In low water pressure environments, such as gravity fed water systems where a product requires a water pressure greater than the current solutions provides, the solution is to install an independent Pump.

Installing the correct pump, means you can enjoy all the benefits of the shower as it was intended. Salamander pumps are designed and engineered to ensure a long and maintenance free life. Each pump is individually tested for safety, performance and quality of workmanship.

The ESP range of pumps enjoy the security and protection of Electronic Sensor Protection. This technologically advanced and sophisticated heart has been created especially by Salamander. The micro-electronic technology and sensors protect the users and the pump from any unexpected and unforeseen conditions.

With many Browne's Health steam showers and shower enclosures, a Salamander CT75 Regenerative Pump(Positive Head - available here), is sufficient, but please check this with your own installer or Customers Services first, in case an ESP pump would be more suitable. CT75 Features include: ► 2.1 bar (75ft head). ► Tough and robust choice for multi-function showers. ► 30 min on/off  ► 2.1 amps/500 watts. ► 225mm x 130mm x 160mm  ► 2 Years Manufacturer Warranty.

To ensure your steam shower, whirlpool bath or shower cabin offers a long and trouble free service, a correct installation is crucial. In this regard, the water supply to your product must be BALANCED.

This means the water flowing to the shower, needs to be the same pressure on both the hot and the cold water supplies. This ensures the shower Thermostat provides a long and accurate service life. Failure to have balanced water pressures, WILL damage the thermostat and invalidate its warranty.

If you plan to use a Twin Impellor Pump to provide water then you do NOT need to fit a Pressure Equalising (P.E.V). However if you have a single impellor pump, Combi Boiler or a mains pressure hot water cylinder for example you WILL need a P.E.V.

If you are unsure about your specific needs, please discuss this either with your plumber or talk to us direct. Typically though, if you have a Combi Boiler this will provide a constant pressure on the hot water, but your cold water will be distributed around your property direct from the mains. If a tap/washing machine/dishwasher etc in the property is turned on whilst you use the shower, this will change the water pressure/s. Cold water from the mains can also be of variable pressure during the day as demand for water peaks and falls under consumer demand.

The solution to this, is to install a Pressure Equalising Valve (P.E.V.). This is connected to the pipes leading to your shower and will ensure that the water coming out of P.E.V. is the same pressure, regardless of any changes in demand on the other side.
