Anyone have experience of the Salamander CT brass ended shower pumps?
Wondering how they rate compared with Stuart and Turners for reliability and noise, etc?
They are cheaper

had a couple of issues with the black and green ones.
to be fair they are not plumbed in well (builders) they keep sucking air and draw back.
depends on customer really- fit the best or fit the rest (properly) and let it back to manu's if problems.

Yes, the black and green ones, usually RSP code, I have seen leaking, some had to be replaced. All were fitted badly. I repaired one I remember.
Never had any bother with any I installed, that I know of, but I did install most of them to instructions.
(I do have a “temporary” install I did for my brother on original poorly located pipework and it is 10 years working and counting, without any probs so far.)
The CT Salamander pumps come with a 5 year warranty and brass ends and impellers, so I wonder if they are as good as they appear

screwfix special, goo prices tho. i'd perhaps go for one if it were for own use but we have 4.5bar pressure here

Decided to just go with the more expensive option of a Stuart and Turner pump.
Wasn’t convinced the Salamander could be as good, judging by some reviews
