More about the Shower Power Booster pump
Quiet Operation
Crafted with top-quality brass components in the main body and durable plastic around the motor, this pump is engineered to minimise vibrations and operate quietly. At a mere 50 Db from a distance of 0.1 meters, the pump produces noise levels akin to light rainfall.
Easy Installation
Setting up the Shower Power Booster Pump is a straightforward process. It's a task that can be undertaken by any DIY enthusiast or can be entrusted to a professional.
Compatible with 15mm and 22mm Pipes
While some other pumps are exclusively designed for use with 22mm pipes, this shower pump includes a 22mm x 15mm reducing set in the package, enabling its utilization with both 15mm and 22mm pipework.
Do I Need a Single or Double Boost?
Similar to other pumps available in single or twin impeller configurations, the Shower Power Booster Pump also offers the capability to boost either one or two feeds. To achieve what other pumps refer to as "twin impeller" functionality, this Pump needs to be paired with another pump using the included wires, allowing them to operate in tandem.
To determine the suitable variation for your needs, consult the following guidelines:
Single Feed Boosting
Looking to boost a single feed only? Opt for the Single In Line Micro Pump.
If you need a more substantial boost on the same feed, you may want to choose the Automatic and Manual Pack:
Double Feed Boosting
If you're looking to boot/balance both the Gravity Hot and Gravity Cold feeds, you will need the Double Automatic Pack:
Shower Power Booster Compatibility with Electric Showers
All electric showers require an incoming cold water pressure exceeding 0.8 Bar, lest the electric shower disengage its heating elements, resulting in either cold or excessively hot water. The Shower Power Booster Pump augments pressure and flow rates to prevent this occurrence. As previously advised, if your flow rates are exceptionally low and a single pump falls short, upgrading to the Automatic and Manual Pack will provide the necessary boost.
Compatibility with Combi Boilers
The Shower Power Booster Pump can be employed both before and after a Combi boiler. Installing it prior to the boiler serves to boost water pressure throughout the entire home, whereas installing it after the boiler offers support to up to three underperforming taps and showers.
Compatibility with Hot Water Recirculation
In larger homes, hot water circulation is often facilitated by a single impeller pump. Enhancing flow rate and pressure can be challenging, as a more powerful pump might only accelerate recirculation. This Shower Pump can be seamlessly integrated with an existing recirculation pump to provide a high-pressure boost.
