Easiboost 2 shower pump

I'm connecting a shower pump to my mixer shower can you tell me- is it ok to connect it just to the shower ie. from the bath hot and cold supply between {bath and shower}rather than imediately from the tank. Ps- it is a gravity fed system not mains cold!

depends on what the manufacturer's instructions say - usually they specify a dedicated flange from the hot water cylinder

bath hot supply is off own flange from tank so as i am only needing the pump for the en-sutie shower and not the bath is it ok to T off from after the bath supply hot and cold- the cold is also gravity not mains?

As newboy already said, read the MIs.

as mis stated run off vertical pipe below t piece if this not possible then run off pipe from essex flange!

Fine. So have another go at asking your question; in English if you please.

My interpretation of the MI's is that you could get away with plumbing it in as you propose.
However by not fitting an essex flange you do risk air getting sucked in through the vent. This is likely to happen if someone else opens a tap elsewhere in your house and this could damage your pump.
If I was doing the job I would insist on fitting a dedicated cold supply and a flange for the hot. Then I could walk away from it knowing that I will not be likely to get a callback.
