Product Information

Link multiple vessels together to increase performance. Only one vessel should be a pumped model in this scenario. It depends upon on a number of different factors on how much electricity your shower pump would use. The Flowflex SP2B Inline Shower Pump, for example, uses a lot less energy than other pumps. Most shower pumps use a small amount of electricity for every shower but it adds up over time and with recent news of energy price increases, it can become quite costly. Can a shower pump be too powerful? All electric showers need an incoming cold water pressure above 0.8 Bar, otherwise the electric shower will switch off heating elements and you will be left with a cold shower or boiling hot water. A negative shower pump, also called a universal shower pump, works by pressurizing everything inside the pipe — from the mixer valve to the pump. This ensures the pump’s ability to start each time, making it the ideal choice for systems that have the showerhead installed at the same (or higher) height as the cold water tank.

A single pump can improve every tap and shower in a home, or fitted to a single tap or shower it prevents the temperature fluctuation you sometimes get when other taps are used in a home. SPB is a new concept in plumbing (there really is nothing else that comes close to it). It is British, with a UK patent granted. It can legally be fitted to either mains supplies or gravity supplies, does not impede existing flows when turned off (it fails safe), has no risk of cavitation, or burning out when it runs dry, or when it runs against a closed valve. If you turn the pump off, you still get the same flow you would have got before fitting the pump. These are all problems which we have solved with this invention and our rivals have not. Shower pumps are designed for use on open vented hot and cold water systems. Low pressure water is taken into a chamber and fed into a spinning impeller. The water is then ejected at high speed. The impellers are powered by a motor, and the higher the power of the motor, the higher the pressure and flow rate. How to install a shower pump? Look out for the size of the pipe connections on your shower pump. These are usually either 15mm or 22mm. 22mm pipes can transport twice the amount of water, but it’s important that the connections match the rest of your pipework.

When used with my pull-out spray tap, the pressure is so much that I cant turn the tap to full power, as the spray wets the entire area around the sink.
