frequent starting and stopping of the
pump due to low flow rates.
If possible, best practice is to supply the cistern from the
mains water supply. Failing this, a "Torbeck" or equilibrium
valve is recommended. If either of these are not possible, the
following instructions should be followed:

– A: The pump is supplied with two expansion or pressure

tanks. They have capacities of 500 ml and 160 ml.

The larger tank must be used on the cold side of the
pump.

– B: The cistern filling pipework must be as free-flowing as

possible with all flow restrictors removed.
It is possible to change the tanks from one side of the pump
to the other. When doing so, take care to ensure that none
of the fibre washers are lost.

• Washer dryers
Only brass pumps must be used for these applications.

10.5 Pressure and flow control

Shower pumps for negative-head applications are controlled by
both water pressure and water flow.

Twin-impeller pumps incorporate two separate pressure and flow
control systems, one on each pump end, ensuring complete
isolation of hot- and cold-water systems and consistent operation
over a wide range of unbalanced flow rates.

The control system manifold includes an integral non-return valve
to maintain system pressure when water is not flowing.

Operation

The pressure switches start the pump on falling pressure.
The switch point is factory-set.

It is important that the total head on the pump

Note

Once the pump has been started by the pressure switches, the
flow switches maintain the pump running, providing the flow rate
is above 0.4 l/min. When the flow rate drops below 0.4 l/min. or
the demand is turned off, the pump will stop after first running on
for 3 seconds to recharge the pressure tanks.

is less than 8 metres. Otherwise the pressure
switch can never operate and hence the pump
will fail to start.

10.6 Operating instructions

Taps and valves used on the "pressure system" must be fully
turned off when not in use.

10.7 Maintenance

Washers and seals must be replaced when necessary to prevent
leaks or drips.

Any leak or drip will cause the pump to operate periodically, the
frequency dependent on the rate of the leak.

Tank air-pressure setting

The pressures are factory-set. In the event of a leak, they should
be set as follows:

The smaller tank (160 ml) should be set at a pressure between

0.9 and 1.0 bar. The larger tank (500 ml) should be set at a

pressure between 0.5 and 0.6 bar.

In certain applications, e.g. steam cabinets, it

Note

For further information regarding general maintenance and
service, see section 13. Service.

may be necessary to increase the pressure.
Consult the appliance manufacturer.

13. Service

• The flexible pump hoses, dependent on water temperature
and mechanical stress, can deteriorate with age. We
recommend that all flexible hoses and connections are
inspected at least every 6 months. Replace as necessary to
prevent leaks.

• If the flow from the shower drops below its normal
performance, it may be necessary to clean the pump strainers.
Blocked strainers are common on initial installation of pumps,
or in new buildings where the use of jointing compounds,
tapes, flux and other debris can be flushed through the
system.
In this event, close the service valves, remove and clean the
strainers. See section 7. Connecting the pump.

• A common cause of poor shower performance is a clogged
shower head/handset, so regular cleaning and descaling is
important – this applies particularly to hard-water areas.
