How to Replace a Salamander CT60 shower pump (UK)

Fit a 1.5 bar twin pump. UK isolation valves, orientation, air bleed.

Salamander

Part

Salamander CT60 shower pump — 1.5 bar twin pump. Confirm 130 mm or 180 mm face-to-face before ordering.

Isolate

Turn off boiler and 230 V spur. Close both pump gate valves. Have a towel ready — approx 500 mL will spill.

Fit

Undo pump unions, transfer power lead terminating in the correct L/N/E order. Orient the pump head so the shaft is horizontal. Open valves, bleed via the centre screw until water flows clear.

Frequently asked questions

Speed setting?
Most modern homes: setting II on a UPS2. Auto-adapt on Alpha2/Yonos.
Do I need to power flush after fitting?
Best practice — but at minimum add 500 mL Fernox F1 or Sentinel X100.
