The Salamander Home Boost and Shower Power Booster, both recognise when pressure and flow is low and automatically boosts the pressure of the incoming mains water.
SPB has a UK patent granted, which protects a unique simplicity such that our product achieves amazing effect without complex and expensive electronics, and with a fraction of the power usage of the Salamander.

Many features of the home boost and SPB are identical; however, no pump will pump water which does not exist, or if the problem is with the heater itself. If your problem is pressure-related, then a pump will solve your problem, but if the problem is due to the inability of a heater to heat water fast enough, the harder a pump pushes, the harder the heater pushes back.
You can fit the SPB on the hot or cold feed. Its compact size, low weight, and its ability to work in horizontal as well as vertical pipes allows you to fit it to any rigid pipe without support, so it can often be hidden away in a cupboard without taking up valuable space. If fitted to boost an individual tap, shower, heater, or combi-boiler, it will protect the flow to that outlet even when other taps are opened. If fitted to a pipe which feeds multiple units/taps/showers it will boost every unit/tap/shower. If two outlets are used at the same time, the pressure boost will be sacrificed because although the pump works harder to increase the overall flow, there is only so much it can do with and still achieve its low power rating.
If it’s just one or two taps or showers which cause you a problem in your house, then we then think it’s got to be Shower Power Booster.
