As Shaun you need to put service valves on the pump, you could have saved yourself some money by using 15mm pipe what made you use 22mm ?? when connections at each end are only 15mm you wont get any more water out of it
Doesn't need 22mm outlets, but on most of inlet pipes it is good practice.
You should have had full bore lever valves on inlet pipes.
I would have used a pipe bender so to avoid using brass elbows or any fittings and also they cause restrictions. Also a bender can make nice offsets to pump and pipes would need clipped properly.
The positive pump might work okay. You don't need a negative pump if flow from shower starts the pump always, but it is a risk the positive head pump might not work and is subject to low flow or air in pipes.
If you need to Run a shower when useing up and over pipe work use a negitive head Pump Just make sure it only feeds pump if you feed WC ? as well this is not addvisible because every time you use wc it will cause the pump to come on Its more of a annoying factor like if you have relations staying if the WC is used at nite could waken the hole house As regards pumps stay away from any of the plastic type pump impeller can meltEvening all.
I am currently attempting to self install a shower pump and I was wondering If routing the pipes into the loft and then across to the bathroom around 2.5 metres away would cause any issues?
The pipes are literally running underneath the cold water cistern, will I have problems with head with it being just under the cistern?
Thanks.
wrighty
And i forgot to add if you have to feed wc with the NHP use a torbic ball valve this way all bases are covered what can happed is ball valve in cistern will not knock off so in the torbic ball cock pack they give you restrictors normaly high. low and medium pressure .hope this helpsIf you need to Run a shower when useing up and over pipe work use a negitive head Pump Just make sure it only feeds pump if you feed WC ? as well this is not addvisible because every time you use wc it will cause the pump to come on Its more of a annoying factor like if you have relations staying if the WC is used at nite could waken the hole house As regards pumps stay away from any of the plastic type pump impeller can melt
