The Watermill AP031W 2 Bar Shower Pump, with its WRAS certification, is designed to be positioned within your home's water network. Its primary function is to elevate water pressure during your showers or when using the basin faucet, ensuring a more potent flow in both situations. This device can achieve pressure levels up to 2 bar.
The pump's design incorporates a positive head, signifying its reliance on the inherent flow of water. It's connected to a source, commonly a cold water tank, which is placed a minimum of 1 metre above the device. Due to the gravitational effect, water seamlessly flows from the reservoir to the pump. This setup means the pump doesn't actively pull water in, leading to superior efficiency compared to, say, a pump having a negative head.
An added benefit to this configuration is the diminished risk of air accumulation in the system, which can inhibit its optimal performance since air intake can disrupt the pump's expected output.
Constructed of brass and stainless steel, this pump ensures tap water is safely transferred without the concern of rust contamination. Equipped with dual impellers, it manages both hot and cold water simultaneously. This ensures uninterrupted water flow, even if another tap is engaged, such as someone rinsing their hands. Moreover, with its anti-vibration and non-slip feet, it guarantees a silent operation.
It's crucial to note that directly connecting this pump to the central water system is against UK standards, as this could potentially reduce water pressure for adjacent residences.
How the Watermill AP031W 2 Bar Shower Pump works:
Responsive to faucet activity, the Watermill AP031W 2 Bar Shower Pump autonomously toggles based on water flow detection. It springs into action when a faucet is in use and deactivates once water flow ceases.
The principal conduit funnels water to a cold water reservoir. Hereafter the water goes via one conduit to a heating tank before reaching the pump. In parallel, the other conduit guides cold water directly to the pump. Subsequently, the pump amplifies the water's force, channeling it with significant pressure to the intended delivery points.
