Twin impeller pump 1.5 bar . I only need one side in theory but could do with more pressure, if a cross link the outlet on one side to inlet on other can I get 3.0 bar outlet pressure? (one inlet and one outlet)

Shower Pump Question about pressure
- Thread starter Mike2007
- Start date
Why would it cause damage, its cold mains water?
If left, the second impeller would be spinning dry
What if it "T"ed into and out of the pump?
So would that start my shower, because at the moment it runs cold only?
It will not work as there is only one motor with same speed for both impeller meaning the 2nd impeller remain the same pressure / flow as the first impeller doing the job.

How is the water heated for your shower?
From a combi at mains pressure?
Or is the shower electric?
You need to give us ALL the details so we can give solutions that you may never have considered.
If the pump is a good quality and they are made in 3 bar versions then I would expect that the seals are all the same and that it would only be a very small risk to put each end in series.
But on the other hand if its a cheap plastic pump then it could be quite risky

The shower is mains pressure electric and there isn't enough water pressure to trip the showers internal switch for heating . Bought a 1.5 bar pump today, but its wrong because its only good for working with tanked cold water!
Is the electric shower run from main cold water or tank fed?
What electric shower is it?

What electric shower is it?

Off the mains and 8.5kw.
What is the pressures off the main? Running and standing pressures?
What the make of shower? Need to know so I can check min pressure to start a shower.
Have you check inlet filter is clear?
