    Hi,

    we have plans to put in 3 mixer showers that work off the hot water system (which is geothermal), i was wondering what are my options on pressurising the system, 2 of the mixer showers have body jets and the recommended pressure is 3 bar..was wondering what peoples opions are on this and how would you go about this...hope this is not too general:)

    Is it possible to pressurise the whole system ie including taps/baths/sinks hot and cold or just pressurize the shower circuit?

    yes u can do either: the plumbing is not hard, get a stuarts http://www.stuart-turner.co.uk/, not the plastic crap in b+q et al

    just dont 'pump' the ensuite toilets, at 0300 the pump can be v loud, particularly after a bad chinese:)

    ps how big is the HW tank, 3 bar body jets use a lot of water

    the HW tank is 160 litre, we have a 4 body jet mixer shower tower at the moment and it works fine with a 3 bar pump, and yes we went with stuart turner as well
