Maybe the pump is only for the shower?

If you need a pump to feed your taps you have a serious pressure problem and need to get it sorted.

Or high pressure taps fitted to a low pressure system.

There are positive pressure pumps and there are negative pressure pumps.
Positive pressure pumps need something like a minimum of 300mm head of water so that when the tap/shower is turned on, some water runs, however little, and that small amount of running water causes the pump to work.
Negative pressure pumps work on the loss of pressure to cause the pump to activate.
There are also single and multiple outlet pumps. Obviously single: for one shower, and multiple for several outlets.

Teed in the wrong place ???

Or not H & C teed? I thought shower pumps need the H & C to go through the pump.
