Advice needed - water pressure

[TangoSierra]

Hi all, any chance of some advice please?

We've had a plumber in recently who has done a wonderful job cosmetically with a new en suite shower room for us but the water pressure from the new shower is awful. So much so, you can't wash the soap out of your hair.

We're now being told we need a twin water pressure pump but my query is the shower they took out ran perfectly and that didn't have a pressure pump. It's a gravity fed tank system and not electric.

I don't get why it would be any different?

Thanks

Guys, sorry to drag this out but an additional £524 later I now have a powerful shower but should the pump in my airing cupboard sound like a moped? I can hear it downstairs! He's still telling me that "it's these new showers......" 're the poor performance previously....

They are far from silent but it'd be worth making sure that the pump is on its padded feet and is not touching anything other than the pipework directly connected to it and the padded feet it sits on. What make and model of pump did he fit? Some are noisier than others.

I'll check. He's coming back as when we came downstairs morning there's a huge leak from the mains water tap. It really is a noisy unit and if i dont respond , it's because I've been arrested!

Not sure if this helps? It's on some rubber padding. Pic below:

For the love of God. Why spend time taking the bender and guides from the van and then use speedfit elbows. Unless 22mm, but even then use solder ring reducers 😉😉😛😛. But the pipework looks like 15mm.
