Shower Pump Installation in Snodland in Kent

When you hire JMA, you aren't getting a random sub-contractor from a national firm. You are getting a dedicated local expert.

• Gas Safe Registered: While a pump is plumbing, my Gas Safe status shows I work to the highest safety standards in the industry.
• Qualified Professional: I hold a Level 2 Plumbing qualification, meaning I have the formal training to back up my years of hands-on experience.
• Personal Service: As a sole trader, I manage the project from start to finish. You always know exactly who is coming into your home.
• Local Knowledge: I understand the specific plumbing challenges of Kent homes, from hard water issues to old gravity-fed pipework.

It all comes down to gravity. If your shower head is below the bottom of your cold water tank, a positive head pump usually works because there is already a natural flow. If your shower is on the same level as the tank (like in a loft conversion), you’ll need a negative head pump to "pull" the water through. I can tell you which one you need within five minutes of looking at your system.

Modern pumps from brands like Stuart Turner and Salamander are designed to be as quiet as possible. I also use anti-vibration feet and flexible couplers to keep noise to a minimum. While you will hear a hum when the water is running, it shouldn't be intrusive.

No, shower pumps are specifically for gravity-fed systems with a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank. If you have a combi boiler and your pressure is low, you might need a different solution, such as a mains booster or a larger incoming water pipe. I can diagnose this for you during a visit.

A pump increases the flow rate, which means you will use more water per minute than a dripping shower. However, because the shower is more efficient, people often find they spend less time under the water, which can balance things out.
