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.

Description

 

Supergen : quality shower boosting.

Application : Suitable for boosting bathrooms, showers and wetrooms in domestic and commercial settings.

A professional shower pump range with twin head impellers and low speed induction motor (1450 rpm). This increases the life of the pump and provides an exceptionally quiet run without compromising on performance.

Supergen is produced in the UK for quiet, effective boosting. They are designed in the regenerative style which means that the pumps are more forgiving in an installation - they can handle hotter water, overcome air pockets and provide a highly efficient flow rate.

The Supergen 58TX has a specially designed twin impeller that aids the removal of air generated in the system. With automatic thermal overload protection, meaning the pump motor will cut out to prevent overheating, resetting automatically within 30 - 60 minutes.

Supplied with four stainless steel braided flexibles with 15mm or 22mm connections, 1.5m power cable and rubber feet for further noise absorption. Pre-wired and tested for optimum performance.

The Supergen range is not suitable for use with pressurised cylinders, combination boilers or for connecting directly to the mains supply.

This Supergen model is suitable for positive twin head, gravity fed applications. The pump is fitted with two flow switches that require 0.5 lpm to activate. If this minimum flow is not available, the Supergen Universal models are recommended.
