I am having my bathrooms refitted, and am having 2 power showers and a whirlpool bath installed. The plumber has fitted a pump in our loft to use with the 2 power showers. My question is this - the water pressure to our bath is terrible - it takes over 30 minutes to fill half way up. The plumber is reluctant to fit the pump to the bath as well to improve the pressure. Firstly are there any issues in doing this (he mentioned that then the whole house would be "pumped" - I don't know if this is good or bad), and secondly if the bath can't run off the pump what can we do to improve the bath filling time?

Are you on well water or municipal water?

How old is your home? What material are the pipes made of? Copper. Plastic or galvanized? What is the water pressure as it enters your house? Back to you, Tom
