I have a Salamander RSP100 shower pump. For 7 years it has worked fine and nothing has changed in the meantime. I have noticed a slight leak from the hot side which appears to indicate a seal has failed.
The Salamander website suggests a leak could be the result of water too hot ie no more than 65c. When I check the boiler, the thermostat setting has always beeb about 5.5 which I guess is about 80c which I believe is "normal". I don't think I have another way of controlling the temperature of the stored water in the cylinder. So question 1 ... does this mean the stored water will be around 80c ?? or will it be something lower ?? (if I had a thermometer handy I guess I could test it at a tap.
Question 2 ... is it worth messing with a Salamander pump 7 years old, or should I go for a new one ?
