The easiest way to deal with insufficient water pressure is to install a new shower pump. The following instructions will show you how to perform this procedure.
Required Tools and Materials
5 amp plug point
15-mm pipes
Pump
Surrey flange
Isolating valve
Concrete paving slab
Step 1
Place the pump as near the cold and hot water Storage tanks as possible. Try putting it 30 m under the cold water tank and about 4 m from the hot water tank. Set the pump as low as you can and the water input head as high as can be. Ensure the water area around the pump has good ventilation. Put it on a concrete slab to keep the noise down.
Step 2
Put the shower pump on the slab in a horizontal manner. The pipe outlets must be set upwards. Join the pipe to the cold water tank. This should be done before linking the pump to electricity. Hook up the supply pipe to the cold water supply. Ensure the supply tank has the right capacity so water flows properly (i.e., 8 liters a minute).
Step 3
Link the pipe to the hot water outlet. Now connect the pipe to the water cylinder using the flange. Affix the thermostat to the pump so the water doesn't get too hot.
Step 4
Set up the isolation valve and join it to the shower inlet. Make sure the valve isn't fastened too tightly. Put the brass ring between the pipe and nut.
Step 5
To finish installing a shower pump, connect the pump wiring to an electric switchboard. Make certain there is a 5 amp plug for this connection.
Tips and Warnings
Check with your municipality for the regulations concerning pump installation. There may be restrictions regarding the capacity. The electrical connections should also be installed only after the piping setup is finished.
Before You Buy a Pump
Determine if your bath has positive or negative pressure. If the cold water tank is above your tank level, it is positive. If it is lower, you have negative water pressure. Check the pump specs so you don't make a mistake when you shop.
When you look for a shower pump, consider the outlet pressure too. The water pressure capacity varies widely per product, so choose the one that best fits your needs. The pressure range is from 1.5 bar to 4.5 and higher.
Another factor you have to consider is the power supply. Pumps can work with numerous output power frequencies, so check this aspect out carefully. Also remember that these pumps have an induction meter. If the wrong pipe specs are applied to the incorrect power supply, the outcome could be a disaster. The quantity of water you use is also an issue. There's no point buying a 350 W pump if you only take one shower per day.
Putting in a new shower pump is the most practical solution to problems with water pressure. As long as you know what to look for when you buy pumps, those water pressure issues will be a thing of the past.
