Evening all
I have a problem, created not by me. Client has a finished bathroom with a Hudson Reed shower fitted. I've had a look at the spec of the shower, it needs minimum 2 bar pressure. We haven't got that, we have about 6 metres head (if that) on the tank fed cold. The hot is from a calorifier in a plant room which is fed from a tank same height as the one feeding the gravity cold down service.
My problem is this- I can't stick any pump on this to boost the pressure because the hot has a hot return pump on it to provide secondary circulation for all the other properties and also there's a charge pump on the secondary side of the plate exchanger on the plant room which works like a stratification pump.
My worry is that the centrifugal forces from both these other pumps will act against any pump I fit to boost hot and cold to the shower? Am I right in saying this anyone suggest a solution? Major ball ache for property owner as bathroom been finished not long ago. Thanks as always for your help in advance
