Product Information
Full details
The Salamander RP75PT 2.0 Bar Twin Universal Centrifugal Bathroom Pump is the direct replacement for the discontinued RSP75. This pump is ideal for homeowners seeking to enhance their shower experience by boosting water pressure for a wider range of shower types and whole-house applications, offering increased flow and quieter operation compared to older models and some competitors. A key benefit is its significantly reduced noise level, making it the UK's quietest twin shower pump at 45.5dBA. However, it's essential to ensure your system is gravity-fed and compatible with either positive or negative head configurations, as universal models are required for negative head setups.

FAQs
Is the RP75PT suitable for all types of plumbing systems?
The RP75PT is designed for gravity-fed systems. It is available in positive head and universal (negative head) models to accommodate different installation requirements. It is not suitable for fully pumped systems.
What is the main advantage of the RP75PT over older models?
The RP75PT offers significantly quieter operation, being the quietest twin shower pump on the market at 45.5dBA, along with improved flow rates and reduced pressure drop, enhancing overall performance.
Can the RP75PT boost water pressure for the entire house?
Yes, the RP75PT, with its crossover technology, is capable of boosting hot and/or cold water supplies for whole-house applications, in addition to individual outlets like showers and taps.
How do I know if I need a positive head or universal (negative head) model?
A positive head pump requires the water outlet (e.g., shower tray) to be at least 1 meter above the pump. If the outlet is at the same level or below the pump, you will need a universal (negative head) model.
How do I clean or maintain the Salamander RP75PT pump?
Regular maintenance involves checking for leaks and ensuring the area around the pump is clear. Periodically inspect and clean any connected filters. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific care instructions.
What is the warranty period for this pump?
Warranty details are typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the Salamander Pumps website for the most current warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Pump not turning on
Check that the system is gravity-fed and the water supply is present. Ensure electrical connections are secure and the correct fuse/breaker is engaged. For universal models, verify that the flow switch is activated by water movement.
Low water pressure or flow
Confirm the pump is correctly installed in a gravity-fed system and is below the cold water storage cistern. Check for blockages in the pipework or at the pump inlet/outlet. Ensure the pump is the correct rating for the application and that multiple outlets are not being used simultaneously if the system is not designed for it.
Pump is noisy
While designed for quiet operation, unusual noise may indicate air in the system. Ensure the pump is fully primed and has a continuous supply of water. Check that the pump is securely mounted and not vibrating against any surfaces. An airlock could also be an issue; consult the manual for priming instructions.
Pump cycles on and off erratically
This can be due to low water flow or a faulty pressure switch/flow sensor. Check for obstructions in the water supply and ensure adequate water levels in the cistern. For universal pumps, check the flow sensor for debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The RP75PT is designed as a direct replacement for the RSP75 and RHP75, simplifying installation for existing setups. Ensure the pump is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically positioned below the cold water storage cistern in a gravity-fed system. For negative head systems, the universal model must be installed correctly to detect the flow of water.
Compatibility: This pump is suitable for boosting hot and/or cold water supplies. It is compatible with thermostatic or manual mixer shower valves, various shower types and heads, individual taps, cisterns, and offers whole-house boosting. It is designed for gravity-fed systems. Ensure you select the correct model (positive or universal/negative head) based on your system's requirements.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, regularly inspect the pump and its connections for any signs of leaks or damage. Keep the area around the pump clear of debris. It is advisable to periodically check and clean any filters connected to the system, following the general maintenance guidelines for water pumps.
