Shower Pumps

Do I need a shower pump?

The pleasure of swirling water is the essence of the modern bathroom. Every time you step into the shower or turn on a tap, there should be a pulse of enjoyment.

Without adequate pressure and water flow this is impossible.

Shower Pumps help address this problem.

In continental Europe and America water supplies in the house are connected to the mains water supply (unvented systems) often giving a very high water pressure (in excess of 2 bar). Due to historical reasons, British water systems are generally connected to a water tank in the loft.

These are referred to as low pressure vented gravity systems relying on the height of the cold water storage tank in the loft to provide the pressure and water flow to the house. Given the restriction of the height of the tank, such houses suffer from low pressure (often less than half a bar.)

Britain is the only Western country that routinely uses gravity systems. Consequently all research and development by tap and shower manufacturers concentrates on high water pressure systems leaving the British consumer "high and dry".

Realistically, the modern bathroom needs 2 or 3 bars pressure making a pump in the UK a necessity rather than a luxury.

Given the relatively low cost and reliability of these modern shower pumps there is now no reason to continue suffering the lousy British shower.
