low hot water pressure from tank

[dean1979]

Hey all,
Need to sort a problem out for a customer. They've got me round to finish there bathroom that the brother had already done most of.

Including the plumbing. (see where this is going)

The kitchen, bathroom, basin and shower are all mono block taps and nothing but a dribble comes out of them(hot water). alot of the pipework is now concealed but what I can see looks fine. I am assuming that they are all typical high pressure taps and as the water is being supplied from a cylinder then thats the problem.

The solution i'm thinking of is a pump. Now my customer really cant afford anything over £100 which narrows it done to a 1.5bar shower pump. It is a very small flat that she lives alone in and I have explained it aint gonna pump all the taps at once so it will probably be a case of one tap in use at a time.

What are your thoughts, will the shower pump cut it with low use or am I just wasting my time?

Maybe someone knows of a pump more suited to the job for around £100

why is the shower feeding off the same supply as the taps anyway rather than its own supply ?

I didnt plumb the flat. The hot water tank is in a room at the end and the hot water pipe runs through the concrete floor into the bathroom where under the bath it goes to the sink bath and through to the kitchen. I assume if there was ever a shower before this one was fitted then it would be electric. Oviously the guy who fit thought it would all be fine, I mean he didnt even to check to make sure the taps are suitable for the system.

All this aside I have been asked to fix this job on a budget. Can I simply put a £100 pump on the hot water pipe from the tank and hopefuly get her taps and shower usable. Like I say there is only her there and she realises that this is quite a balls up with the wrong taps and shower for the system. A simple cost effective fix is what she wants. So any suggestions please.
