What’s the best shower pump for increasing water pressure?
A shower pump can boost your water flow, giving you better water pressure and a more satisfying showering experience. The best shower pump to improve water pressure depends on the type of central heating and hot water system in your home and the kind of shower you have.
If you have a combi boiler or an unvented boiler system, you shouldn’t need a water pump. These boilers provide a high-pressure water supply with a generous flow. Gravity-fed systems are the most likely to experience low water pressure, which can be resolved using shower pumps.
There are a few things to consider when choosing the best shower pump for your home:
Whether you have a positive or negative head system – positive head systems need positive head shower pumps, and negative head systems need negative head shower pumps.
Whether you have a twin or single shower pump – twin pumps are designed for both hot and cold water supplies, boosting both at the same level. Single shower pumps can only raise the water pressure of the hot or cold water supply and are usually used to boost hot water.
The bar rating – 1 bar is ideal for smaller shower heads, 2 is best for multiple showers, taps or appliances, and 3 bar pumps are best for power showers and large shower heads.
