Shower Pumps
All our pumps are supplied with a 2 year guarantee. To help you choose the correct pump we have supplied the following guide.
When is a pump required?
- In many British households water pressure is provided by storing water in a tank that is positioned above the bathroom.
- The fall from the tank to the tap or shower provides the pressure - this is known as "gravity fed" water.
- The greater the vertical distance between the tank or cylinder (hot water) the higher the pressure is likely to be.
- Please note, a pump cannot be fitted to mains water supply.
A pump may be required when:
- Height restrictions limit the positioning of the water tank to a short distance above the bathroom.
- The water is supplied to a number of different bathrooms.
- Equipment such as showers, taps or shower kits require a specific pressure to operate which is higher than your system currently provides.
Locating the pump:
- Pumps are normally located close to the water supply, in the airing cupboard or loft space.
- Please note, it is important that the water tank has sufficient capacity for the pump, otherwise the water supply could run out during showering.
- A standard 225L tank should suffice, but for a simultaneous supply to several locations a larger tank may be necessary.
Will this increase my water usage?
- Increasing the water pressure does not necessarily result in increased flow rates.
