    Pump turns off on cold

    I would try taking the pump out and turn it around. if the issue moves from cold to hot its an issue in the pump, if the issue stays on the same side then its a system issue. ( your pump has a flow switch both sides) hope this helps

    Pumped shower stopped working advice please

    Hi It looks like a regenerative Pump so if the hot feed is the first tee on the downward leg and not shared prior to the pump then it is fitted correctly. Riley is right, if you get a magnet and try using it to see if the pump kicks in - also you need at least 1 litre in 30 secs both hot and...

    Positive or Negative pump? Help needed!

    Hi The positive head pump which you have installed relies on a flow rate- if it is being supplied to mixer taps then it may struggle to activate ( they normally need about 1 litre of water in 30 secs to activate) a negative head pump such as the CTforcesu would be the better option as it...

    Grundfos home boosters

    You could try the Salamander HomeBoost pump. This will lift the incoming mains into the property upto 12 litres per minute. Its an easy fit and can be used to increase the flow of water to the Combi or after the mains stopcock to increase the cold supply around the property!!

    Shower booster pump installation (boost all outlets)

    The Salamander ESP75 (2.0 Bar) and CTforce20tu (2.0 Bar) are both suitable for a whole house negative head system. You can use an S Flange if you have more than 1.2m between the base of the cold water tank and the top of the hot water cylinder, if not then you will need to use a non-stop Essex...

    Low water pressure?

    The Home-boost pump delivers 12 litres a minute so if the flow dropped the pump is able to maintain the 12 litres to supply your electric shower!

    Salamander ESP 100 CPV 3bar pump

    Hi, I have fitted the ESP100cpv many times and rarely have any issues at all. I have had an issue with the red LED2 lit, it was down to too much air being drawn into the system, having already checked that the filters were clean and that there was a good flow of water down to the pump I fitted a...
