Shower Pumps

Air can build up in a pump installation over time and when not used regularly. It can cause a variety of issues that are often blamed on the pump. However, a simple air test can clear out your installation and solve the issue - at no extra cost!

  • pump pulsing
  • pump running on
  • excessive noise
  • temperature fluctuation

If your installation is suffering with any of the above, it would be worth running the air test to eliminate air as a fault cause.

Complete an air test!

Follow these instructions to remove air from your pump installation.

1. Turn off pump.

2. Remove shower head from hose.

3. Let hose hang into bath or shower tray.

4. Turn the temperature to full cold.

5. Turn the shower on and run for 5 minutes.

6. Turn the temperature to full hot and run for a further 5 minutes.

7. Turn off the shower.

8. Wait at least 20 minutes.

9. Re-power the pump and turn on the shower to test.


A one time or repeated air test could solve your pump installation woes. Or you could try our Installation Fault Finder for other targeted solutions.

    Description

     

    Multi-impeller self-priming electronic system for pressurisation, rainwater reuse, drawing groundwater, gardening, irrigation and agriculture in residential building service and commercial building service. Possibility to connect up to four units together to create pressure units. Adjustable display. Integrated connectivity allows immediate access to cloud services, without any additional accessories. The remote control works thanks to the app, for viewing and managing parameters, settings and comfort functions. The careful choice of materials and the water-cooled motor make the pump particularly quiet, just 43 dB, suitable for installation even in living areas. Can be positioned vertically, horizontally or on the wall with special accessories (supplied separately).

    Pump Construction Features: Self-priming multi-impeller pump. 2-litre expansion vessel incorporated. Protective hull in sound-absorbing ABS. Technopolymer impellers. Integrated flow and pressure sensors.

    Motor Construction Features: Motor cooled by the pumped liquid, stainless steel motor jacket. Motor shaft in AISI 303 stainless steel.

    Electronic Construction Features: Adjustable display. The variable frequency drive function saves energy and protects against water hammer. Integrated protections: protection from dry running, amperometric and anomalous voltages, overtemperature, frost, anti-blocking and anti-cycling. Construction according to CEI 2-3 / CEI 61-69 (EN 60335-2-41). Guided procedure for the first start-up, easy configuration, possibility to display the alarm history. Wireless connection. 

    This kit includes two Smart-box pump sets mounted on a Twin Docking Station. It offers outstanding performance with the ability to combine operations, with reduced dimensions of 50% compared to any other equivalent traditional system.

    Please note the available model options and ensure the correct model is chosen prior to purchase.
