Use a Stuart & Turner - Monsoon pump.

What is the set up at the moment?

Hi,

The set up at the mo is crap to be honest. It sits under the bath and runs a hot and cold to the bath mixer tap and then also running from the bath mixer tap (in microbore then 15mm is one hose running to a shower with a big head up a pole - it has never worked properly (surprise surprise) not sure why you would do it this way as the temp can never be controlled. I want to replace it with a bar shower.
 
The pump should be next to the hot water cylinder, as they are meant to push the water and not pull it.

Can you post pictures of your set up and pictures of your cylinder?

I think ive attached two pics....the cylinder is on the same floor in the house but is probably about 10-12m away, it is a massive cylinder, it almost looks industrial.

Im not there so can't get a pic of the cylinder....has this pump just been put in completely wrong?
 
In a word........Yes. The pump should be next to the cylinder.

Hmmmmm that is a crappun indeed, I can't think what the person was thinking putting it there?

Im sure ive seen them under the bath in other houses?? Or are they different types of pumps?
