Hi, As the heading says really, may sound like a silly question but do whole house pumps (salamander RHP75) work OK on mono taps and bath shower mixer taps, or do they have to be seperate taps to allow the pump to work properly? Thanks

Anybody got any answers please?

Hi, I'm refitting my bathroom, which includes putting in new bath and Bath Shower mixer taps. The old taps are about 12 years old and the water flow through taps and shower head is good. I have a gravity feed water system and the stored water tank is approx 2.2 meters above bath taps. All I...

What do you mean, a ball valve inside the stopcock or somewhere else in the house?

I'm talking about the main stockcok under the sink that turns all the water off inside the house.

So Echoes, What exactly did you do? Cap of your hot branch that tees off to the hot shower Drill your clylinder near the bottom, fit an essex flange, send new hot to pump then reconnect to original hot going to shower. What about cold from loft tank, did you drop that back to the airing...

Hi, My mains water coming in the house via the stopcock is making a very loud vibration noise, I get it when I run a bath and the stored water tank in the loft is refilling. I thought maybe it just needed turning down a bit but from closed you only have to open it a little and it starts...

I have done some plumbing before, new bathroom, kitchen etc but usually I'm more or less changing like for like. The termalogy you are using to fit the pumps sounds a bit confusing to me. I think I understand the surrey valve. Would I need to fit non return valves before of after the pump? Not...

Thanks for your reply, so what you are saying is that I could not just connect a pump on the pipe work already there. I can put it in the airing cupboard next to the cylinder and drop the pipes from the loft then back up to the loft then to shower. It is more involved then I thought it might...

Hi, I'm trying to decide whether to fit a shower pump to my gravity fed shower doing the work myself. My cold for the shower comes from the stored water in the loft tank and the hot comes out of the hot water cylinder and goes back up to the loft where then it runs parralell with the cold...

I want to improve the flow of water from my stored gravity outlets. Sounds like this is the wrong pump, one of the replys says I need a RHP pump because the type I have been offered will fail.

Thanks for your reply, What is the differance, would it do the job for the stored gravity feed water? I can not find any information about this model on the net. Thanks

Hi, I have been offered a Salamander Pearl 70 Twin pump which has a maximum of 2.0 bar pressure. Is this pump acceptable to use as a whole house pump. I have a 3 bedroom house with a gravity feed water system, a Bathroom with Bath Shower mixer and mono tap basin also an ensuite gravity feed...

Thank you again for your reply. I think I have it now. Let me see, I cut the shower pipe from the loft tank and cap it off. I then take the cold down feed from the tank and connect it to the inlet on the pump, then from the cold outlet on the pump I continue the cold on to the cold outlets...

Thank you, I see what your saying, one last question then, Is there more then one inlet on the whole house pumps (So I can connect cold for shower and cold for the rest of the house) and the hot inlet? 3 inlets. I have never seen a whole house pump. What size pump can I get away with? like I...

Sorry for sounding silly but how would the whole house pump run the ensuite shower the cold pipe goes straight from the loft tank?

Thanks for the advise. If I fit a whole house pump would this be OK for the ensuite shower? the cold water comes direct from the water tank in the loft and the hot water from the cylinder.

Hi, I would like some advise about water pressure. I have a gravity feed water system in a 3 bed house with a hot water cylinder in the airing cuboard. I live alone so its only one person using the stuff. I have refitted the kitchen, ensuite and cloakroom with new taps etc. The ensuite...
