Hi,

There's less than 0.75m of head between my shower rose and my cold water
tank - hence, the shower is a pretty miserable affair and I want to fit a
dual-head pump.

The shower is fed straight from the bath mixer taps; it's not a
thermostatic job. Can I just fit the pump onto the bath mixer hot & cold
feeds or do I need to install a seperate shower with its own dedicated
feeds?

Also, any opinions on what pump to get? Fitting sounds like a
straightforward affair - I gather that I can just run the pump from a spur
on the upstairs ring main. Is this correct? Could / should I do it from
the junction box on the disused immersion heater supply, which would be
much more convenient? Thankfully, there's plenty of space in the airing
cupboard which is right next to the bath/shower, and pipes are easily
accessible.

Advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rob.



Showerforce do a neat little pump called a "boost" for mixer taps with a
single feed to the shower head. I bought mine just over 6 years ago from B&Q
when I moved into my (then) new flat. The shower was a dribbling piddle and
needed a lot of help and this sorted it out! I thought it quite expensive at
the time but now I think its a bargain. Never skipped a beat in all that
time!

Might be worth checking out.
