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
SALAMANDER Pumps has re-engineered its centrifugal range of shower, bathroom and whole house pumps, launching them under the new Right Pump label, which includes the quietest pump in the UK, and delivering a host of new benefits.
The new Right Pump range replaces the company’s former ESP, RHP, RSP and RGP range, and much of the redevelopment has been done in response to installer feedback, in line with Salamander’s focus on listening to its customers.
Pump manufacturer Salamander Pumps has teamed up with a specialist consultancy and machining company to further engineer out the noise in its brass pumps and achieve noise ratings from as low as 48 dB, as part of a long term aim to achieve Quiet Mark status across the whole range.
Salamander’s CT Force range of brass, shower-specific and whole-house pumps, available in both positive and negative head, are designed to help householders with kitchen and bathroom water pressure problems.
Salamander Pumps has appointed a new training manager. With 13 years as a qualified plumber under his belt the new manager is well placed to help further develop Salamander’s UK-wide training framework for installers, merchants, support staff and college students.
Ken Vance joined Salamander in 2010 on the technical help desk, and has worked towards completing a two-year HNC in Manufacturing Engineering at the same time.
