Right Shower Pumps (RSP)

Designed purely for showers. The right

customer’s expectations and choice of 
shower head.

In positive head systems, allow for increased 
resistance of long pipe runs with multiple 
bends. The natural flow from the shower 
head or other outlets MUST be at least  
1 litre/min per side (hot or cold).

Right whole House Pumps 

(RHP)

Equipped with a bypass loop. Selection of 
the Right whole house pump for a system 
will be determined by the resistance of, 
quantity of and the pressure required by,  
the outlets. 
In these systems 
•  Toilets MUST be fitted with an equilibrium 

ball valve.

ESP CPV pumps – system operation and 

L.E.D. indication

With electronic system protection  
ESP CPV pumps are the culmination 
of four years intensive research 
to develop advanced pumps 
incorporating micro electronic 
technology and sensors capable of:

•    Positive or negative head operation
•    Supply water temperature sensing
•    Dry run protection
•    Sensing chronic aeration or water 

starvation

•    L.E.D. indication of system function and 

any unforeseen system malfunction

IMPORTANT NOTE

The HOT and COLD pump ends are identified 
by RED (hot) and BLUE (cold) tie wraps.  
See above illustration.

ESP CPV pumps have been designed 
to protect customers by responding to 
unexpected or unforeseen conditions.
ESP CPV pumps will only be switched ‘OFF’ 
if the unexpected or unforeseen conditions 
are serious.
System operation and system malfunction 
is indicated via five L.E.D’s located on top of 
the pump junction box, see Figure 9.
For ESP CPV pumps only 

NON-RETURN 

VALVES MUST NOT be fitted in the 
discharge pipework between the pump 
outlets and system outlets unless 
specified by Salamander.

Either side of these pumps can be used for 
hot or cold water.
