stuart turner pumps are one of the best

Grundfos are a good name and all there industrial stuff ive fitted have been problem free

Check the noise rating as some can be very loud

stuart Turner are the best. Either one of them or plumber recommended a Salamander. Whatever you do - Not New Team - absolute dire!!

I have a Techflow QT 45. It is only 1.2 bar, but does what I want it to - gives me a decent flow of water without emptying the hot tank in 20 seconds flat.

I think most noise is propagated by poor/faulty installation - and air in the system, make sure you use the correct type of flange !

Hi out of interest i am about to fit a 3 bar stuart turner pump to boost 2 sowers. Do you think this will empty the hot tank very quickly. We basically have the hot water on for about an hour each day and this does us fine do you think I will see a noticeable difference with the pump fitted.

To quote the "Churchill dog":- "Oh Yes !".

Obviously it depends on the size of your tank to start with. Have a look at the spec of your pump and see how many litres a minute (second ?) it pumps, it wont be pumping all hot water but it should give you some indication of how much water you will use in two showers.

If a shower pump is rated to pump X ammount of litres per minute is that the mininum/maximum ammount I should be able to collect in a suitable container to measure if it is?
