    Shower pump plumbing conundrum...

    Evening all. Just signed up to the site for some assistance as I'm a rank amateur (with a reasonable amount of DIY sense I think) who is about to embark on a project to refit my bathroom. I'm having to do much more than I envisaged at first as I've been told I need to rip out pretty much all...

    Shower pump pulses when shower turned off

    Our previous shower pump (Stuart Turner) worked perfectly for around 10 years and then we had problems with starting it. On checking out the old pump I realized that the installation provided for insufficient water-head. So we have re-jigged the pluming to place a brand new twin 3bar pump by...

    Problem with Old Shower Controller

    Recently had a bathroom re-fit and ended up with the shower not working properly. The original shower was fitted 20+ years ago. This has been put back.

    Pressurised DHW or not

    Fitting out the House of Pain and have hit a wee problem. The roof is twin ridge and quite low pitch so there's not much headroom up there- water level in the hot water header tank is at most 2m above where the upstairs shower heads will be (showers etc not fitted yet) which I suspect will make...

    pump on combination cylinder

    Hi all, So, basically I have a h/w combi cylinder that isn't giving me quite enough flow in my flat and I want to put a pump in.
