Hi,
I currently have a power shower located in an en-suite bathroom – approx 5 metres from the hot water tank. I want to replace the existing shower enclosure with a fully enclosed Shower Cabin, so I have to replace the power shower. My intention was to install a new dual-feed pump in the loft area above the en-suite to feed to the shower cabin below, making use of the existing hot/cold pipework. However, I read in the installation Instructions for a Salamander CT75 pump that it must be installed not more than 2 metres from the hot water tank.
Why is this? Would it be a problem if I installed 5 metres from the tank?
My alternative is to feed this shower off an existing pump which is installed above the hot water tank. I know this will be a problem if try to use both showers tat the same time – but that never happens now so should be OK??
Thanks for your help.
