i am about to convert my loft,, which will make space for 2 bedrooms and a shower.

The main problems is the shower....

1. the house is off a spring and not mains water.

2. the cold tank will not be high enough for the shower.

3. don't want an electric shower.

what are the options if i had had mains water i would have put a pressurised cylinder in ...

maybe a pump in the line..

any help, ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
you will need what is called a negative head shower pump they vary in prices from £150 + vat upwards, ask at any plumbers merchants and they can give you details of prices and options.

I assume that you are using a pump to get water from your spring to your cold water storage tank for the hot water.
you wont use that pump to feed the shower. you will need a twin impellar negative head pump that will take cold water from your cold water storage tank, and hot water from your cylinder to feed the shower.
