Pump to boost HW pressure

[Sparks]

Just had a new kitchen fitted (I helped, so that's the DIY bit!)

On the mixer tap, we have soft cold water at mains pressure but the hot is from a tank.

I therefore want to add a pump for the hot, nut not for the cold. All the pumps I have seen that I think would be suitable, are shower pumps. The problem what these is, they want both hot and cold.

Can I use one, and just connect the hot? I guess I would need to run the hot supply to both sides of the pump, and also the feed to the tap would need to come from both to avoid running one side of the pump dry?

...That is unless there is a pump with only one in and out available I haven't seen!?!

I couldn't find a direct link, but I googled (uk) for;

Grundfos UPA 15/90 Home Booster Pump

and clicked on my 4th hit, from

php?fuseaction=site.viewFile&id=6564, but this link doesn't seem to work.

However the hit provided a pdf doc with the information you need.

I've used BHL, found them good, ask for Lee. I think they give good value, they did a year or so ago

HTH, now I need a lager

Assuming you have a normal open vented system i.e Tank in loft an cylinder in cupboard there are loads of single feed pumps. Just pu shower pump into a Google search most companies I have been into s far have single feed pump's or try a plumber's merchant. I bought Salamander pump for my shower and they do a Single feed as well

They have excellent technical support (b phone ring back service). You can also fill in a questionare and th can recommend a pump. Just looking the website is under re constructio but you can still do the questionare

That's abetter one than mine; why is it when someone says "sorry, wrong link" I just HAVE to look at it to see what it was?

In this case it was a good reminder for this summer's fooling around with CH/DHW to replace my perfectly servicable, but elederly pump with one of them gadgets.

Hardly seems worth the effort to add .5 to .75 of a bar! What kind of crappy shower would that give?
