Many thanks. I told him I really don't think he should have cut into the flange and he braced it as in the picture. Please let me know if this should be adequate, doubting it is. There's no movement on the floor though. Last picture is the 2nd joist.

Have engineered I beams (wood flange top and bottom and chip board in the middle). He cut through it to run a shower waste pipe, I can't take a picture just yet but he's cut the entire top flange and taken a 2 inch section out and cut about 30% of the webbing. To top it off, there's an inch...

Got it. Pump after the mixer, before the heads. Not mentioned it yet but we may boost the rest of the taps, they probably don't need it, except for the kitchen hot feed but will decide that later. Thanks everyone.

I may have gotten confused. The pump is a twin pump, pumping both from the CWST (directly) and from the hot water cylinder directly into the shower. There the pressures should be the same (hence the twin pump pumping both sides). How would you use a single pump, before the cold water feed...

Twin pump. Best to have equal pressure, rather than one at 3 bar and the other at ~0.1.

Least preferred I assume means that you can, but probably best you didn't. Thought the same thing about not showing the preferred location, but it will go on the floor of the cupboard next to it.

That's correct. That was my intention from the start. Then to use a bar mixer with dual heads. Girlfriend's dad was insisting this is called a "power shower" which is what sparked this thread.

Certainly does say "Shower". Will also put "Pump", and label the switch in the airing cupboard too.

I can return it within 14 days. The shower we're going for is advertised as being able to work at very low pressures due to increased water ways etc. I believe we should be good. Will report back in May when it's all installed.

Hot and cold water. Yes it will go at the base of the hot water tank and will be done properly with the correct flanges, full bore valves etc.. We don't have an electric immersion for some reason, central heating pump is a possibility but will need to check where the wires go. The power for...

1l/min is all it says. Will try with positive and get universal if it doesn't work as the cost difference is a lot.

Saved my sister money when she realised that they had their immersion heater in the hot water cylinder turned on since they moved into the house.

Removing electric shower, putting in a Stuart Turner 3 bar shower pump instead. We have power for the shower running into the consumer unit with a 50 amp breaker and 30mA RCD. Can this be used to power the pump (on a 5 amp spur)? No pull cord but there's a chunky switch in the airing...

Cold water tank is 227l, hot water I believe is 165l. ~45l hot water for 5 minute shower is plenty for us.

Yes, HWC right next to the shower in airing cupboard.
