Just a quick question.
I am about to install a pump for my new shower, however I have seen in some shower pump installation leaflets (not the MF I intend to use) that all the pipework should be run at low level, not high.
I had planned to run the pipes up out of the airing cupboard into the loft and then down into the cubicle as this is more convienient than pulling the floor boards up, however after seeing the aforementioned instructions I have started wondering if it will work!
My cold water cistern is in the airing cupboard (it is above the intended shower head though) and I am wondering if there will be sufficient (if any) flow available to start the flow switches if the pump is supplied from the cistern in the cupboard and the pipes run into the loft (i.e. because they will essentially be rising above the level of the cistern before turning horizontal and running through the loft to above the cubicle).
Hope that makes sense
