I have fitted a few before but not with the same issue I encounter...can anyone advise please.
Its a bungalow. There are two showers and its a gravity fed system. Whereas pressure was acceptable, though not good, I have updated the bathroom and shower and installed a Trevi concealed valve. I have put a ceiling arm coming down and the added height and pipe run have reduced the flow to gentle rain.
The pipes are run in the loft and drop down from above. Trev valve prefers to be fed from below (not sure why it matters?)
What I would like to do is feed one pump from the T that takes the flow from hot and cold that goes to the first shower. The run is 22mm and reduces down to 15mm down to the valve. However the pump instructions state that it should ideally be situated at base of hot cylinder. This would involve a lot of hassle-separate feeds from cold and hot coming down from the loft.
Can I do what I propose from the pipes already in the loft, or will I hit issues?
Hope the above makes sense...
