Feed for a bath

[Srodders]

At present we just have a shower that is fed by a pump. We want to put in a bath. Where do we take the water feed from.

a) the pipes before the pump
b) the pipes after the pump
c) it doesn't matter, whichever is easiest.

Thanks.

The pump only feeds the shower
Kitchen tap is fed from rising main
the pipes that run to the pump come from the hot tank in the airing cupboard next to the pump and the cold tank up in the roof

well then take the bath from the same pipe as the kitchen hot.

is the pump supplied from a flange ?

No, from a shop

Let me rephrase slightly - is it OK to have a pumped supply to a bath?

My concern is that at some time only one supply (cold or hot) will be turned on, as opposed to a shower where both are always on. Will this cause damage to the pump if it is trying to pump against a closed tap - or do pumps only pump on the side that is open?

thanks.

Some pumps will allow you to pump hot or cold only, others won't. You need to check with the manufacturers of the pump.
