thanks for clarifying... no the pump will be attached to the cold tank & hot tanks. when the plumber put the mixer shower in- i told them that they woudl most likely be putting a pump in shortly (didn't have time to sort that out b/f installing). i was also curious what the pressure woudl...

no- i have a standard triton thermostatic bar mixer shower. i hear what you're saying. i think i'll stick with the twin impeller pump idea.

while i was out of the country, the plumber installed our thermostatic mixer shower off cold tank in loft & hot water tank in airing cupboard. pressure is OK. i knew that a pump would most likely be needed and so i've asked previously on this forum for recomendation- still deciding between...

i'm looking at this one (as per rec thanks!) http://www.h-i-e.co.uk/acatalog/Right_RSP_Pumps.html how do i know which bar i need? 1.5 or 2.25bar? (ps- installed bar mixer shower- okay but would appreciate some extra umph)

ended up buying Triton Thermostatic Mixer, Sema, Bar Shower. Going to install, instructing plumber to put pipes in such as way as to easily put in a pump at a later date. I'll let you all know how it goes!

my water company, anglian water, has a detailed report of the water in my area. lt has "total hardness as CA". the numbers are (mg/l) min: 98 mean: 105 max: 112 wikipedia.org defines this as HARD. (gosh i love the internet)

thanks for that!

http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/1655-0000 £177 for stuart turner, 1.4bar, twin impeller doesn't seem too too bad. only £30 more than the cheaper version. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=A334831&ts=28640&id=46231 this one seems cheap! £90. does the vibration/noise have...

am installing (or my boyfriend's mate will be) a mixer shower this weekend. it says it will work with 0.1bar of pressure... but we'll see how good the flow actually is. if it's not good, we will be putting in a shower pump. can anyone recommend a decent one? i don't need top of the...

found one on B&Q. just search for corner bath panel. however, there are no dimensions listed.

i'm most concerned about my shower clogging up. can i get a specific water softener for one applicance? £1000... not too too hard to swallow. where are standard salt-type water softeners installed? loft?

does this work?? http://www.scalewatcher.co.uk

thanks pete- something like this? http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/0-1951 where are they installed and rough estimate on getting one fitted? are we talking £500 or £1000? people "say" my area has hard water, but is there a way to find out for sure? a test?

our corner bath panel is slightly cracked. i can't find a new one online. any ideas on where to get one?

i (like many in the UK) live in a hard water area (peterboroughish). my inlaws tell me to put a magnet on the pipes. what is this? what other ways are there to prevent the limescale from building up?
