Default increasing hot water pressure to kitchen taps

The pump would be between the tank and the taps, most likely near the
valve you mention. It won't cause problems behind it and will only come on
when water is called for. It will be fiddly to fit and a potential surce
of leaks and breakdown and will be noisy. OTOH you'll get pressure!

A good make and something which would (probably) be quieter than the usual
shower pumps might be:

Please note - although this looks like a central heating pump (and, in fact,
is one with some bits added) it is very likely that it MUST be mounted as
the picture shows, or the flow sensor won't work (actual central heating
pumps can be mounted anyway round, as long as the motor shaft is
horizontal). This may make a difference to the ease of fitting!



ok thanks for that, so it's the same size and shape as CH pump, I'll
have to see if I can actually find space to fit one.

I was hoping there would be a smaller sized solution more the size of a
washing machine pump.
