TECHNICAL Range comparison, dimensions, flow curves, specification and typical installation diagrams. 4 SHOWER PUMPS EXPLAINED CONTINUOUS RATING A pump that is continuously rated, can effectively run for as long as the user chooses, without the need for the pump to shut down, to allow the pump to cool. With a large family in a household this is particularly important, many competitor pumps are not continuously rated, and will automatically shut off for 20 to 45 minutes to allow the pump to cool. All Salamander pumps are continuously rated. TWIN IMPELLER These pumps pump both hot and cold water supplies, one impeller on the cold inlet and one impeller set on the hot side. Each end on the pump then goes on to supply the outlet, which is most commonly a shower valve. SINGLE IMPELLER These pumps will simply take one inlet, and that can be either, hot or cold water and then pump that water to an outlet. Single impeller pumps can also be fitted after the shower valve, where the water is blended, and then take that water to the shower head. Typically, single impeller pumps can also be used to supply electric showers, combination boilers, or washing machines, but all of which must be supplied via a header tank to the pump. WARRANTIES All of the Right Pump range comes with a 2 year warranty which can be extended to 3 years if the pump is registered by phone immediately after installation. SHOWER PUMPS EXPLAINED | 5 POSITIVE HEAD SYSTEMS Several different plumbing systems are used in UK homes, the most common of which is a gravity-fed system as shown in the diagram below. In these types of systems there is usually a cold water cistern in the loft with a hot water tank below it, probably in an airing cupboard. If your shower is not forceful enough due to insufficient water pressure, this can be easily remedied with the installation of a pump. The hot connection must be via an approved side or top entry flange Usable capacity minimum 50 gallons per bathroom and 30 gallons per en suite Air vents, both hot and cold Positive head Negative head more than 600mm less than 600mm Vent and other services MAX 60°C Outlets Outlets C H Non return valve Hot outlet ONLY (When not built into the pump) Inlet Negative head When the distance between the cold water storage cistern and the shower head is 600 mm or less, or when the natural flow is poor or less than 2 litres per minute of combined hot and cold it is possible a negative head pump may be required. NEGATIVE HEAD SYSTEMS (GRAVITY-FED) Negative head systems are where poor natural flow of water goes to the shower head because it is above the height of the base of the cold water tank or there is limited height between the base of the cold water tank, the shower head or any outlet pipework from the pump. Most instances of negative head systems occur in loft conversions or where the cold water tank sits on the joists in the loft. 6 TECH2OLOGY INSIDE We continually strive to improve our pumps and have introduced some clever technology to do this. (RP) indicates the technology in Right Pumps. CROSSOVER (RP) An innovatively designed bypass tube found in bathroom, universal and whole house pumps. This diverts water to the end of the pump that isn't pumping water. Typically this happens when the user switches off the one tap when filling a bath or basin. The Crossover stops the overheating /expansion of the side of the pump that isn't seeing water. SOLID STATE SWITCHING (RP) An electronic switch which activates the pump. The switch has no moving parts, so this improves reliability, sensitivity, and extends product life. DYNAMIC RESPONSE SYSTEM (DRS) DRS is the pumps ability to react to a variation in pressure or flow. E.g. if the flow increases then the DRS will send a message to the motor to slow down, meaning that the pump maintains a consistent water output. INTERROGAIT (RP) Technology within the pump that monitors usage e.g. how many times it has been switched on/off or how long it has been running for. It aids in the diagnosis of issues. DYNAMIC PUMP CONTROL The intelligent electronics that run the motor at a given speed. This makes the pump more energy efficient, responsive and longer lasting. TECHNOLOGY INSIDE | 7 NOISE/VIBRATION REDUCTION (RP) Product design innovation has been used to reduce the noise and vibrations in a shower pump, including noise reducing feet and specially selected materials which dampen the vibration of the motor. BRUSHLESS MOTORS These motors allow for variable speed control, intelligently using the correct amount of electricity required to drive the pump. They have NO contacting parts which make them less likely to wear out and this combined with tighter tolerances also reduces friction and noise. ADVANCED MOTOR DRIVE Used with brushless motors, this technology controls the spinning and speed of the motor using feedback from other parts of the pump. This allows for an instant reaction, seamless performance and energy efficiency. MOTOR PUMP INTEGRATION The innovative product design building the motor into the pump impeller housing to allow for an extremely compact product. The design also means that the cold waterway helps cool the motor, thereby improving efficiency and product life. ANTI STICTION PROTECTION (ASP) (RP) A film of water across the seals acts a lubricant and prevents them from sticking, however if a pump is not operated for a length of time (a week or so or more) the film of water dries out and this can mean the pump fails to start. Our pumps have electronics which detect when a pump hasn't been used for 48 hours which turn the pump on momentarily to refresh the film of water and prevent the pump from sticking. 8 THE RIGHT PUMP RANGE At Salamander pumps we are continually working to re-engineer and redesign our domestic shower and whole house pumps to make them more efficient and more reliable. The new RIGHT PUMP range replaces the old ESP, RHP, RSP, and RGP ranges, and continues our commitment to constant innovation, and constantly looking to improve the performance and reliability of our products. We've upgraded all of our centrifugal pumps to incorporate Crossover technologyTM, this means that the entire range can supply multi outlets if needed, and in turn we have reduced the number of pumps in the range down from 15 products to 12. Using an innovative spider web design on the pump impeller housing, we have added rigidity to make the pumps even more robust in design. On the universal variants of the range, we have improved the electronic system protection to make any installation fault diagnosis more easy to understand. All of these design improvements, and a change of colour to fit in with our new branding, means these are best pumps in terms of noise, and performance.

They can boost supplies to washbasins, baths and a whole range of showers from conventional to multi-function or Victorian `can style' shower heads. The Right Pump range is available in single or twin ended, positive or universal and the universal variant offers the added benefit of protecting itself against the three most common system faults which cause damage to pumps; dry running, excessive heat and leaks in the system.

The electronic system protection senses when: · The hot water supply is too hot (temperatures in excess of 60o) · The pump has air in it · The pump is being starved of water If any of these occur the pump will switch off to protect itself and an LED light will appear showing what the problem is: HUNTING PROTECTION Flashing: Detecting a potential dripping tap or slow system leak. Steady: Drip or system leak found. DRY RUN PROTECTION Flashing: Detecting aeration or water starvation in pump chambers. Steady: Aeration or water starvation found. EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE Steady: Water is too hot. Salamander R 12 1.5 BAR PUMPS Designed to power a single shower or outlet.
