shower pump
May 31^st, 2010, 12:01pm

hello - please can you help.
We have a shower currently gravity fed with pathetic pressure. Boiler is a condenser type valliant - wih cyclinder and expansion tank in loft just above shower (hence bad pressure). I know the best system is to rip it all out and put in a mains system but for now want to put in a shower pump. Can anyone recommend a good pump for a single shower (downstairs shower works fine with gravity) - dont want to spend too much but equally dont want something cheap that breaks in 10 minutes.

thank you so much

Just 1 meter will give you 0.1 bar of extra pressure at all gravity fed outlets..
