Shower pump

[Deelta]

Hi every one, how can a shower pump to be used where the cold water from the main supply and the hot water from the tank as there is no way to bring the cold water from the tank, any suggistions please

Pump on the hot only, pressure reducing valve on the cold to match the pressure.

Do you have space for a cold storage tank near the pump (even small is better then nothing) and use that as a buffer for the mains. It will get you spare capacity in case of water cut (or pressure drop) and will also act as a pressure reducer as mentioned above. You can then pump both hot and cold if that is what you want to do.

It will need to be at least a cuple of feet above the pump to give enough head. Idealy the same head as the hot has.

I fitted a shower a few years ago that used mains cold and lp hot. I think it used a venturie to draw the hot through and gave a good presure without a pump. I think it was made by newteam and looked a bit like a shower tower. regards Jonathan ps don't forget the double check valve.

An alternative is to fit a venturi shower. These use the pressure/flow from the mains cold supply to boost the flowrate of the hot supply. Decent make would be a Trevi boost.

thanks for that, but they very costly, I think pressure reduce valve and a pump would be a good idea.

I have asked a similar question where the boiler has been changed for a mains pressure one.

While looking I found you can get Thermostatic mixing valves - TMV which it seems can be used to control water temperature remote from shower.
