Shower Pump Install

[jaydebruyne]

One of my jobs tomorrow is to install a twin positive head pump for a bath/shower mixer tap.

Can it be as simple as cutting the existing pipework to the tap and taking it to the pump and then from the pump to the tap, if I install the pump under the bath?

Or do I have to go the route of dedicated feeds from the hot water cylinder with a flange and cold water tank?

Any help would be great!

Where is the pump going to be situated?

Doing it for your boss? Has he looked at job and priced it already or you?

Yes indeed for bossman.. well I went initially to see what was wrong with an existing pump and when I looked, there wasn't actually a pump installed. So I suggested one should be installed (slaps forehead)... So now I'm being sent back :/

It would require a dedicated cold supply from the tank & a dedicated hot feed from a Surrey flange to do it property... But there are probably many pumps fitted under a bath working okay... It depends how you want to do the job?

I'd like to do it properly but I have 5 jobs tomorrow and not much time.. plus being new to plumbing I sometimes take a little while longer than experienced engineers on the firm.. so I have even less time :/

Well best thing to do is ask your boss. He knows how experienced /inexperienced you are. He's obviously given the customer a price and they've agreed. From sounds of it, with all the other work he's given you then he just expects you to fit a pump under the bath end of story. Ask him.
