    Hi
    Upgrading the boiler and trying to remove electric showers, was thinking of pressurising the system for showers. Whats the best way to do it ? Pump or use the mains pressure ?

    Unless you’re living in England, then a pump is the only way to go

    It’s not as simple as sticking on a pump. You’re installing a pressurised system and there’s several regulations to adhere to. A pressurised cylinder is also needed.

    Could you just pressurise the shower outlets and leave normal cylinder in place?

    Maybe install 2 X TritonAS2000XT which have a integral pump and give, I think, around 15 LPM.

    You could install a shower pump yep but it wouldn’t be pressurised as such

    Yeah i got that for cylinder ok, need the stainless steel one ? trying to get away from using electric showers (t90sr) idea was to try and get decent pressure on feeds in house, may look at pumped showers instead.
