How can our shower pump repairs and installations benefit London customers?
-
No need to replace your existing shower
Shower pumps are designed to efficiently boost both hot and cold water pressure in a gravity-fed system, allowing you to maintain your current thermostatic mixer or electric shower. You won't need to replace your entire shower unit with a power shower.

No need to take up space in your home
A shower pump can be installed close to your mains water supply in areas like the loft or airing cupboard, keeping it out of sight and preventing any unsightly bulk in your bathroom.
-
No need for a hot water supply
If you're installing a new shower where there's no hot water supply, an electric shower with a pump could be the perfect solution. Whether you're upgrading your bathroom or installing a new power shower, our team will deliver a tailored solution.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a positive or negative head shower pump?
If your cold-water tank is positioned more than 600mm above the shower, a positive head pump is suitable. For installations where the tank is less than 600mm above, a negative head (universal) pump is recommended.
Can I install a shower pump with a combi boiler?
Standard shower pumps are not compatible with combi boilers due to their design. However, specific booster pumps are available that can enhance shower performance in combi systems.
How noisy are centrifugal vs regenerative pumps?
Centrifugal pumps operate more quietly as they use centrifugal force to move water, whereas regenerative pumps produce a higher-pitched noise due to their stripping action.
Where should a pump be located? (airing cupboard, loft, under bath)
The pump should be installed in a location close to the water source, such as an airing cupboard or loft, ensuring easy access for maintenance and optimal performance.
How do I bleed or prime a shower pump?
To bleed a shower pump, turn off the power, remove the showerhead, run the shower on both hot and cold settings for about 5 minutes each, then allow the system to drain before restoring power.
How can I reduce pump motor overheating?
Ensure the pump is not running continuously for extended periods, clean filters regularly, and verify that the pump is appropriately sized for your system to prevent overheating.
What regular maintenance does a shower pump need?
Regular maintenance includes descaling the showerhead, cleaning filters, checking for leaks, and ensuring the pump operates efficiently to prolong its lifespan.
How long does installation typically take?
Installation time varies based on system complexity, but typically, a professional plumber can install a shower pump within 3 to 5 hours.
When should I call a professional for pump repair/install?
It's advisable to consult a professional if you experience issues like low water pressure, unusual noises, or if the pump fails to operate, to ensure safe and effective resolution.
What warranty/support comes with Stuart Turner pumps?
Stuart Turner pumps typically come with a 2-year warranty, offering support for any manufacturing defects or issues arising under normal use conditions.
