Plumbing advice (Decent water pump)

Hello,

As the thread title suggests I am after some advice on which water pump to buy.

Currently we have a single bathroom and kitchen supplied from a standard gravity fed system. We are having the pipework modified such that the whole house will be pumped apart from the toilet and kitchen cold feed. The pump will sit in the airing cupboard next to the bottom of the hot water tank.

Can anyone give any advice on which pump would be best. I realise this pump is going to get a lot of use over the years and a lot of stop-starting so I don't mind paying for a good quality pump. I'd also like it to be as quiet as possible.

Currently I am looking at the Salamander Right Whole House Pump Positive Head range. Specifically the RHP 50 twin (1.5 bar, ~£150) or RHP 75 twin (2.25 bar, ~£225).

Are these any good? Will they fulfill my requirements? Should I be spending more? What do other people use?

Thanks
