The Shower Power Booster can be installed in the loft anywhere on the pipes up there (but not directly on the vent pipe -see diagram). Installing a pump in the loft above a hot water cylinder is a very good place for a Shower Power Booster Pump and after fitting the pump just raise the insulation in your loft to cover the pump to protect from frost. You can even surround a SPB pump with bubble wrap as there is no need to ventilate around the pump as it will not overheat.
Traditional pumps must be installed at 600mm below the bottom of the cold water storage tank but the SPB is designed specifically not to pull in air from the vent pipe or the cold tank so there is no minimum distance below the bottom of the cold tank required. A SPB to boost hot water fitted at a level just above the ceiling joists is perfect.
To allow air to vent back to the vent pipe or into the cold tank the pipes should fall gently from the tank/vent pipe to the shower and or tap you wish to boost. We sell everything you could need to do the job included free of charge with the pump.
For an upstairs shower we have found 85% of customers only need a single SP2B Shower Power Booster on the hot water pipe but you may prefer to boost the hot and the cold with a SP22S.
30,000 thousand customers all over the world have bought our pumps and fitted these to their existing pipework. You can save the cost of pipework when you can cut it into your existing pipes, the cost of raising the tank is avoided, the cost of an electrician avoided, and it is an easy DIY task.
