    Hi,
    I have had a pumped power shower for around 20 years and my second pump has died on me today.The pump is a Techflow QT120 3 bar twin impeller unit and I think the original came from the UK. Where can I get a replacment unit in Ireland....south of the border ideally......anyone got any ideas.?
    TIA, John

    Where abouts are you?

    If it's another techflow the answer is i don't know.

    If it's a more common brand your looking for, try DPL, Heatmerchants, Chadwicks or any plumbing supply shop.

    Hi,
    thanks for reply Jonnie...........they were taken over by Stuart turner in the lat 90s I think.........so agents for ST would have them. I think I have one on ebay but would prefer to go to a regular outlet. Is ther a Stuart Turner agent in Dublin anywhere??.....prolly Chadwicks or Modern Plant??.

    Modern Plant do not sell complete pumps over the counter.
    If you are based in Dublin then ring around all the plumbing suppliers, you will be surprised at some of the differences.

    Went to Chadwicks and they have a few......my existing pump was a 3bar unit now Im lookin at a 2.0 bar or even a 1.5 bar Mira. I have my own water meter which I installed in Nov 2012, and the house has used an average of 2.4 cu/m or 2400 liters of water a week since then. I hope the quota the government issues is close to that or I will be looking for a 1 liter/hour shower pump........or even using the mains pressure and NO pump.......Anyone else know what their averave household usage is.?

    You could use two pressure reducing valve's on the outlets reducing the flow.
