Salamander pump leaking

Yes,,,
You could fit a shower boost pump if you water supply to the shower is gravity fed. Pump both the hot and cold so that the water pressure is equal...

Salamander pumps are the best and have flow switches which activate when the shower is turned on..

There are cheaper pumps available... you get what you pay for...

Just for a guide....

Yes, but with service call and parts and labor, it is better if your able, to take it out, then replace it with new one. If your not a handy man, might be better to have service call, and even than replace rather than repair, as there already into it is better in long run. Also it would normally have at least year manufacture warranty.

Sounds like you need a new nozzle and filter. Clean the pump strainer too.

Hi,

Here are a couple of tips that I wrote that tell you how to troubleshoot a Torpedo or Reddy heater...

Reddy Heater - Troubleshooting Torpedo Heaters

Torpedo Heater Pump Pressure Adjustment

fuel pressure could too high you could have a cracked rubber hose on the pump sucking air start with fuel pressure and that will help us to get started

To start with the air pump pressure must be set with a gauge. The air pump pressure is directly related to fuel delivery. There should be a label on the side of the heater designating the psi rating. Get it set right- don't guess.

Once the pressure is set and the heater is still acting up as you described, and I believe it will, because it sounds you are having an electronics problem. But if the unit starves for fuel the photocell will shut the unit down because it can't see a flame. If brought to my shop I wouls perform the following steps in this order:

1. Set the pump pressure
2. Check the fuel filter for a restriction.
3. Using soapy water check airline & plastic cover for air leaks
4. Troubleshoot the photocell
5. Troubleshoot the Ignition Control (transformer)

Good luck!

It could be a fire hazard and if enough leaks into the ground the EPA could get involved. Probably a lot cheaper to fix it.

some times if there not enough water flow passing through the pump it wont kick in make shure all other taps ar off an try that ,have you got a good water pressure in you house?

my heater had a filter made out of copper that looked like a bubble stone for a fish tank. I forced compressed air through it and put it back together and it worked great
