Shower Pump

[Lissa]

Hiya,
Could anyone give me some advice on what shower pump i need?

I have just moved into an old property and for cheapness and speedy installation we just put some nice mixer taps on the bath, but unfortunately the pressure just isn't powerful enough.

We do not have a loft, our water tank is in the airing cupboard next to the bathroom.

Sorry im not sure what other information is needed, but i can find out more if needed 🙂

It may not be cheap as if you dont have you tank in a loft then you may not have the pressure required.

Also for taps you will need a system pump rather than a shower pump as you will burn out the seals on a shower pump by using it on taps

Shower pumps are to be used on showers. The clues in the name 😉

Sorry, i have just re read my original message. I wasnt very clear.... I did mean for the shower part on the mixer - oops! thought it was a given. Not too fussed on the pressure for the taps even though its not great. The most important bit is enough pressure to get a shower. Was just wondering if would be cheaper to add a pump or to just buy an electric shower.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the replies 🙂

Hi

The feeds to the shower come from the mixer tap though dont they so it would not be allowed

electric shower is a possibility

If its a shower coming from a mixer tap then the pump will still run when you turn on the taps. Plus no-one on here can tell you if it's even possible to instal anykind of pump as we do not know what cylinder you have, whether it's mains cold fed or tank cold Etc. Would really need someone to look at it.
