Pump up the (shower) volume in your bathroom with a shower pump. For a modest outlay (assuming you’re using one of our competitively priced suppliers) you can dramatically improve the power and performance of your shower, whatever the make and model.
So, how to choose the right one? It’s really quite simple. Essentially there are just two types of shower pump: the single impeller pump, which uses a blade to pump already mixed hot and cold water directly to the shower head; and the twin impeller pump which is connected to both the hot and cold water pipes. In terms of use, you should notice very little difference between them; the major difference is in where you put them.
As the single impeller blade pumps mixed water directly to the shower head, the pump itself needs to be installed above the mixer valve (generally in the loft.) The twin impeller pump though can be installed in the airing cupboard (close to the hot water cylinder).
So much for the practicalities, what about the range? Let’s talk about pressure. How does 4 bar pressure sound? That should perk up even the most meagre of showers! Don’t forget - we’re talking about the finest shower pumps here; all hand picked by our specialist shower suppliers. That means you can choose from a wide range that includes price and pressure options suitable for every home and budget.
Not only that; these things are built to last. Constructed from tough, durable materials and built for high frequency, high pressure use, they won’t let you down. Don’t worry: you don’t have to sacrifice your early morning peace and quiet for a more powerful shower. These shower pumps are specially designed to produce high flow at very low level running frequencies. And check out the centrifugal models for ‘whisper quiet’ operation!
