Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find a decent discussion on pump sizes that seemed to cover my scenario. Here goes...
I would like to fit a pump to use with a shower that is about 6m away. In the future I would like to convert the loft and have a bathroom up there with another bath/shower.
- What size pump should I use? - for one shower now. - and for an additional bathroom in the future.
- Are there any important installation considerations that I may have overlooked or am likely to overlook?
I'm happy for anyone to just refer me to another site where I can find the information, I didn't have much luck.
I have made the following assumptions
------------------------------------------------------- I will need a negative head pump (e.g. Stuart Turner Monsoon Twin Negative).
I may need to upgrade / elevate / resite the current cold water tank in the future, to cope with the extra flow.
I should site the pump on the floor next to the HW tank. I should run a 22mm hot pipe into the loft and then to the site of current shower. I should run a 22mm cold pipe from the CW tank to the site of current shower. I should cut notches in the joists and lag the these 22mm pipes.
Thank in advance
