COMPLETE SHOWER PUMP REPLACMENT, START TO FINISH. Also fitting knee operated sinks & bath panels etc

Todays video shows the complete process of swapping a Salamander shower pump with the direct replacement for that pump, its a very straight forward job to be fair.
Also we pop into the house renovation for a day to do a few bits including a bath panel which i hate!!!
Also fit a sink at "The Deli" in Warwick for a good friend of mine

Asking a customer where to locate wall hung fixtures. Typical scenario, usually with something really heavy like a tall, wall hung cabinet. "Up a bit, to the left a bit, down a bit, to the right a bit. I'll just get my missus see what she says". Arms straining, sinews and muscles bulging, head sweating. 10 minutes later. Customers missus arrives. "Up a bit, to the left a bit, down a bit, to the right a bit. yeah, that's fine. Exactly the same bloody place where I held it in position in the first place. Top Tip: Gotcha hands full? Give the customer a strip of masking tape and a bloody pencil for a witness mark. ;-)

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

🤣🤣🤣 so so true 🙌🏼

[@russellshaw485]

Nice video mate 😁 yep 100% hate hate hate bath panels ! Most that come with the baths are just so crap your fighting a loosing battle like trying to polish a turd . I end up a lot of the time buying a better one for the straight ones the curved you just got to go with it and have a bit of luck on your side on the day that one you have done looks great maybe I will just pass all mine to you to fit in future 🤔 😂😂😂 looking forward to next one 👍👍👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahaaa….. just got lucky with this one for a change 👍🏼

[@mirbanaslam2495]

Hi Thanks for the video, I was wondering if I can fit this to a aditional bathroom to increase the pressure. I already have a combi but pressure drops when two showers are in use. Please let me know. Many thanks.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate, no this is just for a gravity fed system

[@fireblaster9961]

Thought we was going for lunch at the deli from the start of this

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate

[@edthelasttribe9580]

Not sure 🤔 if I’m blind , or you did some kind a trick with that hole-saw , I have noticed you started to drill a bit anti-clockwise 🔄, does it sits better on a unit or it’s not going to slip out, before you start to do actual drilling ?

[@chrisholt2474]

Another excellent film thank you, I look forward to the Sunday epic. I hope the subscribers continue to increase for you. Take care, regards, Chris.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks Chris… they are climbing slowly 👍🏼👍🏼

[@plumbingheatingandgas8545]

Great stuff mate love the content if u dont mind Could you pls tell us what hole saw set you used many thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks pal…. I’m sure it was the 5 set from tool station

[@robertpeters8531]

Hi Mark great to see such a variety of work. Wanted to ask your opinion on something, do you def need a blending valve or a TMV on the hot side to keep pump from overheating and can that be a 22 mm pipe from tank where it both feeds the TMV and the cold inlet to pump or do you need 2 separate feeds one to the cold and one to blend the hot water, or can you get away without a TMV. Cheers Mark excellent video again.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep no need to fit a TMV

[@TheMaintenancePlumber]

Nice video again m8s rate lol

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Cheers fella

[@user-gr8zv3ji6d]

What do you do if supply plumbing isn't up to scratch? Surrey flange missing etc?( even if it worked fine before!)

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Advise and fit 👍🏼👍🏼

[@manjsingh6500]

👍😊

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Cheers mate

[@martinbillingham5585]

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

[@seancoleman4798]

My shower pump only has 2 isolation valves out of the two hoses. What should i do in that case?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Those valves should be on the inlet side

[@MJ-nn1ox]

Still can't figure out why the 22 mm pipes aren't continued through to the pumps, why reduce to 15 mm? By the way don't bother asking for replacement parts (in my case a diaphragm with a pinhole -everything else working fine) from Salamander as they just tell you to buy a new item!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

It’s a like for like swap, that’s what salamander supply and that’s what is fitted to keep the warranty. Some of the larger pumps have 22mm bronze connectors I’ve never had an issue with salamander as a brand, always replace pumps within warranty if there is an issue as long as it’s connected properly and piped up accordingly.

[@danieloneill3398]

Would have been good practice for ya to change the flexi pipes for your mate.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Nothing wrong with the ones that were in, also that would of meant draining the hot water system and losing all the hot water, which is a huge waste of energy… 2 years later and not an issue with the hoses…. Thanks for your input though👍🏼👍🏼 And it’s “You” not “ya” 🙄

[@steshaw1517]

Do you use press fittings at all? If not is there a reason? Enjoying the channel, keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hey mate Never used press fittings and to be honest I don’t like the look of them personally. Also I find they so overpriced and the huge amount of outlay for the tools to do the job…. I will stay oldskool with the soldered fittings 👍🏼👍🏼

[@thecyclingplumber9489]

Any chance when you do small jobs you can tell us how much you charge, just always wondered. Great channel by the way

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate…👍🏼👍🏼 Costings and prices can vary so much from job to job to be honest

[@evervol1]

You work for free don't ya mark? ;)

[@malachy1847]

@@MJTiffPlumbing Travel can be a Hassle over in Blighty so the likes of that time can ramp up...like those Stuart Turner pumps as the pipe connections are mounted Vertically rather the 90 degree Elbows onto the suction of the Salamander... but then again this would have created hassle for your swap out...no one wants to make a big contract of a small job... great upload...

[@iheggis86]

I’m surprised how rare knee sinks are in uk commercial kitchens… pretty much a staple in aus

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Know what you mean, I’ve fitted a fair few

[@Plumbingbob]

I hate the cheap bath panels with a passion. But even the not so cheap ones can be a pain sometimes.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep, right pain……. I found the only ones that are ok to fit are the finished wooden type ones with a lower plinth

[@Plumbingbob]

@@MJTiffPlumbing yeah those are not so bad

Funny that! We fitted a bathroom this week and I said exactly the same thing to the plumber😂………….and still ended up fitting it🤬

Them one way trap are known as a fanny trap

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

This one isn’t a proper “fanny” trap as we know them…. It doesn’t have the “fanny” bit🙈 It has a valve inside like the saniflo systems have…. Worked a treat…👍🏼👍🏼

[@julianphelps3852]

Good vid. Re the salamander pump, amazed they didn’t say it’d have to be a universal version as they are always telling me even when like, you had there, a + head pump on airing cupboard floor!!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

This was the direct replacement for what was all ready fitted so perfect swap 🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@27forme2]

​@@MJTiffPlumbingHi MJ what salamander pump was it?

[@Stillbusy105]

Bit rough on that shower pump change! I’d expect a diy job to do it that way, why not change the hoses & do it properly.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hahaaa….. It has been done properly buddy. That’s the whole point of having hoses with iso valves in🤣 Salamander themselves have even contacted me to say it’s a great advertisement for them……but thanks for watching and your constructive feedback Will👍🏼

[@user-te1le7ck6b]

Old adage of if it aint broke .......

[@paulsharples1256]

Would rather have the stress of filling a large system than fit bath panels. Hate them.

Hahaaa…. Anti Bath Paneler 🤣
