What version of the ShowerPowerBooster should I buy?
ShowerBowerBooster fully automatic pumps are the most popular shower pump in the UK with close to 2,000 five star reviews on Trustpilot. Manually operated pumps are available if you have negative head but all SPB automatic pumps can also work manually. All our pumps add up to 5 metres head using under 15 watts and there is a 12 volt transformer which plugs into a standard 3 pin socket. Our customer service and product backup second to none – we offer 30 day returns, up to 3 years warranty, and help with installation or product selection. We send a detailed fitting guide with all pumps.
Will a ShowerPowerBooster Boost the pressure in my home? – YES
The ShowerPowerBooster will boost any and all domestic water systems and it will improve flow provided you have a pressure problem. Our pump works with any mixer or tap to give a good flow provided your problem is not a faulty shower mixer or tap or another substandard item. A common substandard item is your shower head so for the sake of £16 and a visit to WrightChoice Shower Heads , you may find part of your solution.
Will it Work For All Systems – Yes
Whatever your system is, a SP2B fully automatic pump is at the heart of the solution. If you are doing the work yourself, buying a SP2B and “up-grading” if you need to, is possibly best for DIY fitting. If you know you have low pressure cold then boost that at the same time by buying a SP22S to boost the hot and the cold. If you are using a plumber and you want to avoid a second visit plan on a single visit. Here are the options with the recommended pump to buy in bold for all systems
