Salamander Ora 2.0 Shower Pump
Salamander ORA 2.0 Shower Pump
The Salamander ORA 2.0 is a twin-ended, 2.0 bar shower pump that boosts both the hot and cold supply to give you a strong, consistent shower in a gravity-fed home.
Compact, quiet and easy to install, it's a cost-effective way to turn a weak, low-pressure trickle into a powerful, enjoyable shower — without replacing your whole system. Made in Britain by Salamander Pumps, WRAS approved and backed by a manufacturer warranty, the ORA 2.0 is designed specifically for gravity-fed, positive-head systems — the most common setup in UK homes.
Is the ORA 2.0 right for your shower?
This pump is built for gravity-fed, positive-head systems — the most common UK setup, but not the only one. Two quick checks tell you if it's the right fit.
Do you have a gravity-fed system?
You almost certainly do if you have:
- A cold water storage tank in your loft, plus a hot water cylinder (usually in an airing cupboard).
- Water pressure that depends on the height of that tank — not the mains.
Is it positive or negative head?
This is the single most important check. A positive-head system already produces 2 litres/min or more from gravity alone, before any pump. Below that, it's negative head — and the ORA 2.0 won't activate, so you'd need a universal (negative-head) pump instead.
Time how long it takes to fill a 1-litre jug from your shower or bathroom tap — with no pump running.
UNDER 30sPositive head — the ORA 2.0 is a great fit.
OVER 30sNegative head — choose a universal pump instead.
No jug? Rule of thumb: if there's more than 600mm of height between the bottom of your loft tank and the highest point the water needs to reach, you're very likely positive head.
