Shower pump sizing

PLEASE IGNORE POSTED IN WRONG PLACE

Hi,

About to install a shower pump and was wondering what pressure people would recommend.

We're not looking for a massively powerful shower, just a decent flow through a standard sized head. We have two showers, but it's very unlikely they'll be used at the same time.

We have a 50 gal cistern and a 140 litre DHW cylinder. We'd like to be able to take a couple of showers one after the other without draining the water. can't decide between a 1.5 bar and 2.0 bar.

Bristan do a variable flow pump - but they look a bit pants, only rated for 20 mins use per hour...

Cheers
Simon

Are electrical experts the best people to ask?

And this taken from another thread I raised:


For a very good shower you would need a Stuart Turner pump.

This would need to be fitted next to the hot water cylinder and have a cold supply from the tank a hot supply from the cylinder. Then have these pipes run to the shower.
