shower pump

Hi, I currently have a combi system and would like to increase the water pressure for all outlets (mainly shower). I have been looking at the stuart turner mainsboost flomate mbf 12 as this states it increases mains pressure by 1.5bar...

is this do-able and will it work? - are pumps better to 'push out' the water or better to 'pull/suck' the water through? if you have your twin propellor pump with its 1 shaft running but 2 propellors are running but shower number 1 is not going but shower number 2 is operating would that (or...

Hi, My Thermostatic Mixer shower suffers from low pressure, so I was looking to fit a Grundfos hot water pump to boost the hot water supply of the whole house also covering the solution I have a Gledhill EnviroFoam Cylinder with a 22MM Male output which is soldered onto the tank (Manufactured...

Having ongoing problems with a lack of hot water flow from both ground and first floor taps - it’s a basic vented cylinder system, cylinder is fed from the cold water tank in an attic; all the cold taps upstairs and down off the mains, the attic cold tank appears to directly supply only the...

We have a gravity-fed system (well, there's no gravity about it, our water tank is in the airing cupboard). As a result, we get a mere dribble from our shower head. We want to install a shower with thermostatic mixer, with an overhead showerhead and a small hose showerhead so aware we need to...

I have a gravity fed system which consists of a cold water storage tank in the loft and a hot water tank on the ground floor in an airing cupboard. The hot water pressure on the ground floor in the kitchen and toilet is decent, which is expected as the water has a longer drop from the loft. On...

I fitted a Salamander CT50+Xtra pump for our shower just over 4 years ago and it has worked very well since. This morning, though, it is not pumping the water properly when I turn the shower on - it just makes a humming noise and the shower has lost all force. I have checked to see whether the...

Hi, See pic here and attached. Is it allowed to have the isolator switch located directly below the shower pump? (Ignore the fact that the switch faceplate is off - I've opened it up to let it dry out after the pump leaked!) :eek: I've been researching BS 7671, and it seems that the...

Hi All I moved into a ground-floor flat three years ago and the shower system has been causing me a lot of trouble. I am looking for a shower pump/configuration that could fix my problem. I have attached a drawing of my system. I have a really low ceiling. In my system, the cold water is only...

I have now fitted the 4th replacement Shower pump, and am getting a bit pee’d off with this –so would appreciate some advice please and hope someone can guide me in the right direction please.... The shower was professionally moved in 2011 as part of a major refurb, and at that time it was...

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this, but yesterday our shower developed a fault and the power would not kick in. I switched it off at the power and ran the water for a bit which seemed to resolve it but we had the same problem today but worse. I managed to get it started again but...

I have a bungalow with vented hot water system. I have just had a new kitchen and wet-room installed and performance at modern taps was appalling so have fitted a monsoon twin impeller pump to provide whole house boosted water. This works fine and has drastically improved flow at taps etc...

Hi All.. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with this one..... I have a Stuart Turner Monsoon N1.5 Neg Head Pump fitted for a small Shower Room in my Attic. The pump works perfectly, but has never delivered 100% correctly from the time of install which was in 2012. The pump is located...

Hi all. I've just signed up and found this forum useful, but having searched exhaustively, I could not find this info. Q. Can I pump just hot water (single impeller pump) and not pump the cold water from the cold water storage tank? Or use two separate pumps? I ask because most of the water...

Hi Everyone, Thanks to some help I have purchased a Stuart Turner pump to replace my almost dead Bristan Varispeed. Looking at a few threads it seems it depends on your set up when it comes to installation. In terms of removing the old pump, would the best course of action be as follows: Turn...

Hi everyone, I am currently confused as to what pump would work as a replacement in a flat. It us currently running off a bristan varispeed 50 4150052 which is 1.5 bar, i have attached photos. It is a one bedroom flat, which consists of a bathroom (shower/bath, toilet & basin) next to the...

Evening all. Just signed up to the site for some assistance as I'm a rank amateur (with a reasonable amount of DIY sense I think) who is about to embark on a project to refit my bathroom. I'm having to do much more than I envisaged at first as I've been told I need to rip out pretty much all...

Our previous shower pump (Stuart Turner) worked perfectly for around 10 years and then we had problems with starting it. On checking out the old pump I realized that the installation provided for insufficient water-head. So we have re-jigged the pluming to place a brand new twin 3bar pump by...

I need to fit a Surrey/York flange to a hot water tank for better air removal prior to installing a Grundfos shower pump. My issue is that the tank itself has a fixed male 3/4" outlet, in to which is currently a 22mm compression fixing to the DHW supply. The flanges I've seen from Grundfos...

Recently had a bathroom re-fit and ended up with the shower not working properly. The original shower was fitted 20+ years ago. This has been put back. Before re-fit, there was what looked like speaker cable running from the shower valve to a pump (pump by hot water tank in airing cupboard). It...
