Hi,
It looks like the best way to alleviate the problem of my hot water pressure at my manual mixer shower being very poor is to install a pump. (installing an electric shwoer fed by the main cold water is too much hassle in an already completed bathroom)
I understand its common to put pumps in the storage cylinder cupboard. My cupboard is upstairs and the cold water tank is in the loft, probably 1-1.5m or so above. will this head be sufficient?
Also, is it OK to just pump the hot water and rely on the cold water pressure from the mains. I have a pressure regulator fitted on the cold water supply near shower which has a range from 1.5-2.5 bar (from memory!)
Can you recommend and brands of pump to go for/stay away from?
There is already an electrical oulet in the cupboard for the immersion heater. Will it be simple to install a pump by having an electrician tap off from the immersion heater outlet?
your advice is much appreciated.
