  • Product Description:

    Salamander CT50 Xtra 1.5 bar twin impeller positive shower pump.

    Suitable for boosting both the hot and cold water pressure to a single thermostatic shower, the CT50 Xtra is a hard-working, affordable pump and is the best-selling pump in our range.

    CT Xtra pumps are only suitable for positive head, gravity fed systems. Installing a CT Xtra pump in a negative head system will mean the pump may not work.

    • Maximum pressure rating (closed head) 1.5 bar.
    • Pressure rating (8 litres/minute) 1.4 bar.
    • Suitable for positive head installations only. Absolute minimum head 600mm.
    • For gravity fed water systems only.
    • Twin impellers for boosting both hot and cold water supplies simultaneously.
    • Continuously rated induction motor with even better efficiency.
    • Regenerative impeller motor.
    • Carbon seals.
    • 15mm push-fit flexi connectors.
    • Supplied with AV couplers.
    • Compact size 165mm x 120mm x 195mm (H x W x D).
    • Weight 3.46kg.
    • Noise and vibration reduction with very minimal background noise (as low as 52.5dB), including special anti-vibration feet. You can also purchase an anti-vibration pump mat as an optional extra.
    • Ideal for boosting conventional or multi-function showers (single outlet use at a time).
    • Salamander Motor Pump Integration technology: compact size, aids cooling, and longer life.
    • Salamander Solid State Switching technology: reliable, consistent, and fast switch on.
    • 3 year manufacturer's guarantee, which can be extended to 5 years with Salamander PumpWise registration.
    • WRAS approved.
    • Installation guide included.

    The Salamander CT Range does not necessarily need a flange, provided that the pump is installed at the base of the hot water cylinder, the cold-water tank is higher than 1.2m above the cylinder, and the pump is ‘teed’ off the first downward leg from the cylinder. If this is not the case, see the Salamander 22mm S-Flange.

    The Salamander CT Xtra shower pumps are the UK's best-selling range. They are one of the quietest pumps on the market and are great value for money.

      Gordon Johnston

    • Excellent service by NSS, fast delivery and a great pump.

      Lee Blizzard

    • This was a replacement for the ct50 however had to adjust pipework to support tails as on this model inlet and outlets on the top and previous model one set on top and one set on side.

      Martin B

    • Ordered this as an exact replacement, very pleased with service, quick delivery and easy to order also the cheapest online. Will use again.

      Stephen Boyles

    • Ordered this shower pump and the next day it came, I was very happy I did not wait for long, really pleased with this service.

      Jullien De Brauwer

    • Good general pump. Used to supply 2 shower points. Fitted as a replacement to a previous salamander shower pump which went faulty after 3 years.. could & should have lasted longer so only 4 stars for product. Fitting was simple as push fit joints on flexible pipes. Service from NSS was excellent. Have used them in the past and will use again. 👍

      Mike Harrison

    • I was replacing a Salamander shower pump which was nearly 4 years old. National Shower Spares sent a replacement very quickly and I was delighted with their service and the price of the pump. The new pump appears to be as good as the last one which did excellent work daily for nearly four years

      Ian Griffiths

    • This pump replaced exactly the same model which became defective after 9 years of use. It was simple to fit as the pipe work was already there. As the inlets are now on the top of the pump and my old pump had them on the side, it was simple to reduce my copper tube with a pipe slice to fit new flexi pipe.

      Ian Salt

    • Replacement for old pump a lot quieter and delivery was excellent as was pricing

      Ivan Wright

    • I ordered this shower pump as a replacement for a CT50 that had died, the advice form salamander was to purchase a more expensive pump, but the advice from NSS was that this pump was the updated replacement. Ordered the pump it showed when expected well packaged and undamaged, can't fault the service, keep it up guys.

    • How can I check if my system is suitable for a positive head pump?

      A positive head pump will activate when a minimum flow of water passes through the pump and out of the pumped outlet, such as a shower or tap, naturally (without assistance from the pump). The minimum flow rate required for our positive head pumps is 2 litres of water per minute (L/min). Click here to see what this flow rate looks like from a tap.
      You will need to measure the flow rate to determine if a positive head pump is suitable for your system. You will need to test all outlets, such as showers and taps, that are going to be pumped to determine if they have the required minimum flow rate of 2L/min. Watch our video to learn how to measure the water flow rate.
      If you cannot measure the water flow rate, then you can check if the system is suitable for a positive head pump if there is more than 600mm between the base of the cold-water storage tank and the highest point in the system after the pump. For example, the illustration to the right shows a shower with pipework below the dotted line indicating the 600mm point.
      If you are unable to achieve the minimum flow rate of 1 litre per 30 seconds from all outlets that are to be pumped you will need to install a negative (universal) head pump.

    • What is a gravity-fed water system?

      A gravity fed water system is identified by a cold-water storage tank, usually stored in a loft, and a hot water cylinder. These systems rely on gravity to force water around the system, with the height of the cold-water storage tank determining the pressure throughout the system.
      Cold water is delivered to the cold-water storage tank from the water mains. Cold water from the cold-water storage tank is then supplied to the outlets around the system, such as taps, toilets, showers and baths.
      The cold-water storage tank also feeds the hot water cylinder, where a heating coil from the boiler or immersion heater will cause the cold water to become hot. Once an outlet requiring hot water is opened, gravity will force cold water from the cold-water storage tank into the hot water cylinder, this will then force hot water out from the top of the cylinder, delivering hot water to the open outlet.
      It is common for gravity fed water systems to suffer with low pressure, installing one of our gravity fed shower pumps can help to improve the pressure, click here to see our range gravity-fed shower pumps.
      Gravity-fed water systems are either positive or negative head. Before choosing a gravity-fed shower pump it is important to know whether your system is positive head of negative head
