Watermill BP100D

The Watermill AP032W 3 Bar Shower Pump, possessing WRAS certification, is crafted to be situated amongst your domestic water pipe system. Its core function is to augment the water pressure when you're in the midst of a shower or activating your sink faucet, affording you a heightened water flow during both activities. The pump's peak pressure capacity stands at 3 bar.

This pump is designed with a positive head, ensuring that it receives water in a passive manner. It's linked to a water source, a cold water tank in most cases, placed a minimum distance of 1 metre above it. Due to the gravitational pull, water effortlessly descends from this tank into the pump. This passive water flow mechanism allows the pump to function at enhanced efficiency levels in comparison to pumps with a negative head.

One distinctive benefit of this setup is the reduced potential for air accumulation within the system. Such an occurrence could be detrimental, as the introduction of air could hamper the pump's efficacy.

Comprised of both brass and stainless steel, this pump ensures that tap water is conveyed without the risk of rust-related contaminants. It's equipped with dual impellers, facilitating the simultaneous movement of both hot and cold water. This capability guarantees an uninterrupted shower experience, even when another faucet is being utilized concurrently. Moreover, it's designed with features to minimize vibrations and ensure stability, ensuring a quiet operation.

It's essential to emphasize that directly interfacing this pump with the main water grid is illegal in the UK, as it may compromise the water pressure for surrounding residences.

Understanding the Functionality of the Watermill AP032W 3 Bar Shower Pump:

The pump's operational state toggles automatically in response to water flow generated by faucet use. Its activation is triggered upon faucet engagement, and it deactivates once water movement ceases.

The main water pipe channels water into a divided cold water tank. One of these partitions sends water to a heating tank prior to its introduction to the pump. Concurrently, the other passage directs the cold water straight to the pump. Once received, the pump amplifies the water's propulsion, dispatching it with notable pressure to the intended outlets.
