Thanks for your video — it taught me a lot, even though it was uploaded 4 years ago.
I installed a shower pump for my customer yesterday. To avoid any risk of damaging the cylinder, I decided not to touch the existing top fittings.
Instead, I used a 3/4” Warix flange together with a 3/4” female coupler to 22mm compression adaptor, and it worked perfectly for me.

By far the best plumbing videos on YouTube 👍

This is what I need. My father in law set the pump up next to the shower and its so loud. I wanted the pump providing pressure to the whole house not just 1 shower. Will get a plumber to do this! Thanks great video

Great work. Inspiring a new plumber like me, I Qualified last year, just starting up. Thanks for the videos.👏👍

[marksherrit]

Great video. Only difference I do is make up three pipework from the pump before I cut into the 22 pipes.

Brilliant video. It makes such an improvement to hot water flow.

Nice job Mark, I always use CT1 now instead of paste on my threaded water unions and never had a single drip it’s great stuff with dozens of other uses..
cheers mate and keep up the good work...👍

Thanks matey

Hi. Great video. My hot water outlet goes up, how could I plumb this in? Guessing my vent is further up

[aashraf]

Pipework bends on 22 👌👌👌👌, true plumber

[Rayzorit]

Great video very well explained. Tell me is it possible to have the pump coming on automatically when the water is turned on?. Instead of having to switch it each time.

[dreadpirateroberts]

Hi, great video, can the pump also be used to fill up a bath tub as well? I'm thinking about pump run time more than running the tank/cylinder dry.

[markrichardson]

Cracking job! loving the videos. keep them coming. 👍

Actually what it does it protects from cavitation, that needle on a S-Flange prevents any air going into pump, which could cause a air bubbles. Cavitation is the formation of bubbles or cavities in liquid, developed in areas of relatively low pressure around an impeller. The imploding or collapsing of these bubbles trigger intense shockwaves inside the pump, causing significant damage to the impeller and/or the pump housing, and hot water cylinders get damaged quicker because, oxygen it’s a destroyer of everything inside a plumbing, usually causes corrosion . I hope 🤞 that’s more clearer information.

When i fitted mine it was hot and cold tank fed to shower bare in mind if your cold is also tank fed get a pump which does both on cold outlet on tank in loft as the hot will over power the cold
