Hi ... I hope you can help?
I recently paid to have all my electrics upgraded so as I could upgrade to a 10.5Kw electric shower (all Part P approved etc and no problems).
I then purchased the shower - a Galaxy Aqua 4000.
We had numerous problems - shower either too hot or too cold, no "force" behind the water etc. Called the shower people out and they said we were "right on the limit" with regard to the pressure needed for the shower to work properly.
So... next plan is to fit a single impeller pump and feed the shower from the cold water tank instead of the mains.
Question 1 - what size cold water tank would I need (current is 91Litres/20 gallons) ?
Question 2 - what pump would I need ? 1.5 bar ?
Question 3 - anyone know any website with intructions on how to do all this?
Many thanks for your help!!

for info : Galaxy Aqua 4000 : minimum recommended runnin water pressure to which the shower may be connected is 15lb/sq in (1Bar). Running pressure at 8 litres per minute. Maximum static pressure recommended is 150 lb/sq in (10 bar). ... Minimum running pressure must be obtained at 11 litres per minute for the 10.5kw unit
