Hello all,
I'm looking to find a definitive answer of the different types of pumps, shower and the like. As there's a lot of different answers out there on the web.
As I understand it there's two main/common types of pump out there..
1 positive head (most common)
2 negative head (less common and more expensive)
Now, let's say for example im talking about a twin impeller pump for a shower.
Is it correct that....
A positive head pump needs to have a certain head of water, therefore needs to installed under the main cws tank and the tap/shower outlets must be below the head of the cws.
A negative head pump is the same as above but outlets can be above the head of the cws. I.e in loft conversions for example.
Could someone please confirm, or put me straight please.
Many thanks in advance.
