Plumbing a shower booster pump.

[bigdek]

I am hoping to install a booster pump to my thermostatic shower but

have one question to ask.

I can take a seperate cold feed to the pump without a problem but getting

a seperate feed from my hot water tank is not going to be possible

without major damage to my flooring in the rest of the house.

Will it work ok if i just t into the hot water pipe under my bath .

The booster pump will be under my bath as well

SOetimes you get away with it, but it could suck air down the vent pipe. Usually they only do it over a certain pump power, so get one which will stand reduced water flow.

eg in power shower box-on-the- wall types, a Mira adjusts but an Aquastream only gives high or low speed.
