which shower pump

[tomatokinglover]

Hi - I have some serious presure problems in a house I just got. Not helped by me fitting a bath with a waste filler (1 x 15mm feed)...

so... ergo - fit a shower pump - I spoke to Salamander who recommended a ESP 50 CPV (1.5 bar) (they would - one of the most £££) . A second conversation with my builder type friend who said he had a ESP 100 CPV (3.0 ish bar) left over from a job. So my question is what would be the impact of fitting an overkill pump? - indeed can I?

N.B. It will just be supplying a faily standard shower (3 pattern settings) and this stupid slow filling bath...

Any help much appreciated.

1. Even more noise

2. Plumbing may need more alteration to avoid the higher pressure pump from cavitating.

There are plenty of good technical guides from the leading pump manufactures.
