We ave a mixer tap with a spray nozzle in our utility romm that we use for wahing our dog sometime. However, the hot flow is poor and I was wondering about adding a single impeller pump. Given it's for occasional use only, a cheap pump would be adequate.
Can't find much under £100 on-line so far. Any other suggestions?
I think 100 quid is about the going rate. Might be cheaper to provide a system which works on low pressure as it's a utility room. The mixer you've got is probably for mains pressure only - most are these days, unless you search around.
What is pressure like at your other hot taps? Maybe a whole system pump would be a better approach? That way you would get some benefit from it everywhere. Or a bucket/watering can and pulley? Or check why that room is so bad - half-closed valve? Crud in pipe?
The annoying thing is, about 6 months ago I threw out a low voltage shower boost pump (for fitting inside the shower enclosure) that would have done the job. It had been kicking around unused for a couple of years so chances are it might have been seized but annoying nonetheless.
I bought the mixer tap on the promise that it was suitable for gravity fed HW but it was only after fitting and throwing away the packaging that I found it recommends half a bar absolute minimum and preferably mains pressure or pumped supply. Teach me for bieng so impetuous. :-(
I could convert my whole HW system to pumped (there is already a shower pump that would do the job upstairs) with a little bit of replumbing but I don't really fancy having the pump running all the time I've got the kitchen hot tap on a slow trickle as I often have when washing up.
Might think about vented heat-bank/thermal store if DIY costs aren't too high. A full mains pressure HW tank is just too pricy I think.
