If the water flow from a shower is little more than a trickle, installing a shower or whole house pump to boost this flow is a clear solution. But what lies behind the performance of these pumps? Ken Vance, Training Manager at Salamander Pumps, explains the technology inside the products that helps to make them powerful, quiet and compact…
Crossover technology
Vestemi, the energy saving technology company, recently announced the launch of its first product, Radbot – a money-saving, easy-to-use, smart radiator thermostat.
Radbot offers householders the ability to heat individual rooms only when needed whilst reducing the temperature in empty rooms, therefore saving energy and money. In fact, recent customer trials have demonstrated impressive average savings of 31 per cent - around £180 - on an average annual heating bill*.
Radbot is incredibly easy to self-install and is operated the same way as a standard, manual heating thermostat. It also doesn’t require internet connectivity, complex programming or a smartphone app.

The mobile revolution
Looking back, it took a surprisingly long time for mobile phones to get to saturation. In fact, it took twenty years. During that long period, lots of people rubbished the phones and said they would never catch on. Every new technology that eventually becomes ubiquitous still goes through a period of disbelief.
In contrast to mobiles, smartphone penetration has been much quicker and the comparison should teach us some lessons.
Sales of Firebird’s Enviromax Blue Supreme boiler range are soaring for Redland Property Services as demand continues to increase for the UK’s most energy efficient domestic oil fired boilers. Developed by Firebird Heating Solutions, the Enviromax Supreme is the first Blue Flame oil fired condensing boiler for the domestic heating market in the UK. The highly innovative Blue Flame technology has soot free combustion which will in turn considerably reduce the consumption of heating oil; and has the lowest possible NOx emissions. It is therefore no surprise that the Enviromax Blue Supreme range is now the number one choice for Redland Property Services.
