Hi,
I'm putting a new thermostatic mixer shower into our bathroom, and I'm probably going to need to put an impeller pump in. The shower will go on the wall that butts up to the airing cupboard.
The usual place for an impeller pump is either on the floor in the airing cupboard or under the bath somewhere. However, there's defintely no room on the floor in the airing cupboard, and putting it in under the bath will require all sorts of complicated pipe re-routing (and I'd also have to drill through into the airing cupboard with the cylinder in situ, with all the risk and fiddly access problems that go with it).
Given that the current shower supply pipes are in the airing cupbaord already, can I simply put the pump on a sturdy shelf somewhere above the cylinder? I'd put a lip on the shelf so the pump can't vibrate off, and build some sort of cage around it so it doesn't get smothered with towels and overheat. This solution would also make for far simpler power routing to the pump.
Thanks for any advice.
Jim
