All bathroom appliances connected to the pump???

[cihi2001]

Hello,

I recently had a situation after a plumber came and did a job for me. He connected the water pipes through the toilet,basin and the shower. I was bringing another plumber and asked two more if the pump should be connected through the toilet and the basin too and they said no. I want to find out opinions on how plumbers will do in this case? The plumber who did the job was explaining that if the water pipes from toilet and basin will be disconnected from the pump the try won't function as well as the modern appliance works much better on pressurised systems i.e booster pumps. He also said if he would install a booster pump then he will connect all bathroom appliances to it unless instructed to do otherwise. I'm looking for opinions: how is it right in fact? to connect only the shower/bath or all appliances? When all appliances are connected the noise made by the pump is not little. Thanks for reading my post.

I'm sorry this really doesn't make much sense. Are you asking essentially if your water pump should be attached to all sanitary ware

I take it you suffer from very low water pressure, are you having just the cold water pressure boosted , or both Hot & Cold, is the pump connected to the mains water supply, or is it connected to tanks in the loft, Problem with a lot of modern taps is that they are made for high pressure systems, and although they will work on older type plumbing systems you will notice a difference in flow rates (How fast water comes out) Some pumps tend to be noisy but it will depend where it is fitted and on what kind of floor, Do you know what make of pump has been fitted ?

Yes the question is: pump should be attached to all sanitary ware?

I'm trying to find out who is right? the one who did the job and he said the pump has to be attached to the sanitary ware or others two who said the pump should only be connected through the shower only

Can you update type of pump that has been fitted ! Photo if you can, Shower booster pump or whole house pump ??

If it is a whole house pump then there is no problem often pump manufacturers will suggest some sort of a pressure reducer going into a toilet but I will hinge on the make of the pump

i think customer is trying to say that in the middle of night when he uses toilet or basin pump goes off making lots of noise and this is why i always suggest to the customer not to connect toilet or basin to pumps unless pressure is extremely bad.

I would only want a pump connected to bath and shower pipes and only to basin pipes if essential where pressure and flow is terrible. Toilets connected to a pump can cause the pump to cycle on and off if the modern flush valve is letting water trickle into the pan, which is very common.
