Friends
I've got a plumbing issue (not personal) and I need advice as to whether my solution will work.
I've drawn a diagram and it looks ok in theory but I'd like your comments as it's not ideal.
Ok, so custard had a new bathroom installed by a Polish.
New bath, basin, toilet and mixer shower with multiple jets.
The shower has a pump for hot water, cold is from mains feed.
Now, the upstairs hot taps to bath & basin have no pressure.
The system is gravity fed with cwsc in loft.
The shower had stopped working. I tested the pump today and there is power going to it but when demand initiated nothing happens.
The custard, who, as always wants a cheap fix wants the shower to work but also wants hot to bath/basin to have pressure also.
So, can I do this?
Can I fit a new single impeller pump, which will have a elbow off of the 22mm hot feed from cylinder, reduce to 15mm and then feed into the pump. On the other side of the pump will be a 15mm pipe going up to the shower. Off of that pipe can I use a 15x15x22mm Tee to then pipe up to connect to the other part of the 22 mm hot feed?
In essence the hot feed 22 mm pipe with have a chunk of pipe removed, routed via the pump and connected again.
I don't thinks its ideal but will it work?
In theory it should but in practice will the pump last?
She wants a salamander CT55.
Thanks for Reading and I hope it makes sense.
