Hi, We need to have a shower pump fitted as the existing gravity fed system doesn't feed the hot water adequately enough. I'm concerened that the pump may be noisy and wonder if anyone can give any advice as to whick make of pump to go for - it only needs to feed one shower. The hot...

Thanks for your help - sent email by PM. Cheers :D
