it is installed correctly(i'm assuming it is but i cant tell what pipe is what) just looks awful, probably noisy with those plastic pipes moving about with the pump on though lol

The pump will certainly test the grap rings on the fittings, just don't go on a long holiday unless it's in your own neighbourhood!
Looks like a diy installation, but we're all real plumbers on this forum, hence the negative comments.
Nice and white though.

and that was a quick fix, pipe is not clipped or supported any any way, pump looks not to be fixed to the floor whats stopping the pump moving round the floor and putting undue stress on the fitting and pipe ?
totally crap

I also believe that in areas where traffic is present i.e people accessing cupboards and where items are stored such as towels etc, plastic is a liability as it isn't strong enough if something was to fall on it. Copper every time in a cylinder cupboard.
I think that Homebase subcontract their installation work so it can be hard for them to keep tabs on quality, even though they should with the prices they charge.

takeoff for pump from cyl is not ideal, this could/will cause cavitation in pump and more noise

i was told that the feed for the immersion heater was draining on the shower feed ??
hence why the shower which is a mixer bar just dribbled out slowly after being installed
so he installed some pipework from the tank and fitted that pump to improve the shower

nick1974, my advice would be for you to pay for the services of an independent inspector, i.e contact a reputable local plumbing firm and get them to do a written survey. Be upfront with this company and tell them what the survey is being used for. Money spent on this will be reimbursed if your claim succeeds. Money well spent in my opinion and achieved in a proper, professional manner.

Your new bar shower was only trickling because they are meant for high pressure systems. Yours is low pressure (tank fed) so would never have worked without a pump.
The cold for the shower taken from the feed to the hot tank would not have made any difference on a gravity shower but it would make the pump cavitate so had to be changed.
If you are not happy get back onto them but you will either still need the pump or a different shower valve.
