Hello All,
I should already know the answer to this after doing some reading online, however for one reason or another im still not entirely convinced i fully understand.
I just replaced my shower pump in the loft with a positive head pump, there is a ~1m drop between the water tank and the shower head. However, the pump is actually at the same level as the tank itself...
What is happening, is that the pump is engaging for a second, stoping, engaging, stoping, rinse and repeat. I assume this is because there is no drop between the water tank and shower pump, so the inlet is not getting a steady stream of water at the required pressure?
In this scenario, would a negative pump be needed? Or is there more to it...
*the pump fitted is a brand new Salamander CT50
Many Thanks in advance
