I'm installing a twin shower pump and it's not very convenient to get a direct cold feed from the cold storage tank or a hot supply from the hot water cylinder. Can the hot & cold supplies be taken from the 22mm supplies to the bath or from the normal 15mm hot & cold to rest of the house?

you can take them off the bath if it is tank fed but it is NOT reccomended

Thanks for the reply. It is tank fed. If I did use the supplies to the bath, I'm assuming that you have to avoid getting air into the pump? would it help if I fitted non-return valves on the outlets to the taps?

Hello diychris, how did you get on with this?
would appreciate your comments on your problem as i have the same dilemma.

It works, though you may have to limit the flow to avoid sucking air into the pump via the tank's vent. Also, odd things happen at taps which share the pipe - the pump will suck air from those too.
