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.


That was one example, there may be other shapes but not many smaller IMHO.
Clealry this one is made by a central heating pump manufacturer so they have
modified what they have. It won't give a huge pressure but probably good
enough but should be quieter!


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


Well you might get a small one but it's unlikely to last as long. Your
choice!
