Shower/Bath pump staying on - Salamander CT75

KevinRussell · 2024-11-26T20:38:15+0000

I have a Salamander CT75 supplying two showers and a Bath.

Recently the pump has started to stay on after turning off the shower or bath.

Repeated turning on and off stops it. Nothing has changed plumbing wise.

Is this an indicator of an issue?

Cheers
Kevin

Yes, sounds like a flow sensor or switch issue.

How do I check/fix a flow sensor issue?

I wouldn’t know tbh. Probably written in the instruction manual.

When my salamander pump went, would not turn on, I took the housing apart to see if could repair replace the flow sensor. It wasn't repairable or replaceable as far as I was concerned and when I put the housing back together it leaked. So I binned that pump and bought a new one. Salamander pumps are not know for their longevity and others on here have recomended Thomson (I think) pumps for better reliabilty. Those pumps are significantly more expensive though. That first pump that packed up was just over two years old it's replacement, another salamander, is just over three years old and still going.

Unfortunately salamander pumps don't seem to be what they were.
Stuart Turner monsoon only one we fit I know of several over 20 years old and still running.

I've had 5 Salamander Pumps in the past 7 years. I got the original from Screwfix and wwhen I take it back they simply replace it FOC.
Previously the pumps just packed up - one evidently had a broken bearing.
The last time, I upgraded from the CT50 to the CT75 in case the CT50 wasn't man enough and the issue is different - won't turn off.
I see you can buy a Flow Sensor for £25 - I might as well take it back to ScrewFix

Thanks chaps.
