Shower pump

[nickdesign]

Hi Guys,

Am installing a shower pump in our bathroom to go with the Bristan Prism shower we've bought.

It has a 200mm shower head on it, plus a diverter to a handset.

See here for the shower - http://www.bristan.com/epages/Bristan.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Bristan/Products/"PM VSHXSPDIV C"

I recall reading that both the Salamander ESP pumps and the Techflow QT pumps come recommended, I am looking for a pump with minimum noise.

I am trying to work out A) whether I should opt for the Salamander or Techflow? Anyone have any experiences of either of these?

And B) Whether I should go for the 2. something bar versions or the 3. something ones, It will just be supplying the shower, and I don't know if the 3. something bar ones are much noiser than the 2. something ones?

Any advice appreciated guys.

Nick
