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.

That's great - thanks!

I found the fitting manual for this on their website. I presume this is the
one with the wall mounted cabinet, so you just run the input from the top of
the mixer tap? Sounds like just the job, if I can find a stockist (it's not
on Showerforce's current product list, and I can't seem to find it anywhere
online). B&Q have a single head pump called "Eazi-Boost", but that looks
like something you'd need to fix after fitted mixer valve - something I'm
hoping to avoid.

Hi Rob

Yes I had a look on the showerforce site and found the old manual for mine
see if this is what you looked at:

http://tinyurl.com/4ohf5

Looks like its discontinued now. It might be worth ringing them to see if
they have any left or know of a dealer that has remaining stock.

Otherwise it looks like you'll have to resort to a full monty plumbed in
job!

Good luck.

Yeah, that's the one.

Yeah, I'm sort of surprised that the seems to be nothing similar out there.
I'll give them a call.

job!

I think you're right. Still can't see any reason not to just rig a dual-head
pump up to the feeds into the mixer tap - I think I'll give it a go (can't
foresee any terrible consequences if it doesn't work).


Good luck.

Thanks again for your help - much appreciated.

Just though it would be amusing to add to this thread, it reminds me

I'll get my coat.
