Hi guys, a little advice if you please! I got called to a job today to look at a shower pump that had died. It was a small salamander unit that looks as if one of the impeller housings has overheated and blistered, causing a leak.
The shower pump is in the loft, above the shower head and about 30cm below the cold water storage cistern. Pump has a minimum static pressure of 0.6 Metres and obviously it only has 0.3 Metres static head, will this have caused the damage to the pump housing?
I know Negative head usually refers to the shower outlet being higher than the cistern, but would a negative head pump be required in this instance?
