I am not sure on one thing, is it possible to install a 2 bar shower pump in the loft that is above the shower head? As the cold water is fed from Cold Water Loft Tank in the loft so the cold water will be above the pump by 30cm or so and the hot water is coming from storage tank below it say 1m or 2m below the pump...

Or there's other option... connecting cold water to the mains and the hot water will be coming from Hot Water Cylinder... buying a shower pump only for hot water only but the pump will be above the hot water cylinder and shower head as it will be in the loft...

Will I get stable water pressure at the shower head?

Which is the best option?

Hey Jase,
