Water pump

[pete123]

Hi Guys
We are having our bathrooms poshed up later this year,and our showers being gravity feed are a little weak so I thinking of a pump.But I don't know if with the solar panals it would a bit too much pressure.
So any advice would be great.

I fitted a hot water booster pump...
got it from yapi market(by sunday market)
cost about 200tl.
as cold water is on mains... hot water boosted to 2-3 bar.
great pressure now.

I have been thinking of ways to try and balance the pressure differences. I have a pressure reducing valve to try and reduce the cold water pressure to the shower. The pump could be the best option.

Where is the pump situated?
Do you have an on/off switch in the bathroom or in the fuse box?
Is the pump running continuously?
When the pump is off does it affect the flow of the hot water?

Thanks for any advice.

I have fitted my pump in the loft, it's on the hot pipe from the
solar tank. it is wired to the fuse board.
It turns on and of from its own water pressure valve on the pump.
Took me about 3 hours to do the job.
