Well, ive read so many different topics on here that im totally confused now! The situation is that ive just fitted a new bathroom suite myself, now im coming to the shower. I figured id just get a mixer shower as it wouldnt need any electrics doing so i could plumb it in myself. Now, im realising that whilst i have exceptionally high cold water pressure (mains cold system in house), the hot water isnt particularly good pressure wise.
So, im thinking of 2 options.
1) I already have a mixer shower sitting there, so i could just buy a pump to boost the hot water pressure. The cold pressure is rediculously high, so is there any reason why i cant just use a single pump on the hot feed for the bath/shower to boost it? Would i need some kind of pressure regulator on the cold mains feed to the shower to keep it constant? How would I wire the pump in? Can it just be fused and wired to the mains (with a seperate on/off switch outside the bathroom) as i presume it wont draw anywhere near as much current as an electric power shower?
2) I flog my mixer shower and just replace it with an all in one electric powershower which i then have to get an electrician out to wire up etc...
Any other suggestions?
