Hi all...

Im just doing some work on my bathroom and wish to install some new mixer taps on the basin and a shower bath mixer which all require a minimum of 1bar pressure to operate.

I have a gravity fed system which does not do the job...obviously...

I cant raise the cold water storage much more than it is...although I dont think this will do enough to make a difference..

My only option now is to install a pump.. the one im looking at is a Salamander Right RGP40 pump.

I know this will sort out the hot water... but my question is.. will I need to have one for the cold water as well?

Any help would be appreciated regarding installation of the pump... i.e wiring etc..

Best place for pump is next to the hot water cylinder, and you need a seperate 13amp spur to feed the pump and lots of isolation valves

Isn't this for a combi only, main fed?

thanks for the replies..

does that mean i would need 2 separate pumps... or is there one that can do both?

with regards to the wiring... if the pump is placed near the hot cylinder.. i have the wiring for the whole central heating/hot water system there... can the wiring be taken from there... or would i have to spur from the main sockets?

andytheplumber...just a random question.. how much would you charge for such a job? :rolleyes:
 
the taps that im looking at are suitable for gravity fed system... but need a minimum of 1bar pressure...
