Can i use a shower pump to fill a bath?

if so what type of pump


and is it ok to have the hot tap open and not the cold?Can i use a shower pump to fill a bath?
Yes you can.


Salamander do a range of whole house pumps that have a by-pass so that you can use hot and cold independently.


I have a shower over the bath with a thermostatic mixer valve and a diverter valve that turns one way for the shower and the other way to fill the bath through a centre spout.Can i use a shower pump to fill a bath?
NO YOU CANT


however ther are pumps to do this job


but you are not allowed by law to d.i.y.


as it is a '; notifiable to buiding dept '; install.


( fine could be 拢 5000..00 for d.i.y. or non registered trade)


and you will need a certificate of compliance with building regs.
Hello, not sure what a ';shower pump'; is but if it is made for showers, then it should fill a bath although slower. As long as the pump is on the main line to the faucet the valves will operate normally and it should not make a difference which tap is open or not. Hope this helps:-)
Do you work in the Fire .. Shower pump?!


Pumps used in homes for the purpose of increasing water pressure all line would be connected with .


Be able to do what you want in the end its your bath !
Shower pumps used for power showers have two ends, one for hot water and one for cold. Because of the volume of hot water they draw they should have their own supply from the hot water cylinder closest to the top or via an Essex flange. If you use the existing supply to the bath you will probably suck air if another hot water tap is opened and damage the pump.


Its not something I would want to try, especially with the electrical problems if you were intending to put the pump under the bath.
