The Salamander RSP 50 1.5 bar shower pump is whisper quiet and delivers a large volume of water compared to all its competitors, If there was a pump thats better quality and value for money on the market I have not seen it. It’s centrifugal impeller delivers where others don’t with a smooth performance curve it is perfect for a shower the will wake you up in the morning but guaranteed not wake up the whole family.

It comes supplied with 4 flexible connectors and a mains power cable and is easy to fit (keeps the plumbers happy).

There are two more pumps in the range with the same qualities the RSP 75 2.25 bar shower pump and the RSP 100 a 3.0 bar shower pump that is capable of pumping to the highest specification of power shower’s and valves on the market.

Shower Pump For all jobs

Looking for a shower pump for my house I soon realised that it was not going to be easy, there is so many models and brands, I was being told by my plumber that I should get a shower pump as I would not have enough pressure “get 2.0 bar twin” he said, the local merchant told me that I had to use a bigger pump as they were the only pumps that would do the job, the more I looked the more confused I got.

I then called Tim at Tapstore.com he is their technical man, I explained that I needed to pump my shower in a new loft room and also a bathroom on the first floor, I am rather confused as one guy said just get a 2.0 bar twin and the other said that I needed more and felt that everyone I asked advised something different?

Tim’s answer was to go for a technically brilliant product a Electronic Sensor Pump he explained that ” because my shower head was higher than the cold water storage tank in the loft (negative head) there will not be the flow to start up the pump I needed, and with the downstairs shower there was no real issues about the flow to start the pump (positive head)”. In the end I went for a pump that did everything both the showers, my whole first floor bathroom and my hot kitchen tap which had also given me flow problems.

What I now know is a pump is simply not a pump for any job and each pump has a specific purpose apart from the one I bought. I bought a Salamander Electronic Sensor ESP 2.25 bar CPV twin pump and it does just the job perfectly, it is designed to work in positive and negative head with independent hot or cold supplies, WC even my dishwasher and washing machine.

Techflow Pumps – Turbo Range

The Techflow Turbo Range of brass ended pumps are a great choice for the professional plumbers, If you are wanting to install a pump that wont leak or fail electrically then this is the beast for you. they are built with strong induction motors with solid brass impellers so durability is the key word in its design and if you compare these pumps with other brands it is a quiet alternative.

A great little feature of this product is that there is a flow switch sensitivity adjustment on the outlet of the pump which gives you a small amount of movement in how much flow activates the product.

There has been no compromise in the construction of the impeller casing using a thicker casting of brass making a quieter pump. I have used the 1.0 bar single impeller fitted in a cupboard in my office and I can hear it, when I previously had a Stuart Turner pump fitted and I could not say the same.

These are suitable for shower installations whole house pumping and if you select the negative head pumps version loft conversions alike and in my mind I would not fit anything else.

The Techflow Turbo range consists of a 1, 2, 3, and 4.0bar options in both single ended and twin ended with the choice of both positive and negative head.

Salamander Pumps – to boost your shower performence

When it comes to shower pumps the Salamander RSP 50 is a good choice as it is quiet and reliable, out of all of Salamanders ranges of booster pumps I think this is the cream of the crop, Why I hear you ask? Several reasons, it’s centrifugal so it is quiet, it’s 15mm pipe connections so its just perfect for a standard thermostatic shower valve and small shower head, it’s flow rate is exceptional for a 1.5 bar pump and it’s cheap.

With lots of other pumps available in their product ranges they do have more powerful models for more demanding applications.
