negative head shower pump
Hi all, can you use a negative head shower pump on a system that doesn't actually require a negative head pump. I want to get a pump for 2 bathrooms so was looking at the Stuart turner 3 bar monsoon range, seen a couple of N/head ones on Ebay going reasonable. I would assume that they could be used on a positive head system as even in a negative system there may be outlets on the positive side. many thanks for any help -- take off your trousers to e-mail me |

Usually the (substantial) extra cost is the deciding factor against their use. Note that with a -ve head pump the plumbing will be a few bar static pressure all the while. Note that any taps/showers that drip will cause the pump to fire from time to time to keep the pressure up. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.
