The types of shower pumps
Before we explore which shower pump you should buy, let’s consider the types available.
There are two types of shower pumps based on where your water supply is positioned:
- Positive head shower pumps are for when the water supply is higher than the showerhead.
- Negative head shower pumps are for when the water supply is below the showerhead.
Two types of shower pumps can be used to boost a hot or cold, or hot and cold water supply:
- Single impeller shower pumps boost either the hot or cold water supply.
- Twin impeller shower pumps boost both the hot and cold water supply.
