Quiet Whole house pump

[mutley racers]

Hi, I am looking at putting in a new system where I raise the cwsc in the loft, put the cylinder in there and use a whole house pump to pump 2 bathrooms but not the toilets. Would like it to be as quiet as possible. Any recommendations? Looking at a couple of big shower heads in this and a bath.

Cheers

None of them are actually that quiet in my opinion. Speak to stewart turner and see what they say mate.

The 'secret' of quietening pumps in a loft is to mount them as close to a solid wall as possible and then to mount on as large a slab of 'proper' paving slab as possible. That minimises rotational pump vibration.
Using proper silicone based flexible hoses will isolate pipe transmitted vibration.

What I am actually thinking is getting using a thermal store and putting in a 5 bar single pump and then splitting it for hot and cold. The only thing is, they only have a gas boiler. No wood burner or solar. Maybe they could be persuaded

5 bar? It'd have to be one hell of a coil & store to keep up with the potential flow rate.

@SalamanderPumps is it coincidence that I have just had an email from yourselves about how quiet your pumps are?

So, Gledhill say there system is not designed to work off a pump so not sure it will work not being under constant mains pressure. I cannot really see why it would not. Anyone?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

it doesnt matter pressure it just pressure doesnt matter where its fed from

Like the look of the mini. Upto 70 litres a minute. Would be nice with the tank as well as then it is all drinkable water. Tank quite expensive though.

I see you recommend DAB slot Shaun. You installed much of their stuff
