From contact to coming to our home, diagnosis and having hot water again was excellent.

Coming back in a couple of weeks to change a couple of components. I would not hesitate to recommend.

I use Terrance Hughes & Sons to help maintain a property and the team has always provided quick and high quality work. Terry and Pavel are always on hand to provide me with support, including recently installing a boiler and carrying out the necessary inspections.

They complete work to a high standard, respect my tennants and focus on getting the job done. This helps me immensely because i trust them to do the work to my requirements. I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services in future.

My Aqualisa shower had not been working properly for some time. TJ Hughes fitted a new controller and diverter, and the shower now works perfectly.
Not cheap but much less expensive than Aqualisa’s repair charge, and less still than a new shower.

For those with low mains water pressure, a Shower Pump is an effective, low-cost solution that will take your low-pressure water and redistribute it at high pressure to your shower and taps.

We fit all types of shower pump which there are several variations. The type of shower pump you need will depend on your existing system and water pressure. Our plumbers will determine the best pump for your current system and home.

Universal Or Standard Pump?

Standard Pumps

Standard Pumps are used in positive head situations with gravity fed open vented systems.

Universal Pumps

Universal pumps can be used in both positive and negative head situations, and unlike standard pumps, they don’t require gravity.

Impellor Single or Double?

Shower pumps are available with single or double impellors

Single impellers power hot or cold water only
Double impellors power both hot and cold water

Positive or Negative Head?

The type of head you require will depend on the set up of your system.

If you have a gravity-fed system, then a Positive head pump will be required. The pump is fitted below the water tank.

When the fitting of a Positive Head Pump is not possible, a negative head pump will be used, which is fitted inline or above the water tank and pulls water (instead of being fed) from the supply, delivered to the shower.

Pump Pressure

Pumps are rated between 0.5 and 4 bar, the pressure you require will depend on your existing system and the number of bathrooms you want to supply

0.5 – 1.5 bar pumps will provide a low boost to your existing mains pressure
1.5 – 3.0 bar pumps are used for single showers and bathrooms
2.0 – 4.5 bar pumps are used for two showers and bathrooms
