    My water pump is leaking, I'm looking for a replacement but can't find the same one, is there a similar one I can get?

    What is it feeding ? Shower mate is the replacement for the st55 but should only be used on a shower
    If it’s feeding the whole house a brass body pump is required

    It's a pressure pump, its feeding the hot water to the shower, taps and toilet..

    In that case by installing the direct replacement would void any warranty as they are only warrantied to be connected to a single shower and nothing else.
    As said above, get a brass bodied pump, Stuart Turner or Grundfoss positive head 1.5 bar.

    Could you recommend a replacement from this website? https://www.screwfix.ie/c/bathrooms-kitchens/shower-pumps/cat820270

    I wouldn't recommend buying a pump from Screwfix as the connection hoses that you get with those pumps are UK 22mm and will be loose on our imperial pipework and will leak or flood.
    Buy from a local stockist.
    If you have more than a shower connected to the pump the recommendation is to use a brass pump.
