Anyone any experience of installing and using a 'whole house' water pump (as made by Salamander for example).
I'm about to start a complete bathroom replacement and presently have an electric 'power shower'. I'm considering replacing this with a Whole House pump so that I can use a normal shower mixer valve - and also improve water pressure (particularly from the hot taps) throughout the house.
Any problems, hitches, etc? Do the pumps work via a pressure switch so that any drop in water pressure (eg when a tap is opened) causes the pump to kick-in? Is there any safety device to prevent the pumps pumping gallons of water into the house in the event of a pipe burst?
Incidentally, if there is an 'airing cupboard' containing the hot water tank in a bathroom, is this considered a separate room - ie separate from the bathroom for the purposes of electrical regulations? The way my airing cupboard is constructed, with a proper internal door etc, it is, to all intents and purposes, a separate room!
Uno-Hoo!
