Hi im fitting a new shower in the bathroom that requires pumping the downstairs shower can be upgraded. Im going to use a 2 bar pump but do i need to increase the size of the hot tank as its only a std gravity tank. Thanks

Thanks for your reply.the bathroom shower is a bristan calco ca shxdiv c
The pump i intend useing is a salamander ct75. The downstairs shower is aqulisa 609 thermo theres nothing wrong with it,just thought it best to pump both showers to give it a bit more pressure. the bathroom is upstairs on the same level as the hot tank. the hot tank is approx 1120mm high and 1400 circumfrince including foam insulation. Sorry i didnt realise so munch info required. Thanks

Typically good practice tells you to allow 25 gallons storage for both hot and cold per shower. Looking at diameter it would appear that you have a standard 25gallon cylinder so to pump both showers it would be best to upgrade it.
Alternatively you may have to allow some time between showers to allow the hot water cylinder to reheat
